VS94 Shock & Vibration Control Switch (20700063)

VS94 Shock & Vibration Control Switch in a NEMA 4/4X glass filled polyester enclosure (20700063)

VS94 Series is an electro-mechanical device designed to protect equipment from damaging shock or vibration. This sensitive mechanism can detect excessive shock or vibration and shut down the equipment before further damage occurs. A set of contacts is held in a latched position through a magnetic latch mechanism. As the level of shock or vibration increases, an inertia mass exerts force against the latch arm and forces it away from the magnetic latch causing the latch arm to separate and to operate the contacts. Sensitivity is obtained by adjusting the amount of air gap between the magnet and latch arm plate.

The VS94 Series is housed in a NEMA 4/4X glass-filled polyester enclosure and has a base mount. It is for applications in non-hazardous locations.

VS94 models are rated up to 480 VAC. (See How to Order for models and options available.)

Applications for the VS94 include all stationary types of machinery or equipment where excessive shock/vibration can be damaging or poses a threat to normal operations in:

• Cooling fans
• Pump jacks
• Pumps
• Engines
• Compressors
• Rotating and Reciprocating Machinery
