Eaton Specification Sheet - AFUX0333 60
Electrical rating and contact configuration enable direct integration with standard conveyor motor circuits, reducing the need for external relays. Two normally open and two normally closed contacts support complex start-stop logic for interlocks and safety circuits, while a 15A, 600 Vac rating ensures compatibility with common drive electronics. In practice, this translates to fewer wiring errors, quicker panel assembly, and improved relay life because the control switch handles the belt stopping action reliably under vibration and dust. Hazardous-location ratings and NEC/CEC compliance give buyers confidence that the switch can operate safely in classified environments. The AFUX0333 60 carries Area Classification for Hazardous/Classified Locations and a NEC hazardous rating covering Class I and II, Division 1 and 2, plus Class III. Coupled with a NEMA 3/7/9 enclosure, this reduces the need for enclosure retrofits and supports global operations. Mechanical design emphasizes ease of installation and serviceability. The AFUX0333 60 ships with a single end left mounting option and three 1-inch hubs, enabling wiring from multiple directions and simplifying panel layout. The 25 lb body without the switch supports easier handling during retrofit, while the 50 lb total operating force ensures positive actuation with protective guard. This design supports reliability in vibration-prone environments and simplifies maintenance planning for plant engineering teams. Feraloy iron alloy construction delivers robust enclosure protection against impact, abrasion, and corrosion in harsh facilities.

FAQs
AFUX0333 60 supports single end left mounting and three 1" hubs, allowing entry from multiple directions. Its 25 lb body (without switch) and 23 lb with switch facilitate handling during retrofit. Wire it directly to 600 Vac drives with 15A capacity and connect the two normally open and two normally closed contacts to your stop/start logic. Consult the installation sheets in IF 493 series for detailed wiring diagrams, guaranteeing alignment with your plant’s control philosophy.
The device is rated for 15A at 600 Vac, with two normally open and two normally closed contacts. A total operating force of 50 lb (25 lb without the switch) ensures decisive actuation, even in high-vibration environments. These specs enable direct integration into typical conveyor drive circuits, reducing external relays and potential points of failure while maintaining strong interlock performance in hazardous locations.
Yes. The AFUX0333 60 is designed for hazardous-location use with NEC/CEC compliance and area classifications suitable for Class I, II, and III environments. Its NEMA 3/7/9 enclosure supports outdoor and harsh indoor conditions, making it suitable for mining, chemical, and refinery conveyor applications where reliable stop/start interlocks are critical for safety and uptime.
This model features NEC/CEC compliance, NEC hazardous ratings (Class I, Division 1; Class I, Division 2; Class II, Division 1; Class II, Division 2; Class III), and a NEMA enclosure rating of 3/7/9. The hazardous-location certification and area classification ensure regulatory readiness and smoother audits across multinational facilities, while the included UL installation guidance supports compliant field wiring.
By simplifying wiring with three hubs and a robust 15A/600 Vac rating, maintenance cycles shorten and downtime is reduced. Explosionproof construction and solid actuation under vibration help extend service life, lowering replacement and labor costs. The device also eases retrofit projects and ensures long-term compliance, contributing to a favorable total cost of ownership in harsh industrial settings.
