Showing Results For: Limit Switches
Limit switches, also known as position switches, are electromechanical switching devices designed to detect an object's physical presence or absence within a predefined limit or position. They got their name by defining the object's travel limit by breaking or making the electrical connection. A limit switch monitors the movement and position in proximity and limits the machinery or components' mechanical motion in various industrial and automation applications. The fundamental purpose of limit switches is to provide signals to control systems once the object reaches a specific limit or position, ensuring safe movements.
Lever switches can be actuated using various mechanisms based on their integrated components, such as:
Mechanical limit switches typically have a normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) configuration. In the default state, NO switches have their contacts open, which close when the object actuates the switch. Conversely, NC switches have their contacts closed in the default state and open when actuated.
Limit switches are available in wide varieties, each suited for specific purposes. Some of the popular limit switch types and their typical applications include:
Typical Applications: Automated machinery, robotics, conveyor systems, and security applications.
Typical Applications: Fine-tuning the detection point in various automated systems, such as CNC machines or printing presses.
Typical Applications: Emergency stop circuits, machine guarding, safety interlocks, and access control.
Typical Applications: Harsh environments, outdoor equipment, and industrial machinery.
