Switches including Bowden cable actuation
Switches can be built both as 1-pole (phase conductor disconnection) and 2-pole (phase and neutral conductor disconnection) units to ensure compliance with the relevant power supply standards. As a matter of principle, high-quality products are used which meet the current requirements and which are well within the given nominal current boundaries as defined by the standard on appliance couplers.
Bowden cable for type KD/KG, CD/CGD/CG
The remote actuator cable assembly consists of a wire cable inside of a plastic insulated spiral wire casing. Identifying the proper routing of the cable assembly is important. Deviations from the line-to-line placement will require bends in the cable resulting in losses in the overall assembly. These inefficiencies show up as friction losses and lost motion. Frictional losses are increases in actuation force due to losses in the assembly. Lost motion is an undesirable difference between the input end of the assembly and the output end. The principal element of lost motion is backlash and deflection. Backlash is caused by the wire cable moving inside the casing with the change in direction of motion. It is the function of clearance between the wire cable and casing, plus the number of degrees of bend in the cable assembly. Deflection of the cable assembly, while usually low, can be minimized by anchoring the casing. This is especially true in those applications of cable assemblies with long lengths and/or large degrees of bend in the system All of these losses and resulting inefficiencies can be reduced by the equipment designer by minimizing the total degree of bend in the assembly. Because of the number of variables affecting the proper operation of any remotely actuated switch assembly, it is important that the ordering instructions be used to determine the proper cable length and to provide samples for customer approval.
Consult the figure for the minimum information required to describe the cable assembly application.
