Roller Microswitch 1NO 1NC 15 Amp IP55 AM-1704 Auspicious

The Auspicious AM-1704 is a Roller Microswitch with a roller lever actuator, used to detect a moving part and switch a circuit the moment it arrives. The roller sits at the tip of a hinged lever, so a passing cam or dog rolls across it instead of scraping, which keeps the trip point consistent over long cycle counts.

Three terminals give common, normally open and normally closed in one compact body, so the same switch provides a position signal and an interlock without a second device. At 15A on 125 or 250V AC it carries a quarter horsepower motor directly, which covers small actuators and auxiliary drives without a contactor in between. IP55 protection suits general machine and workshop conditions.

• 1/4 HP motor switching at 250V AC

• Fine operating speed range from 0.01mm to 1m per second

• IP55 protection against dust and low pressure water

• CE marked and manufactured in Taiwan

Technical Specifications

Common Applications

Cam sequencing on machine tools, door and guard position detection, end of travel stops, vending and dispensing mechanisms, jig and fixture confirmation, small actuator switching without a contactor, and conveyor stop positions.

Related Micro and Limit Switches

Same 15A rating, different actuator: the roller plunger micro switch AM-1308 takes a straight push from above rather than a side sweep.

For sealed or heavier duty, the lever limit switch AZ-7120 is a side mount option, the spring limit switch AZ-8166 flexes under overrun, and the big wheel limit switch AZ-5108L is IP67 for lifts and cranes.

FAQ,s

What is a Roller Microswitch?

A compact switch with a roller on a hinged lever. When a moving part presses the roller, the internal contacts change over and signal the controller.

Why a roller instead of a plain lever tip?

The roller turns as the cam passes, so it does not scrape. That keeps friction low and the trip point repeatable over thousands of cycles.

What do the 3 terminals do?

Common, normally open and normally closed. You wire the common plus whichever contact your circuit needs, or use both for a signal and an interlock.

Can it switch a small motor directly?

Yes, up to a quarter horsepower at 250V AC. Anything larger should run through a contactor.

Is IP55 enough for my machine?

IP55 covers dust and low pressure water, which suits most indoor workshop conditions. For coolant or washdown areas choose an IP65 or IP67 model.
