8. GO SwitchCommon Features Heavy duty dry contacts
Excellent for both high and low loads
Vibration resistant, high contact pressure
Self-cleaning with wiping action
Contact ratings are for resistive loads
Inductive loads app 1/2 published ratings
9. Competition:Technologies Mechanical: Lever arm linked to the switch mechanism
Solid State: Electrically created magnetic field measures change in magnetic field to trip switch
Reed: Glass encapsulated switch mechanism tripped by a magnetic target
GO is a hybrid technology that combines the advantages of each of the above with none of their drawbacks
10. Competition:Limit Switch A Limit Switch is an electrical mechanical device that that provides an electrical signal through a set of contacts.
When the object to be sensed comes in contact with an actuator, this mechanical motion closes (makes) or opens (breaks) a set of contacts
Limit Switches are often applied because
They do not require external power
Have a very wide voltage and current range
Do not have leakage current
Have a higher temperature range than solid state sensors
Disadvantages
Require contact with object to be sensed
Limited sensing distance
Mechanical wear
11. Competition:Mechanical Limit Switches Lever arms bend, break and wear
Some require up to 32 in lbs to operate
GO is proximity - no contact, wear, torque
Multiple moving parts to fail:
Lever arms, rollers, springs, gears
GO has only one moving part - no metal to metal contact making it move
Hole(s) with gaskets invite moisture and dust
GO is completely potted and sealed
12. Competition:Mechanical Limit Switches Moisture problems are common:
Contact chamber not potted
Gasket dries, cracks, and fails
GO is completely potted and sealed
Repeatability is poor - lever stroke varies
GO is repeatable to 0.002” for life
Maintenance headache
GO is maintenance free
13. Competition:Proximity Switches Traditional “prox” switches are solid state devices. They use inductive sensing technology to detect the presence of absence of a metallic target
Many shapes and sizes
Square, rectangular, cylindrical, puck, etc
Can be very small
Works better in tough environments as compared to Photoelectrics and Limit Switches
Low cost
14. Competition:Inductive Proximity Sensors Solid state - consumes power to operate
GO is dry contact - consumes no power
Two piece construction is fragile
GO is one piece stainless or brass
Must stock 4 models for AC, DC, NO, NC
GO - one model does it all
Not explosion proof
GO is Class I Div I all groups
15. Competition:Inductive Proximity Sensors IS barrier brand sensitive
GO is simple device - use any barrier
GO hermetic seal is Non-Incendive
Temperature sensitive - sensing varies
GO to 400oF with stable sensing
Many wiring precautions
GO handles high loads - no voltage drop or current leakage - series or parallel
16. Competition:Reed Switches A Reed Switch consists of two magnetic contacts when approached by a target magnet, attract each other and close a circuit.
Contacts are contained in a gas filled glass tube
Can be packaged in many different sized enclosures
Designed to switch lower currents and can not handle high current loads
17. Competition:Reed Switches Switch mechanism often unreliable
GO is proven to 100s of millions of cycles
Susceptible to vibration and bounce
GO contact pressure is much greater
Glass tube hermetic seal is fragile
GO herm seal is virtually unbreakable
Require magnet to operate
GO needs only ferrous metal
