Siemens 3SE5212-0RV40 Safety Position Switch Datasheet

Product Overview

The Siemens 3SE5212-0RV40 is a safety position switch designed for industrial applications. It features a metal enclosure with a 31 mm profile, an M20x1.5 cable entry, and an EN 50047 compliant head made of plastic. The switch is equipped with slow-action contacts, including 1 normally open (NO) and 1 normally closed (NC) contact. It supports approaches from 5 directions. The matching separate actuator, such as the 3SE5000-0AV0 or 3SE5000-0AW0, must be ordered separately.

Diagram Descriptions

Dimensional Drawing

Dimensional drawing of the Siemens 3SE5212-0RV40 safety position switch. The drawing shows three views (front, side, top). Key dimensions are labeled: overall height approximately 50 mm, width 31 mm, depth 33 mm. A central mounting hole with M20x1.5 thread is shown. Other dimensions include 25 mm, 12.5 mm, 20.6 mm, 22 mm, 15 mm, and mounting hole spacing indicated as 4x7 mm.

Actuation Force Characteristics

Actuation force characteristics: A graphical representation illustrates the relationship between actuation force and travel distance. The vertical axis represents force from 0 to 30 Newtons (N). The horizontal axis indicates actuation points labeled '13-14' and '21-22', with associated travel distances in millimeters (mm). For contact pair 21-22, a force of 2.5 N is applied at travel distances of 1.7 mm, 2.4 mm, and 2.5 mm. For contact pair 13-14, a force of 2.5 N is applied at a travel distance of 1.7 mm.
