802T-NP

Overview of Allen Bradley 802T-NP

Allen Bradley 802T-NP is a standard oiltight limit switch engineered for precise position detection in industrial control environments. This model features a two-circuit configuration and operates with both clockwise and counterclockwise rotary lever actuation. The body is constructed from durable metal for longevity in harsh settings, and the switch meets international safety and quality standards including CCC, CE, CSA, KC, and UL. Designed to maintain accuracy in repetitive operations, the 802T-NP integrates easily with control panels and automation assemblies, making it suitable for integration with programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and other industrial control systems. The non plug-in style helps ensure reliability through a direct wiring solution, while the spring return lever offers consistent neutral positioning after actuation. Its oiltight enclosure meets NEMA ratings 4 and 13, providing protection against dust, water, and oil ingress commonly found in plant environments.

Applications / Use Case

Allen Bradley 802T-NP is commonly used for position detection and equipment interlocking in manufacturing, packaging, and automotive facilities. It's ideal for monitoring the position of mechanical components such as machine doors, gates, conveyor sections, and robotics arms. The switch’s durable oiltight construction suits use in areas exposed to oil, dust, and moisture, such as metalworking cells, paint shops, and assembly lines. Its compatibility with various PLC systems facilitates integration for safety, feedback, and automation tasks. The spring return mechanism and defined travel angle (53°) make it effective for motion sensing and process control accuracy. Typical applications include limit detection, process control safety cutoffs, and actuator feedback loops in continuous industrial operations.
