Eaton 5-Y-41433-406-PD-Q-U Predetermined Counter

The Eaton 5-Y-41433-406-PD-Q-U is a precision electromechanical predetermined counter designed for industrial environments where reliable counting and batch control are required. With a 5-digit display and 120 VAC operation, it is ideal for applications such as parts counting, coil winding, packaging, and cut-to-length systems. The counter features a manual pushbutton reset and robust construction for long service life in demanding conditions.

• UL and CSA recognized components

Technical Specifications

Operating Principle

The counter is preset to the desired number via front-panel thumbwheels (or internal switches, depending on version). As input pulses are received, the count decrements toward zero. When zero is reached, the internal relay changes state, signaling that the preset batch is complete. The output can be used to stop a machine, sound an alarm, or initiate another process. The counter then resets manually via the pushbutton to begin a new cycle.

Applications

• Packaging: counting items into boxes or bags

• Machine tools: cycle counting for maintenance scheduling

• Coil winding: turns counting with automatic stop

• Cut-to-length: controlling material feed length

• Batching systems for chemicals, food, or aggregates

Installation and Wiring

The counter mounts in a panel cutout with the provided clamp. Terminals are clearly marked for line voltage, count input, and relay output. Shielded cable is recommended for count signals in electrically noisy environments. The pushbutton reset is front accessible, and the entire unit is sealed against dust and splash (front panel IP65 typical).

The Eaton 5-Y-41433-406-PD-Q-U predetermined counter offers simple, reliable counting for industrial processes where electromechanical ruggedness is preferred over electronic displays.
