The Omron VB-3211 is a heavy-duty multiple limit switch designed for machines requiring multiple actuation points within a compact housing. It features three roller plungers for simultaneous or independent detection, each fitted with a 6.8 mm diameter roller for smooth contact with moving parts. The unit supports side cable entry and flange mounting for easy panel or surface installation.
Rated for 10 A at 250 VAC (resistive load), it offers a mechanical durability of 5 million operations and an electrical life of 300,000 cycles. It operates reliably at speeds from 0.1 mm/s to 0.5 m/s and withstands vibration (10–55 Hz, 1.5 mm double amplitude) and shock up to 1,000 m/s². With a sealed IP67 housing and wide operating range from –10°C to 80°C, the VB-3211 is suited for industrial equipment like conveyors, presses, and indexing machines where multi-point limit sensing is essential.
