CHINT Travel Switch YBLX - 10/12

Detailed Introduction to CHINT Travel Switch YBLX - 10/12:

- **Product Overview**

    - **Series**: YBLX - 10 series travel switch.

    - **Applications**: It is suitable for electrical control circuits with an alternating current of 50Hz or 60Hz and a voltage of 380V, and a direct current voltage of 220V. It can be used as a terminal protection and travel control switch for various cranes and metallurgical equipment.

- **Working Principle**

The travel switch makes direct contact with the moving target through mechanical components such as rollers, levers, and plungers to push the internal contacts to act. In the default state, the normally open contacts are open, and the normally closed contacts are closed. After being triggered, the normally open contacts close, and the normally closed contacts open, thus changing the circuit state. When the target leaves, the switch automatically returns to its initial state through a spring.

- **Product Features**

    - **High Reliability**: Made of high - quality materials and with strict production processes, it ensures stable and reliable performance in long - term use.

    - **Wide Applicability**: Suitable for various industrial automation equipment such as machine tools, robots, production lines, automotive manufacturing, and elevators.

    - **Prevent Children from Contacting**: It is strictly forbidden for children to play with the product or its packaging.

The service life of CHINT travel switch YBLX - 10/12 usually includes indicators such as mechanical life and electrical life. At present, there is no public official unified standard to clarify the specific mechanical life and electrical life values of this model.

However, from some relevant information and the situation of similar products:

- Some data show that the service life of some products in its YBLX - 10 series is 50,000 times (without clearly distinguishing between mechanical life and electrical life).

- The mechanical life of general travel switches is about 100,000 times, but different series and models will vary. The mechanical life of CHINT YBLX - WL series travel switches is as high as 4.3 million times, and the electrical life is 300,000 times. However, YBLX - 10/12 is not in this series and cannot be directly applied.

On the whole, under normal use conditions, the mechanical life of CHINT travel switch YBLX - 10/12 may be about 100,000 times or more (referring to general travel switches and part of the product information of this series). There is no exact reference data for the electrical life, but it is speculated that it may be lower than the mechanical life according to the situation that the electrical life of some similar products is relatively lower than the mechanical life. At the same time, the actual service life will also be affected by factors such as the use environment (such as temperature, humidity, dust, etc.), operation frequency, and load conditions. If the use environment is harsh, the operation frequency is high, or the load is too large, etc., it will shorten its service life.

In addition, there is also unofficial information mentioning that the service life of this series of products is about 3 years for reference, but this is not a life index strictly based on the number of mechanical or electrical actions, but only a rough comprehensive service duration reference concept.
