    Stack these slim switches together, or fit them into tight spaces. They're rated IP67 for protection from temporary submersion. When an object in motion comes into contact with the actuator, it sends a signal to open or close a circuit. These switches have the rapid-closing action of a snap-acting switch, but have a larger actuator for large objects. They’re often used on conveyor systems and elevators.
    Plunger Actuator—Plunger actuators open or close circuits when objects push against them.
    Roller Plunger Actuator—Roller plunger actuators open or close circuits when an object pushes against the roller, which moves the plunger. The roller moves parallel to the mounting direction, so it helps push the plunger even if the force isn’t straight on. The roller also reduces friction during actuation which prevents wear and tear over time.
    Cross Roller Plunger Actuator—Cross roller plunger actuators open or close circuits when an object pushes against the roller, which moves the plunger. The roller moves perpendicular to the mounting direction and reduces friction during actuation which prevents wear and tear over time.
    Roller Lever Actuator—Roller lever actuators open or close circuits when material moves across the switch. The roller reduces friction during actuation which prevents wear and tear over time.
    Wobble Stick Actuator—Wobble stick actuators open or close circuits when an object hits the flexible arm. The arm has a 360° range of motion, so it can be actuated from any direction. This means that if there’s a jam, these switches are less likely to break than switches that are aligned to a specific direction.

    Aluminum Enclosed Push-Button Switches

    A lightweight yet durable alternative to stainless steel enclosed switches, these aluminum enclosed switches withstand corrosion, oil, and washdowns. They can mount directly to a wall when there’s not enough room in an electrical panel. The enclosure has knockouts so you can easily connect it to conduit fittings and cord grips.

    A sealed actuator prevents these switches from jamming, even when exposed to sand, mud, or dirt. They're also rated IP67 for temporary submersion. With a slim design, you can stack them or fit them in tight spaces. When an object in motion comes into contact with the actuator, it sends a signal to open or close a circuit. These switches have the rapid-closing action of a snap-acting switch, but with a larger actuator. This makes them a good choice for use with large objects. For instance, a box on a conveyor runs into the switch, stopping the conveyor.
    Plunger Actuator—Switches with a plunger actuator require a push to actuate, similar to a button.
    Roller Plunger Actuator—Switches with a roller plunger actuator have a roller that moves when an object pushes the actuator. This reduces friction during actuation to limit wear and tear on your switch.
    Cross Roller Plunger Actuator—Switches with a cross roller plunger actuator have a roller that moves when an object pushes the actuator. This reduces friction during actuation to limit wear and tear on your switch. The roller moves perpendicular to the mounting direction.

    Also known as interlock switches, these ensure the safety of personnel by automatically shutting off power to machinery when an access door opens. Mount the switch to the door frame and mount a key to the door so that the key is inserted into the switch when the door is closed. When the door opens, the key is removed from the switch and the machine shuts down. They’re often used with machine guards for large robots.
    For the Manufacturer User Manual, click on a part number and select Product Detail.
    Styles A-G—Style A-G switches have positive-force, normally closed contacts that will open a circuit when the switch is actuated even if a spring fails or the contacts stick.
    IP67 Enclosure Rating—IP67 rated switches protect against temporary submersion.
    Key Included—All switches require an actuator key, but not all include one—check whether you need to pick out a separate actuator key. For some switch styles, you can also select the mounting orientation of the key.

    Switch Contact Blocks

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Switch Contact Blocks.
    Make or break an electrical circuit. These contact blocks mount to manual switches and transmit an electrical signal when the switch actuator is engaged. You can stack multiple blocks, so a single switch can control several circuits. This is helpful in setups that require multiple systems to turn on or off at the same time. For example, the switch on a conveyor line could turn off the conveyor and turn on a diverter and alarm.

    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.
    Plunger Actuator—Switches with a plunger actuator require a push to actuate, similar to a button.
    Roller Plunger Actuator—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 on your switch.
    Roller Lever Actuator—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.

    Hazardous Location 30 mm Panel-Mount Key Switches

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Key Switches. Hazardous Location 30 mm Panel-Mount Key Switches.
    Designed for use near ignitable gases, fibers, and dust, these switches have a housing that seals in anything that could ignite flammable material. You’ll know they’re safe because they’re NEC Class 1, Division 2 Groups A-D and NEC Zone 1 Groups IIC-IIA certified for hazardous locations. These switches require a key to turn circuits on or off, preventing accidental actuation and limiting access to sensitive equipment. Since they’re keyed alike, all open with the same key. Install them in a standard panel cutout.

    Build-Your-Own Limit Switches

    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.

    Delay access to hazardous areas until conditions are safe; use these switches with machines that take time to stop after they are turned off. Mount the switch to the door frame and mount the key to the door so that the key is inserted into the switch when the door is closed. When the door is pulled, the key is held in place with 225 lbs. of force until the switch receives a signal from a time-delay relay, motion sensor, or position sensor (not included) that the machine’s motion has stopped. After the motion has stopped, the key can be removed from the switch, releasing the access door. They’re often used with machine guards. All have positive-force, normally-closed contacts that will open a circuit when the switch is actuated even if a spring fails or the contacts stick. They’re rated for protection from washdowns and temporary submersion.

    Safety Relays with Diagnostic Capabilities

    Relay

    Control and diagnose issues with safety-critical circuits. These relays have a microprocessor that monitors safety components, such as emergency stops and light curtains, and sends a signal to stop the operation if a failure is detected and restart when the issue is resolved. They also help with diagnostic tasks because of their feedback circuit, which allows basic relays to communicate their status back to the safety relay. These relays have a duplicate set of input and output signals, so they’ll still stop the controlled device if one of the inputs fails.
    IP20 rated, they have recessed terminals which prevent fingers and other objects from touching live circuits. These relays have been tested to multiple safety standards and can help achieve PL, SIL, or CAT system ratings. They also meet ISO and IEC standards for machine safety.
    Mount them to 35 mm DIN rail (also known as DIN 3 Rail) for fast installation.
