Key benefits Protect equipment and operators by accurately limiting mechanical travel and providing reliable limit protection. Enhance safety in electrical equipment through mechanical interlock protection, reducing the risk of injury from unintended motion. Support safe, automated operation in industrial settings by preventing collisions and overtravel during movement and feeding cycles. Enable precise control of elevator systems, including door opening/closing behavior and endoftravel protection. Function and core capability Function: Limit switches detect when a moving part has reached a predefined position and switch electrical circuits accordingly to stop or alter motion. They are primarily used to control travel limits of mechanical equipment and to carry out limit protection. Compatibility and applications Suitable for integration into standard control circuits across various equipment, including home appliances, industrial machinery, and elevator systems. Commonly used in: Household appliances and electrical equipment to provide interlock protection (for example, stopping motors when a door or cover is opened). Industrial machine tools to control workpiece movement and automatic feeding to prevent collisions. Elevator control circuits to regulate door speeds, door end positions, and overall elevator protection. Size, material and performance considerations Size, housing material, actuators and electrical ratings vary by model; select the model that matches your equipment requirements. The product line provides durable construction, reliable actuation, and precise switching performance; refer to the specific model specifications for exact materials, size, and ratings. Use scenarios Washing machines and tape recorders: opening the door or cover triggers the limit switch, which changes the circuit to stop the motor and prevent injury. Industrial machine tools: limit switches regulate the travel of the workpiece and control automatic feed strokes to avoid collisions. Elevator systems: limit switches control door opening/closing speeds and establish upper and lower limits for safe operation.
