VS2 series Mechanical Vibration Switch
The VS2 series switches are shock-sensitive mechanisms for shutdown of engine or electric motor powered equipment. It is designed to detect shock/ vibration in three planes of motion.
Ideal for use on engines, pumps, compressors, heat exchangers and pumping units, the VS2 series can be used where shut-down protection from damaging shock/vibration is desired. Switches are field adjustable to the sensitivity required in each application.
These fully adjustable switches use a magnetic latch to ensure reliable operation.
Explosion-proof EX models for hazardous locations are available.
