80153-208-01-R Allen-Bradley Heavy-Duty Limit Switch Handle

Allen-Bradley 80153-208-01-R 1500 Series Red & Black Handle Assembly

Product Overview

The Allen-Bradley 80153-208-01-R (80153-208-01-R) is a heavy-duty mechanical handle and limit switch operator assembly designed for the 1500 series and related industrial control hardware. This specific variant, characterized by its distinctive Red and Black handle, is engineered for high-visibility and tactile reliability in demanding motion-sensing applications. As part of the 80153 heavy-duty family, it serves as the physical interface between machinery movement and electrical logic, providing precise position sensing, travel endpoint detection, and safety interlock functionality. Its rugged construction ensures deterministic performance in environments where vibration, oil, and dust are prevalent.

Operational Integrity and Build Quality

The 80153-208-01-R (80153-208-01-R) is designed to withstand the physical impact of machine travel in heavy manufacturing environments. The die-cast housing provides the structural rigidity necessary for repeated mechanical actuation, while the internal switching mechanism utilizes double-break silver alloy contacts for high conductivity. The DPDT configuration allows for versatile wiring—enabling simultaneous signaling to a PLC and a local safety alarm or motor contactor. Its NEMA 4/13 rating ensures that the internal electrical components remain isolated from industrial contaminants like coolants and metal shavings.
