The Schlegel Elektrokontakt RKUV40 is a precision-engineered industrial pushbutton switch designed for high-reliability applications in harsh environments. This 40mm switch features a durable yellow bezel with a bright red actuator for clear visual identification, ensuring operators can quickly and accurately engage the switch even in low-light or high-stress conditions. The switch complies with EN 60947-5-1 standards, guaranteeing safety and performance in industrial control systems. Key specifications include a 16.2mm panel cutout, 3mm travel, and a front bezel height of 12mm. The RKUV40 offers a twist-release mechanism (right or left) for secure mounting and easy adjustment, with a degree of protection rated at IP65/IP67 on the front and IP65 on the rear. This makes it suitable for use in wet, dusty, or corrosive environments where moisture and particulate ingress could compromise performance. The switch is designed for applications such as machinery control, automation systems, process equipment, and industrial control panels. It supports a maximum switching capacity of 240V AC / 1.5A or 24V DC / 2A, making it compatible with a wide range of control circuits. The RKUV40 is manufactured in Germany by Schlegel Elektrokontakt, a trusted name in industrial electrical components, ensuring long-term reliability and compliance with international safety standards. For installations requiring robust, tamper-resistant switches, the RKUV40’s twist-release mechanism prevents accidental activation, enhancing operational safety. The absence of illumination simplifies the design while reducing power consumption, making it ideal for applications where energy efficiency is a priority. With its compact footprint and high ingress protection, the RKUV40 is a versatile choice for modern industrial control systems.
