Schneider XCE106C Cat Whisker Type Universal Actuation IP65 Spring Return Industrial Travel Switch

Product Overview

Core Advantages

• Cat Whisker Multi‑Directional Actuation: Flexible steel wire (Ø1.2 mm) detects contact from all angles; ideal for irregular or moving profiles.
• Spring Return: Automatically resets when contact is lost, enabling repetitive cyclic operation.
• IP65 Protection: Dust‑tight and splash‑proof, suitable for harsh workshop conditions.
• 1NO + 1NC Contact: Combined normally open/closed for flexible circuit design and safety redundancy.
• High Sensitivity & Fast Response: Low actuation force (1.5 N); snap‑action switching at up to 120 cycles/min.
• Compact & Durable: Plastic housing + steel actuator; withstands vibration (10–55 Hz) and impacts (30 gn).
• Easy Installation & Wiring: Surface‑mount; screw terminals for 6–9 mm cables.
