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.

High Reliability in Critical Applications

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

Cost-Effective Safety Solution

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

Related products

In limit switches, a spring limit switch has a Tension or Compression spring incorporated into its actuator, which permits some movement from mechanical motion. The spring soaks up jarring forces decelerating impacts on internal parts, increasing the longevity of the switch in high-velocity scenarios like elevator door control or automated sorting systems. These minor self-adjustments help to stabilize the triggering despite the variations in the mechanical construction tolerances.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes limit switches a universal safety solution?

Limit switches cover diverse applications (stroke, position, limit) with a single product category, simplifying procurement and inventory management. Their versatility across industries—from elevators to aerospace—makes them a fundamental safety component.
Limit switches offer multiple technology options, including mechanical, optical, and magnetic types, adapting to contact or non-contact detection needs. This allows selection based on environmental factors, precision requirements, or application complexity.
Limit switches are widely used in elevators, cranes, and aerospace equipment, with fail-safe designs meeting ISO 13849 performance level d. Their high reliability in critical scenarios ensures compliance with strict safety standards and minimizes risk of catastrophic failures.
Limit switches are CE, UL, and CSA certified, ensuring compliance with safety regulations in Europe, North America, and other regions. This global certification simplifies market entry for manufacturers and end-users worldwide.

Customer Reviews

Rob Wilson
Universal Solution for Diverse Applications

As a system integrator, we use these limit switches across industries—from elevator safety to conveyor position control. The variety of types (mechanical, optical) lets us choose the best fit for each client's needs, and the global certifications (CE/UL) simplify compliance in different markets. Clients appreciate their 'fit-and-forget' reliability—we've never had a callback for limit switch issues in 50+ projects.

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.
