Combine an actuator and a switch to assemble the exact limit switch you need. These switches have the rapid-closing action of a snap-acting switch, but have a larger actuator for large objects. When an object in motion comes into contact with the actuator, it sends a signal to open or close a circuit. They’re often used for conveyor systems and elevators. Each actuator style is compatible with all housing styles and vice versa.

Switches with a polypropylene plastic housing are lighter in weight than metal switches. Switches with a zinc housing are more durable than those with a plastic housing.

Switches with a 4-pole micro M12 plug quickly connect and disconnect from your setup. Use cables (sold separately) to wire your switch connection to your setup.

Switches with an LED power indicator and LED status indicator show you the status of the line and load phases. They give you extra assurance that your switch is connected and wired correctly.

Switches with 2 conduit connections allow you to wire switches side by side, so you can save space and simplify your wiring.

IP65 switches protect against dust and splashing water. IP66 switches protect against dust and washdowns. IP67 switches protect against dust and temporary submersion.

Shorter and thinner than other safety limit switches, these are sized to fit tight spaces. They protect machinery and ensure the safety of personnel. Positive-force contacts open the circuit when actuated, even if a spring fails or the contacts stick. They send a signal to your circuit when an object hits the actuator—for instance, a box on a conveyor runs into the switch, stopping the conveyor. They open and close circuits as fast as snap-acting switches, but they have a bigger actuator for large objects. All are NEMA and IP rated for protection from washdowns.

Switches with a plunger actuator require a push to activate, similar to a button.

Switches with a roller plunger actuator have a roller that moves parallel to the mounting direction when an object pushes the actuator. This reduces friction during actuation to limit wear and tear.

Switches with a roller lever actuator use a lever with a roller at the end to activate. This allows parts to glide across the actuation surface with minimal friction, limiting wear and tear.

Switches with a roller lever actuator use a lever with a roller at the end to activate. This allows parts to glide across the actuation surface with minimal friction, limiting wear and tear on your switch.

Switches with a rod actuator use a rod extending out of the body to actuate, so they’ll activate even if an object is far away.

Styles D, E, and F have an actuator that allows you to adjust its height, making it easier to align switch with the target during installation.

Switches with a steel actuator are more durable than switches with a plastic actuator. They also handle higher loads.

Switches with a plastic actuator limit wear and tear on passing objects better than switches with a steel actuator.
