Its versatility in the range of motion it can detect makes the limit switch with lever very useful for indirect actuation. The motion can also be detected from far away. The lever can also be inflexible or rigid, and the length can be changed to fit different mechanical linkages. Widely adopted in woodworking machines, automotive assembly lines and elevators, this design offers dependable contactless position feedback and non-intrusive monitoring for high-speed applications. The lever pivot point is usually hermetically sealed to avoid the ingress of dust particles and ensures dirt durability over the long term.
