METRIX MECHANICAL VIBRATION SWITCHES 5550-122-011

5550 and 5550G mechanical vibration switches provide basic, economical vibration protection by means of a simple and highly reliable “over center” snap action mass and spring mechanism. The switch snaps from a stable “untripped” state to a stable “tripped” state, allowing automatic machinery shutdown or alarming when excessive vibration occurs. Once tripped, the switch must be returned to its untripped state via its local reset plunger (5550 only), or via voltage applied to its remote reset coil (optional).

A single set of silver-plated SPDT relay contacts are provided as standard for connecting the switch to a machine control or annunciation circuit. An option for DPDT contacts is also available, and for extremely corrosive environments, gold-plated relay

contacts may be ordered.
