Description
The Murphy shock and vibration switches are available in a variety of
models for applications on machinery or equipment where excessive
vibration or shock can damage the equipment or otherwise poses a
threat to safe operation. A set of contacts is held in a latched position
through a mechanical latch and magnet mechanism. As the level of
vibration or shock increases an inertia mass exerts force against the
latch arm and forces it away from the magnetic latch causing the latch
arm to operate the contacts. Sensitivity is obtained by adjusting the
amount of the air gap between the magnet and the latch arm plate.
Applications include all types of rotating or reciprocating machinery
such as cooling fans, engines, pumps, compressors, pump jacks, etc.
