Allen Bradley 800T-FX6A5 30.5mm Red Mushroom Head Push-Pull Operator

Product Overview

The Allen Bradley 800T-FX6A5 functions as a heavy-duty, 2-position push-pull operator designed for demanding industrial control panels. Featuring a prominent red mushroom head, this non-illuminated metal unit provides high-visibility control and tactile certainty for operators. It utilizes a 30.5 mm mounting diameter and includes a standard "Normally Closed Late Break" (2 NCLB) contact block configuration. This specific model supports both push-pull and push-pull/twist-release functionality, making it a versatile choice for master stop or safety-related control circuits.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

• Extreme Durability: The 800T-FX6A5 utilizes a rugged die-cast metal housing that resists physical impacts and mechanical fatigue. This construction excels in heavy manufacturing environments where plastic alternatives frequently fail due to vibration or heavy-handed operation.

• Superior Environmental Sealing: The Type 4/13 rating ensures full protection against water, coolants, and oil. This allows for direct installation on machine tools and processing equipment subjected to frequent wash-downs or oil mist exposure.

• NCLB Safety Performance: The 2 Normally Closed Late Break (NCLB) contact blocks ensure a reliable break of the electrical circuit. This configuration provides an additional layer of reliability for critical stop circuits by ensuring the circuit opens only when the operator reaches the intended actuation depth.

• Intuitive Human Interface: The large red mushroom head allows for immediate identification and rapid actuation. Operators can trigger the device with a palm strike or grab-and-pull motion, ensuring quick response times during process interruptions.

• Secure Panel Mounting: The 30.5 mm mounting base fits standard industrial punch-outs. The heavy-duty locking nut prevents the operator from rotating or loosening under high-vibration conditions, maintaining the integrity of the control station interface.

FAQs

• Is this 800T-FX6A5 unit 100% Brand New?

  Yes. We supply this product as 100% Brand New in original factory-sealed packaging. We guarantee original Allen Bradley authenticity for all pilot devices.

• Can I change the contact blocks on this unit?

  Yes. The 800T series utilizes a modular design. You can stack or replace the existing 2 NCLB contact blocks with other standard 800T contact blocks to meet your specific circuit requirements.

• Does this model require a twist to release?

  The 800T-FX6A5 supports both push-pull and twist-release functionality. You can pull the mushroom head to release it, or twist it to achieve the same result, providing flexibility based on operator preference or local safety standards.

• What is the benefit of the "Late Break" (NCLB) contact?

  The Late Break feature ensures that the NC contact remains closed until the operator has nearly completed the stroke. This prevents "nuisance tripping" caused by accidental light contact or minor vibration while still ensuring a positive break during intentional actuation.
