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.

Lower maintenance costs than non-mechanical sensors, with durable designs reducing replacement frequency in industrial settings.

Related products

The features of a roller lever limit switch include a lever with a roller at the end that oscillates. It translates either linear or rotational movement into switch activation. It is appropriate for use in high-speed applications such as textile machines or paper mills due to its unique roller design that minimizes friction and wear as it contacts the moving parts. The lever angle and roller size can be altered to adapt to specific mechanisms, and seal IP67 means no dust or coolant can penetrate the sealed housing protecting the switch in metalworking applications.

Linda Miller
Versatile Limit Switch with Wide Applications

This limit switch is highly versatile, suitable for various types of machinery and equipment. It provides accurate position detection and reliable operation, enhancing the safety and efficiency of our processes. The simple design and durable construction make it a practical choice. Very happy with its performance.

Tom Li
Cost-Effective Safety for Small Businesses

For our small woodshop, these limit switches replaced expensive custom sensors at a fraction of the cost. The mechanical type works perfectly for our table saw's travel limits, and the adjustable screws let us fine-tune as we upgrade our equipment. Simple to install, reliable in daily use—ideal for businesses on a budget.
