Product type
A limit switch is an electromechanical device used to detect the presence or absence of an object or to monitor the position of a moving part. It typically consists of a mechanical actuator that opens or closes an electrical circuit when a specified limit is reached. Limit switches are commonly made from durable materials such as plastic, metal, or a combination of both, designed to withstand various environmental conditions.
| Operating voltage | 5V to 240V AC/DC |
| Contact rating | 10A to 15A |
| Actuator types | Roller, plunger, and toggle |
| Temperature range | -25°C to 85°C |
| Housing material | Plastic or metal |
When selecting a limit switch, consider the operating environment, including temperature and exposure to moisture or dust. Specify the required voltage and current ratings to ensure compatibility with your system. Additionally, choose the appropriate actuator type based on the application needs and the physical space available. Certifications such as UL or CE can also be important for safety and compliance in certain industries.
