Choosing an Electrical Switch

Rated IP67, these switches are protected from washdowns and temporary submersion. 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 on conveyor systems and elevators.

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

Low-Profile Washdown Limit Switches

Stack these slim switches together, or fit them into tight spaces. They're rated NEMA 4, 13 and IP67 for protection from washdowns, oil/coolant spraying, and temporary submersion. 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 on conveyor systems and elevators.

Switches with a 4-pole micro M12 plug connect to cables with a socket (sold separately), allowing you to quickly connect and disconnect the switch.

Limit Switches

Often used on conveyor systems and bin filling operations, 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. All are rated IP67 for protection from washdown and temporary submersion.

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

Compact Safety Limit Switches

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. 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 on conveyor systems and bin filling operations. All are NEMA and IP rated for protection from washdowns.

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

NEMA 13 and IP67 rated switches are protected from oil/coolant spraying and temporary submersion.

Hazardous Location Limit Switches

Wobble Stick

Use these switches where ignitable gas and dust may be present. They meet UL Class I, Division 1, Groups B, C, and D; and Class II, Division 1, Groups E, F, and G for hazardous locations. 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 on conveyor systems and elevators.
