Washex Unbalance Switch, Washer-Extractor Safety – 353303

The 353303 Washex Unbalance Switch (3A096) is a protective electrical safety switch used in Washex washer-extractors to detect excessive cylinder imbalance during the extraction cycle. When out-of-balance conditions exceed preset limits, the switch interrupts the control circuit to stop or reduce machine operation, preventing structural stress, bearing damage, and potential equipment failure.

This unbalance switch is mounted within the suspension or frame assembly where movement can be mechanically sensed. Proper switch calibration and secure mounting are essential to maintain safe extraction speeds and protect the drive system.

Maintenance Tip: Verify switch actuation and wiring integrity during routine vibration or suspension inspections.
