Description
The Murphy shock and vibration switches are available in a variety of models for applications on machinery or
equipment where excessive vibration or shock can damage the equipment or otherwise poses a threat to safe
operation. A set of contacts is held in a latched position through a mechanical latch and magnet mechanism.
As the level of vibration or shock increases an inertia mass exerts force against the latch arm and forces it away
from the magnetic latch causing the latch arm to operate the contacts. Sensitivity is obtained by adjusting the gap
between the magnet and the latch arm plate.
Applications include all types of rotating or reciprocating machinery such as cooling fans, engines, pumps,
compressors, pump jacks etc.
Warranty
A two year limited warranty on materials and workmanship is provided with this Murphy product. Details are
