SPEED RESPONSIVE SWITCH
EUCLID TYPE C/MEDIUM - HIGH SPEED/CENTRIFUGAL
General Information
Type C Speed Responsive switches assure maximum protection of material handling systems and rotating equipment. They pro- vide overspeed and underspeed protection with precise speed sensing and highly re- petitive accuracy. These switches have excellent repetitive accuracy and are basi- cally unaffected by temperature variations.

Application
Type C switch provide overspeed & under- speed protection and precise speed sensing with highly repetitive accuracy to indicate slipping or broken conveyor belts, preventing material pileups … prevent overspeed of motors, generators, fans & pumps … control starting of diesel engines … prevent damage to rotating industrial machinery when speeds increase or decrease from safe values … for plugging applications to assure quick & safe stops … sequential control of functions at specific speeds.
NEMA TYPE 7, 9 OR 10 ENCLOSURE
Description
Housing & Enclosures - Standard Type C
centrifugal switch housings are molded of tough fiberglass reinforced polyester resin, for the flyweight compartment and a cast aluminum housing for the contact compart- ment. The standard molded housings are resistant to most acid, alkali and salt com- pounds.
When flange mounting is specified, the flange and the flyweight section of the housing are precisely machined from a single aluminum casting.
Adaptation can be provided to meet special mounting requirements.
NEMA Type 3/13 enclosures are supplied for indoor/outdoor industrial applications.
NEMA Type 4 enclosure
NEMA Type 7, 9 and 10 explosion proof enclosures are available also. These enclo- sures have accurately machined cast alumi- num housings, either surface mounted or flange mounted. The NEMA Type 7 and 9 housings are designed in accordance with specifications for switches in Class 1 Group C or D and Class 2 Groups E, F and G haz- ardous locations. NEMA Type 10 enclosures have been certified by the Bureau of Mines as meeting the requirements of Schedule 2G for
switches. Use this reference when specifying Euclid.
Flyweight System - The flyweight and link- age system (mounted in a separate com- partment from the contacts) is completely suspended on the 3/4" square part of the stainless steel shaft by 8 bearings. The bearing suspension of the flyweight and link- age system provides a very
