Choosing the right limit switch for an industrial control setup usually comes down to three things: how the actuator will be tripped, whether the enclosure can handle the dirt and oil around it, and how many contacts the circuit needs. The Allen-Bradley 802T-AP is a specific answer in the Bulletin 802T family, sold new in the factory box for USD 134.00 by CPS Carolina Process Solutions.
Quick verdict
The 802T-AP is a clean choice for a well-defined control need, and the price is straightforward: USD 134.00.
Who it suits
The 802T-AP fits maintenance and controls professionals installing or replacing limit switches in panels, conveyance lines, and electrical wiring applications. The lever actuator works naturally where a cam or mechanical arm trips the switch at a set point. The two-circuit N.O./N.C. output gives you both normally open and normally closed signals from the same unit.
What stands out
- NEMA Type 4 and 13 oiltight construction means the switch is built for oiltight applications.
- The unit comes new in the factory box from CPS Carolina Process Solutions.
Meaningful trade-offs
The 802T-AP has two circuits, so a more complex interlock that needs additional contact sets will require another switch. The lever actuator is the version at hand, so a different actuator style would mean a different unit. CPS Carolina Process Solutions sells surplus and used parts, is not an authorized Rockwell Automation distributor, and the manufacturer's warranty does not apply. That gives you a clear picture of the source before you buy.
802T-AP Allen-Bradley BULLETIN 802T Limit Switch
This unit comes from CPS Carolina Process Solutions. It features NEMA Type 4 and 13 oiltight construction, making it a strong fit for industrial panels and conveyance equipment. The concrete reason to choose it is the oiltight protection plus the Allen-Bradley Bulletin 802T form factor. The main limitation is that the source is a surplus- and used-parts seller, so the new-in-box status is the condition to rely on.
Bottom line
The Allen-Bradley 802T-AP is a solid pick for anyone who needs a specific, no-frills limit switch in the Bulletin 802T family. Just weigh the trade-offs above before ordering.
