Eaton AFUX0333 60 Conveyor Belt Switch - Explosionproof

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.
