Eaton E50KL220 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What kind of limit switch does the Eaton E50KL220 rod operator mount on?
The E50 adjustable rod operator is an actuator head for side rotary limit switches in the Eaton E50 Heavy Duty Plug In series. It is the operating head only, not a complete switch, so you still need the side rotary limit switch body it plugs onto. If your switch is a plunger or lever-arm style rather than side rotary, this head is the wrong part.
2) What is the difference between Eaton E50KL220 and E50KL226 rod operators?
Two rod styles are offered. E50KL220 is the stainless rod and E50KL226 is the bendable rod. Use the bendable version when you need to form the rod around guarding or approach the target from an offset angle; use the stainless straight rod for a fixed, repeatable trip point. Both are adjustable-rod heads for side rotary E50 switches.
3) Can an Eaton E50 rod limit switch operator be used outdoors or in a washdown area?
Yes. The E50 rod operator carries NEMA 1, 3, 3S, 4, 4X, 6, 6P and 13 ratings plus IP67, which covers wet, dusty, hosedown and temporary-submersion locations. The 4X rating is the one that matters for corrosive or washdown duty in food plants and outdoor equipment.
4) What ambient temperature range is the Eaton E50 adjustable rod operator rated for?
Rated from 10 degrees F up to 200 degrees F. That covers hot process areas and ovens' surroundings on the high end, but 10 F is the floor, so unheated outdoor or freezer applications below that are outside the rating.
5) Is the Eaton E50 rod operator UL Listed and RoHS compliant for a spec job?
Both. The E50 adjustable rod operator is UL Listed and RoHS Compliant, which is what most machine-safety and panel specifications call for on sensing accessories.
6) Can the trip point on the E50 rod operator be set in the field?
Yes, the rod is adjustable, so you set rod length and the trip position at the machine instead of ordering a fixed arm length. That is the reason to choose a rod head over a fixed lever when the target position is not final until commissioning.
7) How much room does the E50 rod operator head take up on the switch?
The operator body measures 1.12 in wide and .38 in high, so it adds very little bulk at the switch. Plan clearance for the rod travel itself, which is the part that sweeps when the target contacts it.
8) Is the E50 rod limit switch operator metal or plastic?
Steel construction, with the straight-rod version using a stainless rod. That holds up to repeated contact from conveyor product, carriages and machine guards better than a molded head in plant-floor duty.
