BENEDICT GMBH

Benedict GmbH is an Austria-based manufacturer of electromechanical switching devices, with a product portfolio centered on cam switches, disconnect switches, and related control components for industrial machinery and power distribution. The company's cam switches are used to manually open, close, or change the configuration of electrical circuits in control panels, motor starters, and distribution boards. These devices are typically selected for their mechanical durability, positive opening operation, and ability to handle repetitive switching cycles in demanding environments. 3G Electric supplies Benedict GmbH cam switches and disconnect switches to industrial buyers worldwide, with multiple SKUs available from stock or through logistics support. The product range includes maintained-action and momentary-action cam switches, as well as three-phase and multi-pole configurations. Voltage ratings commonly reach 600V, and current ratings span from 22A up to 135A in the supplied examples. Many models carry CB, CCA, CE, cULus, and EAC approvals, indicating compliance with European and North American standards. The switches are designed for panel mounting, with compact dimensions such as 64 mm width and height and 20 mm depth for certain models. Typical applications include motor control, power distribution, machinery isolation, and voltage monitoring in industrial settings. 3G Electric supports the Benedict line by providing access to a range of part numbers, including those with specific contact arrangements and handle types. Buyers can compare specifications such as action type, number of poles, and current rating to match the switch to their circuit requirements. The distributor also offers logistics coordination for global delivery, helping maintenance and procurement teams source replacement or new-installation components without regional restrictions. For technical buyers, Benedict cam switches offer a combination of standard compliance, mechanical robustness, and configuration flexibility. The maintained-action versions hold their contact state until manually changed, making them suitable for continuous operation or isolation duties. Momentary-action versions return to their original state when released, which is useful for jogging or test functions. Three-phase models are available for direct switching of three-phase loads or for use in monitoring circuits. The switches are built to withstand industrial environments, with housing materials and contact systems designed for reliable performance over many operations. 3G Electric's catalog includes specific Benedict part numbers such as N33F E W3+G2, N33F E WU3R2+G2, N200 E ST41+G2, M10H Z A3+003+G2, M20 Z W3+G2, M10H Z A1+003+G2, M10H E V32+504+G2, and N20 E ST041+G2. These represent a cross-section of the available configurations, from 22A to 135A and from single-pole to three-pole designs. The distributor provides specification data, including action, voltage rating, phase, and standards, to assist with selection. For procurement specialists, 3G Electric offers a single point of contact for multiple Benedict SKUs, reducing the need to manage several suppliers. The combination of Benedict's manufacturing background and 3G Electric's distribution reach allows plant engineers and maintenance managers to specify and obtain these switches for new projects, upgrades, or spares. The focus is on providing accurate product information and reliable order fulfillment, without unnecessary marketing claims. This approach aligns with the technical nature of the products and the expectations of industrial buyers who require verifiable specifications and consistent supply.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about BENEDICT GMBH from 3G Electric.

What are the key differences between Benedict GmbH maintained-action and momentary-action cam switches?

Benedict GmbH cam switches are available in two action types: maintained and momentary. Maintained-action switches, such as the N33F E W3+G2 and N200 E ST41+G2, hold their contact position after the actuator is released, making them suitable for continuous operation, motor control, and isolation. Momentary-action switches, like the N33F E WU3R2+G2, return to their original state when the actuator is released, which is useful for jogging, testing, or temporary circuit engagement. Both types are rated for 600V and various current ratings, and they share similar mounting dimensions and compliance standards. The choice depends on whether the application requires a stable, latched state or a spring-return action.

What current and voltage ratings are available in the Benedict GmbH cam switch range from 3G Electric?

The Benedict GmbH cam switches supplied by 3G Electric include models rated for 600V with current ratings of 22A, 30A, and 135A. For example, the M20 Z W3+G2 is rated 22A, the N33F E W3+G2 and N33F E WU3R2+G2 are rated 30A, and the N200 E ST41+G2 is rated 135A. These ratings cover a range of industrial control and distribution applications. Voltage ratings are consistently 600V across the examples, which is a common maximum for many industrial control circuits. Buyers should verify that the selected switch meets the specific current and voltage requirements of their circuit, including any derating factors for continuous operation or grouping.

Are Benedict GmbH cam switches compliant with international standards?

Yes, many Benedict GmbH cam switches carry multiple international approvals. For instance, the N33F E W3+G2 is listed with CB, CCA, CE, cULus, and EAC standards. These certifications indicate conformity with European (CE), North American (cULus), and Eurasian (EAC) requirements, among others. Compliance with these standards is important for global installations, as it ensures the switches meet safety and performance criteria recognized in different regions. Buyers should always confirm that the specific part number they select carries the required approvals for their project location and applicable codes. 3G Electric provides standard compliance information for each SKU to assist with verification.

Can Benedict GmbH cam switches be used for three-phase motor control?

Benedict GmbH offers three-phase cam switches designed for motor control and other three-phase applications. Examples include the M10H Z A3+003+G2, M10H Z A1+003+G2, M10H E V32+504+G2, and N20 E ST041+G2, all rated for 600V and featuring maintained action. These switches can be used to control the supply to three-phase motors, either directly for smaller motors or as pilot devices for contactors in larger motor starters. They are also suitable for isolation and changeover functions in three-phase circuits. When selecting a switch for motor control, consider the motor's full-load current, starting current, and the required switching category. The cam switch must be rated for the application's voltage and current, and may require additional overload protection.

What are the physical dimensions and mounting options for Benedict GmbH cam switches?

Benedict GmbH cam switches are designed for panel mounting, with compact dimensions to fit standard control panels. For example, the N33F E W3+G2 has a width of 64 mm, height of 64 mm, and depth of 20 mm. These dimensions are typical for the range, though they may vary slightly between models and current ratings. The switches are usually mounted through a rectangular cutout in the panel and secured with a front bezel or mounting flange. Wiring connections are typically made via screw terminals or cage clamps, depending on the model. For precise mounting and wiring details, refer to the specific product datasheet. 3G Electric can provide dimensional drawings and terminal diagrams for the SKUs it supplies.

How does 3G Electric support the procurement of Benedict GmbH cam switches?

3G Electric supplies Benedict GmbH cam switches and disconnect switches to industrial buyers globally. The distributor maintains a catalog of multiple SKUs, including maintained and momentary action types, various current ratings, and three-phase configurations. For procurement specialists, 3G Electric offers a single source for these components, with logistics support for international shipping. The company provides product specifications, such as action, voltage rating, phase, and standards, to aid in selection. Buyers can request quotes for specific part numbers and quantities. 3G Electric does not impose geographic restrictions on sales, serving customers worldwide. The focus is on accurate order fulfillment and access to the Benedict product line without regional limitations.
