Frequently asked questions
Common questions about Robertshaw from 3G Electric.
What is the Robertshaw 6000-107 mechanical vibration sensor switch used for?
The Robertshaw 6000-107 is a mechanical vibration sensor switch with a DPDT contact form rated 7 A at 460 V AC. It features remote electrical reset and is rated for hazardous locations. It is used for industrial vibration monitoring to detect excessive vibration in machinery and equipment, providing a contact closure for alarm or shutdown circuits. The switch has overall dimensions of 3.75 in depth, 5.38 in width, and 3.06 in height. It is suitable for applications where mechanical vibration indicates a fault condition, such as in pumps, fans, or compressors. The remote reset allows the switch to be reset from a distance after a trip condition.
What are the specifications of Robertshaw electric cooking limit controls?
Robertshaw electric cooking limit controls are available in various configurations. They operate at voltages including 120 V AC, 240 V AC, and 250 V AC. Stem lengths range from 1/4 in to 1 1/8 in, and capillary lengths can be up to 30 in. Dial types include fixed and adjustable, with temperature ranges such as 100 to 450 or 440°F. These controls are used in commercial cooking equipment like ovens, fryers, and griddles to regulate temperature and provide overheat protection. Specific models include the 66004-AF80, 66004-AF63, 5225-112, 5225-054, 66004-AF71, and 5502-307M. Each model is designed for specific OEM applications, such as Whirlpool, GE, Electrolux, or Nemco.
What is the Robertshaw Unitrol button and where is it used?
The Robertshaw Unitrol button, SKU BLO10318, is a component used in gas control systems. Unitrol is a line of gas controls that includes valves, regulators, and operators for gas-fired appliances. The button is a replacement part for Unitrol gas control assemblies. It is used in applications such as commercial cooking equipment, heating systems, and industrial gas burners. The Unitrol button is typically part of a larger gas control valve or regulator, and its replacement can restore function to a gas control that is otherwise in good condition. 3G Electric supplies this part as a standalone item for maintenance and repair.
How do I select the correct Robertshaw electric cooking limit control for my equipment?
To select the correct Robertshaw electric cooking limit control, identify the OEM equipment manufacturer and model, then match the Robertshaw part number. Key specifications to verify include voltage rating (120 V AC, 240 V AC, or 250 V AC), stem length (e.g., 1/4 in, 1/2 in, 3/4 in, 7/8 in, 1 in, 1 1/8 in), capillary length (e.g., 30 in), dial type (fixed or adjustable), and temperature range. The part number often indicates the OEM application, such as 66004 for Whirlpool, GE, or Electrolux, and 5502 for Nemco. Cross-reference the existing control's markings with the Robertshaw catalog. 3G Electric provides detailed specifications for each SKU to assist in matching.
Are Robertshaw controls rated for hazardous locations?
Some Robertshaw controls are rated for hazardous locations. For example, the Robertshaw 6000-107 mechanical vibration sensor switch is rated for hazardous locations, making it suitable for use in environments where flammable gases or vapors may be present. This rating is important for industrial applications such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and other areas where explosion-proof equipment is required. Not all Robertshaw controls carry this rating; it is specific to certain models. Always verify the individual product specifications for hazardous location ratings. 3G Electric lists this information in the product details for applicable SKUs.
What is the difference between Robertshaw 66004 and 5225 series limit controls?
The Robertshaw 66004 and 5225 series are both electric cooking limit controls, but they differ in specifications and OEM applications. The 66004 series includes models like 66004-AF80, 66004-AF63, and 66004-AF71, which are rated for 240 V AC and have stem lengths of 1 in, 1/2 in, and 3/4 in respectively. They are designed for Whirlpool, GE, and Electrolux applications. The 5225 series includes models like 5225-112 and 5225-054, rated for 250 V AC, with dial ranges such as 100 to 450 and stem lengths of 1/4 in and 7/8 in, and a 30 in capillary. The 5225 series often includes a capillary for remote sensing, while the 66004 series may not. Always match the specific part number to the equipment.
