Manufacturer profiles associated with Limit switches.
Manufacturer listings support early research and capability understanding. They are not certification, ranking, or transaction guarantees.
A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
A limit switch detects when the actuator's moving element reaches its maximum or minimum travel position. It sends a signal to the control system to stop or reverse motion, preventing overtravel and ensuring precise positioning.
Reference ratings include operating voltage from 24 to 240 V AC/DC and operating current from 0.1 to 10 A, per IEC 60947-5-1. Contact configuration is typically 1NO+1NC. Always verify model-specific ratings with the manufacturer.
They have an operating temperature range of -25 to 70 °C and degrees of protection from IP65 to IP67, meaning dust-tight and protected against water jets. Confirm suitability for your environment with the supplier.
Consider the actuator's stroke, speed, electrical load, and environmental conditions. Review the reference parameters such as voltage, current, life expectancy, and protection rating. Consult the manufacturer for model-specific data and installation guidance.
