Limit switch A compact, reliable limit switch used to detect end of travel in machines and automation lines. It provides a defined contact state when the moving part reaches the actuator, enabling safe stops, interlocks, or position signaling. Function and benefits: Detects end travel to prevent overrun, protects tooling and machinery, and reduces downtime by signaling controllers to stop or adjust motion. Key features: Snap action contacts for fast, repeatable switching; actuator options include plunger, lever, and roller; sealed housing suitable for dust and light washdown; standard terminals or connector options for easy wiring. Size and material: Small footprint; available in metal or plastic housings; robust actuation with durable components designed for industrial use. Performance and reliability: cycle life, low contact bounce, stable operation across typical service temperatures. Compatibility: Works with common control circuits, PLC inputs, and relays; compatible with standard mounting patterns and wiring methods. Use scenarios: CNC machine end travel to prevent tool crashes; end of conveyor positioning to trigger stops or product gaps; safety interlock on access doors or guards to ensure machine shutdown when opened.
