Plunger Limit Switch Side Mount 1NO 1NC 10 Amp AZ-7310 Auspicious

The Auspicious AZ-7310 is a plunger limit switch with a push type actuator in a compact side mount body. A moving part presses straight down onto the plunger, the contacts change over, and the control circuit gets a clean position signal. No lever, no roller, nothing sticking out to catch or bend.

That simplicity is the reason to choose a plunger. With fewer moving parts there is less to wear and less to go out of adjustment, so the trip point stays exactly where you set it. On jigs, fixtures and door frames where the moving part arrives straight on and in the same place every time, a plunger is both cheaper and more repeatable than a lever type.

Rated 10A at 250V AC, it carries twice the current of a typical 5A mini switch, so it can switch control circuits directly rather than only feeding a signal. The 0.5A 125V DC rating covers PLC inputs. The oil tight and waterproof body suits machine tools with coolant, workshop floors and equipment exposed to moisture. Side mounting lets it sit flat against a frame or bracket where a front facing switch would not fit.

Key Features

• 10A 250VAC rating for direct control circuit switching

• 0.5A 125VDC rating for PLC and DC signal inputs

• Fine operating speed range from 0.01mm to 50cm per second

• Oil tight and waterproof construction, CE marked

Common Applications

Door and guard closed confirmation, jig and fixture position checking, end of travel stops on short linear movement, press and slide position detection, tool changer and clamp position sensing, packaging machine sequencing, and any point where the moving part comes straight onto the switch in a repeatable position.

Choosing the Right Limit Switch Actuator

The actuator has to match how the moving part arrives, and that is the only question worth asking first. A plunger wants a straight, square approach onto the switch face. Where the part comes from the side or at an angle, a lever reaches out to meet it: the lever limit switch AZ-7120 shares this same side mount body and 10A rating.

If a cam slides across the actuator repeatedly, a roller saves it from wearing down. The roller plunger limit switch AM-1308 puts a roller on the top plunger at 15A, the adjustable roller lever limit switch AZ-8108 adds a settable lever length, and the cross roller plunger limit switch ME-8122 accepts a push from more than one direction.

For long reach onto an irregular target, use the adjustable rod limit switch AZ-8107. Where an overrun could snap a rigid actuator, the spring limit switch AZ-8166 flexes and returns. For lifts, cranes and outdoor plant that need a wider catch and full IP67 sealing, step up to the big wheel limit switch AZ-5108L or the 10A adjustable roller lever limit switch AZ-5108.

FAQ,s

What is a plunger limit switch?

It is a limit switch operated by a push rod rather than a lever or roller. The moving part presses the plunger straight down, which operates the contacts inside and signals the controller.

When should I use a plunger instead of a lever?

Use a plunger when the moving part arrives straight on and in the same position every time. Use a lever when the approach is from the side, varies in position, or the target sits away from the switch.

What does 1NO 1NC mean?

One normally open and one normally closed contact. When the plunger is pressed, the NO closes and the NC opens, so you get a position signal and an interlock from one device.

Can this switch connect directly to a PLC?

Yes. The 0.5A 125VDC rating covers standard 24V DC PLC inputs, and the 10A 250VAC rating allows direct switching of AC control circuits.

Is the AZ-7310 suitable for oily or wet areas?

 The body is oil tight and waterproof, so it handles machine tools with coolant and damp workshop conditions.

What does side mount mean?

The switch fixes flat against a surface on its side, so it can sit along a frame or bracket and take the push from the moving part at the correct height.
