Type 3776 Limit Switch

Application
Limit switch with inductive or electric limit contacts and
solenoid valve for attachment to linear actuators and rotary
actuators according to VDI/VDE 3845

The Type 3776 Limit Switch issues an electric signal when the

valve travel exceeds or falls below an adjusted limit. The sig-
nal is suitable for switching control signals, issuing visual and
audible alarms or for connection to central control or alarm
systems. An optional solenoid valve allows the monitored ac-
tuator also to be controlled.

Versions
Numerous different types of limit contacts, switching functions,
connection versions and mounting kits allow the Type 3776
Limit Switch to be optimally adapted for the specific task.

Principle of operation
Limit contacts
The limit switch is equipped with a maximum of three induc-
tive proximity switches, one double proximity switch or three
electric microswitches.
For most applications, the limit contacts are adjusted to issue a 3
signal when the actuator has reached one of its end positions.
The switching point can be adjusted to any position within the 4
opening angle or travel range to signalize intermediate posi-
tions (u EB 3776).
The limit switch's shaft is placed on the shaft trunnion of a ro-
1
tary actuator or connected to a linear actuator using a lever.
The shaft has a maximum of three metal tags or cam disks 2
and an indicator cap used to indicate the position of a rotary
1 Shaft
actuator. The indicator cap is not used for linear actuators as 2 Metal tag
the position is indicated at the actuator stem of these actua- 3 Inductive proximity switch
4 Adjustment screw
tors.
The limit switch with inductive proximity switches (Fig. 2) has
a maximum of three adjustable metal tags (2) on the shaft (1). Fig. 2: Inductive proximity switches
When the tag is inside the magnetic field of the proximity
switch (3), the proximity switch is attenuated and the output
has a high impedance (switching function “Contact open”).
When the tag (2) leaves the magnetic field, the proximity
switch (3) is unattenuated and the output has a low imped-
ance (switching function "Contact closed"). The tags can be
adjusted to a switching point between 0 and 180° at the ad-
justment screws (4).
The limit switch with inductive double proximity switch (Fig. 3) 3
is a cost-effective version for use with rotary actuators only. 1

The limit switch has an adjustable metal tag (2) on the shaft
(1). When the tag is inside the magnetic field of the proximity
switch (3), the proximity switch is attenuated and the output

has a high impedance (switching function “Contact open”). 2
When the tag (2) leaves the magnetic field, the proximity
switch (3) is unattenuated and the output has a low imped- 1 Shaft
ance (switching function "Contact closed"). The tag can be 2 Metal tag

The limit switch with electric microswitches (Fig. 4) has a max- Fig. 3: Inductive double proximity switch
imum of three adjustable cam disks (2) on the shaft (1). The
cam disk activates the electric microswitch (3) over the roller
on the switch lever (5). The cam disks can be adjusted to a

(4).

Solenoid valve
The limit switch can be fitted with an optional solenoid valve
to actuate the actuator. In this case, the binary signal issued
by electric control equipment is converted into a binary pres-
sure signal to open or close the control valve (Fig. 5 and
Fig. 6, see Fig. 7 on page 5 for logic symbols).
The solenoid valve consists of one or two solenoid pilot valves
and a booster valve actuated on one side or both sides. The
C
solenoid pilot valves are installed in the solenoid valve in a
protected space and the booster valve is directly mounted
onto the enclosure. Alternatively, an external Type 3756 5
Booster Valve G ¼ (¼ NPT) can be mounted to the actuator.
The pneumatic signal is connected over a connection block di-
rectly mounted onto the enclosure.
The limit switch with one solenoid pilot valve consists of an
electropneumatic binary converter (A) with manual override
(B) and a 3/2-way or 5/2-way booster valve (C) actuated on
one side with return spring. The air supply for the electropneu- A B
matic binary converter (A) is routed internally from the port A Electropneumatic binary converter
B Manual override (optional)
(9) through the pressure reducer (5) and the restrictor (6). C Booster valve
In the idle position, the flapper (2) is lifted off the outlet nozzle 5 Pressure reducer

(1) by the spring (3). As a result, a pressure lower than the

deactivation pressure of the booster valve (C) builds up in the Fig. 5: Solenoid valve
pressure divider, which consists of the restrictor (6) and outlet
nozzle (1). When the solenoid coil (4) is energized by an
electric binary signal, the outlet nozzle (1) is closed by the
flapper (2) against the force of the spring (3). This causes the
pressure in the pressure divider to rise above the activation
pressure of the booster valve, switching it to the operating po- B
sition. After the solenoid coil is de-energized, the booster
valve is switched to the idle position again by a return spring. 2
The limit switch with two pilot valves consists of two electro- A 3
pneumatic binary converters (A) with manual override (B) and
a 5/2-way booster valve (C) actuated on both sides with two 1
detent positions or a 5/3-way booster valve (C) with 4 4
spring-centered mid-position. The air supply for the electro-
pneumatic binary converter (A) is routed internally from the
ports (9) through the pressure reducers (5) and the restrictors
(6).
In the idle position, the flapper (2) is lifted off the outlet nozzle Nominal +81
signal
(1) by the spring (3). As a result, a pressure lower than the –82
switchover pressure of the booster valve (C) builds up in the
pressure divider, which consists of the restrictor (6) and outlet
nozzle (1). When the solenoid coil (4) is energized by an Supply air
electric binary signal, the outlet nozzle (1) is closed by the
9
flapper (2) against the force of the spring (3). This causes the 6 5
pressure in the pressure divider to rise above the switchover
pressure of the booster valve, switching it to the operating po-
sition. After the solenoid coil is de-energized, the operating
position of the detented booster valve is kept until the oppos- C
ing signal is received. The spring-centered booster valve is
switched over to the mid-position by return springs. A Electropneumatic binary converter
