Telemecanique ZCY17 Limit Switch Lever for XC Standard Limit Switches

The ZCY17 is a limit switch lever from the Telemecanique XC Standard range, designed as a replacement or spare operating head for compatible XC Standard switch bodies. It features a steel ball bearing mounted roller with spring return and rotary movement, actuated by lateral approach via a 30° cam. Positive opening is included, and the lever mounts via associated heads ZCE05 or ZCE01.

Features and benefits:

• Ball bearing mounted roller construction is specified for this lever, supporting repeated cam-following cycles.
• Spring return action resets the lever to its neutral position automatically when the actuating force is removed.
• Positive opening contacts provide a direct mechanical break of the circuit, as required in safety-oriented machine control applications.
• Operating temperature range of -25...70 °C covers cold storage facilities and warm industrial production environments.
• Compatible with four XC Standard switch body types, simplifying spare parts management across mixed installations.

Applications:

• End-of-travel detection on slides and linear axes in machine tools where lateral cam actuation is used.
• Position sensing on conveyor systems requiring a roller lever with spring return.
• Machine guarding and interlock circuits where positive opening contacts are specified.
• Automated assembly equipment using rotary cam actuation at defined positions along a travel path.
