Two industrial control components. Two different jobs. One buying decision. The AGASTAT E7012PC002 is an electropneumatic time delay relay; the Cutler Hammer 10316H16C is a limit switch. In industrial control panels, the component you choose has to perform one very specific function. A time delay relay and a limit switch are not interchangeable, even if they live in the same cabinet. This comparison lays out what each part does so you can match the part to the problem. You don't need both-you need the one that matches your circuit's function. Here's how to choose.
Quick verdict
If your control sequence needs a timed delay between electrical and pneumatic signals, choose the AGASTAT relay. If you need a mechanical switch to detect motion or position, choose the Cutler Hammer limit switch. The two parts do different jobs, so the right pick depends on the task. The AGASTAT handles timing delays between electrical and pneumatic control signals; the Cutler Hammer handles mechanical position sensing with a roller-actuated switch. Put the wrong one in the panel, and your control loop simply won't do what you need.
Comparison table
| Product | Price | Condition | MPN |
|---|---|---|---|
| AGASTAT E7012PC002 | USD 226.00 | Used | E7012PC002 |
| Cutler Hammer 10316H16C | USD 179.99 | New - Open box | 10316H16C |
Where each product wins
- The AGASTAT E7012PC002 wins for timing: it is the relay, built to bridge electrical and pneumatic control signals in a timed sequence.
- The Cutler Hammer 10316H16C wins for actuation: its roller top push design gives a direct mechanical input when something presses the roller.
- Choose the AGASTAT when your process needs timing, not position sensing.
- Choose the Cutler Hammer when your machine needs position sensing, not timing.
AGASTAT E7012PC002
The AGASTAT E7012PC002 is a used industrial electropneumatic time delay relay. Electropneumatic operation lets the relay coordinate between electrical and pneumatic circuits, which is useful in process controls where a timed delay has to line up air pressure changes with electrical signals. The listing includes the MPN E7012PC002, and the item is offered by Boyd Industrial Supply. Returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase, provided the relay comes back in the same condition it was shipped in. If your setup specifically calls for a delay relay with an electropneumatic interface, this is the component that fits. The main limitation is the used condition: you are buying a part that has been in service before, so you can't inspect internal wear before it arrives.
Cutler Hammer 10316H16C
The Cutler Hammer 10316H16C is a heavy duty industrial limit switch with a roller top push actuator. When a moving part presses the roller, the switch changes state to signal a position or travel limit. This listing is for a New - Open box unit, meaning the switch is new but the original box has been opened. You get a new-condition part with a mechanical actuator that is straightforward to apply in industrial control applications. The drawback is the open-box status: you don't get the sealed factory packaging, and the item might show minor signs of handling from being on a warehouse shelf.
Final choice by use case
Pick the AGASTAT E7012PC002 if your control circuit needs timing. It's the higher-priced component, but its timing function is the deciding factor.
Pick the Cutler Hammer 10316H16C if your machine needs position sensing. It's the lower-priced component, and it brings a mechanical actuation design to your panel.
