The **M2AS1-4141-R/CE** belongs to a specific category of industrial automation components, typically identified as a **Limit Switch** or **Position Sensor** assembly, often associated with brands like *Bernstein* or similar industrial control manufacturers. ### 1. Technical Specifications The part number indicates a specific configuration of contacts, housing, and actuator type. Below is a breakdown of the typical electronic and mechanical specifications for this series: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Contact Type** | 1 NO (Normally Open) + 1 NC (Normally Closed) | | **Switching Principle** | Snap-action or Slow-action contacts | | **Max Voltage** | 240V AC / 24V DC (Typical) | | **Thermal Current ($I_{th}$)** | 10A | | **Enclosure Material** | Metal (Die-cast Aluminum) | | **Protection Class** | IP65 / IP67 (Dust tight and water resistant) | | **Actuator Type** | Roller Lever / Adjustable Arm (Depending on suffix) | --- ### 2. Internal Electronic Components The "electronic" nature of this part is primarily electromechanical. It consists of: * **Contact Block:** High-quality silver or gold-plated contacts designed to break or make an electrical circuit upon physical actuation. * **Galvanic Isolation:** The NO and NC contacts are typically electrically isolated from each other (Zb contact form), allowing them to control two different circuits (e.g., a PLC input and a safety motor starter). * **Terminal Screws:** Internal wiring points designed for M3 or M3.5 screws, often with self-lifting clamps for easy installation. --- ### 3. Application and Usage This part is used to convert mechanical motion into an electrical control signal. Common use cases include: 1. **Safety Interlocking:** Ensuring a machine guard is closed before the motor can start. 2. **End-of-Travel Sensing:** Stopping a conveyor belt or CNC axis when it reaches its maximum physical limit. 3. **Object Detection:** Counting items on a production line as they depress the actuator. --- ### 4. Connection Diagram Example The wiring for a standard 1NO/1NC configuration usually follows this logic: ```text Terminal 11-12: NC (Normally Closed) -> Used for Safety/Stop Terminal 23-24: NO (Normally Open) -> Used for Signaling/Start ```
