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.

Advantages

Universal Motion Control Solution

Covers diverse applications (stroke, position, limit) with a single product category, simplifying procurement and inventory management.

Multiple Technology Options

Offers mechanical, optical, and magnetic types, adapting to contact or non-contact detection needs in different industries.

High Reliability in Critical Applications

Widely used in elevators, cranes, and aerospace equipment, with fail-safe designs meeting ISO 13849 performance level d.

Related products

A rotary limit switch for cranes does just that; it is made for measuring the rotating motion of hoisting drums or trolley drives. It has a switch operated by geared mechanism an which converts rotation into backward motion which allows precise limit control of the crane travel. It can function in harsh environments—outdoors, for example, because it is IP68 shockproof (up to 50G) water resistant. For greater safety when carrying heavy loads, the switch is often equipped with several switches which can set several movements (pausing before coming to a full stop).

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.
