Limit Switch: General-Purpose Device for Motion Position and Stroke Control

Limit Switch: General-Purpose Device for Motion Position and Stroke Control

The limit switch is a general term for switches used to restrict object motion positions or strokes, including travel limit switches, crane limit switches, micro limit switches, etc. It detects mechanical motion through contact or non-contact methods, triggering circuit changes at preset positions to control equipment operation or stop motion. Widely used in industrial automation, transportation, and construction machinery, this versatile switch is a fundamental component for ensuring safe and regulated motion in mechanical systems.

Schneider Electric has manufactured the XCKVR54D1H29 limit switch as a dust and water proof device which is able to withstand -50G mechanical shocks, therefore placing it in the category of 'harsh industrial environments'. This claim is supported by the IP67 rating which means that it is both water and dust resistant. Moreover, this device contains zinc alloy housing that enhances the mechanical protection of the device. XCKVR54D1H29 also has roller lever actuator and silver-nickel contacts which are able to last for 2 million cycles. Due to these features, the device can be used for heavy duty machinery cranes, presses, and conveyors. Additionally, quick connect terminals make wiring in control panels much easier while maintaining flexibility with the mounting position. The compact dimensions 40mm x 30mm x 20mm of the device allow for easy adaptability.
