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.

Related products

‘Heavy duty limit switches’ are designed to cope with intense mechanical stress, vibration and environmental damage. Its die cast metal housings with reinforced internal parts allow it to with stand impact forces of up to 100 G and continual use within the -40° – 125° C range. Its common applications include but are not limited to mining equipment and construction machinery where it acts as a fail-safe for large-scale moving parts. To comply with the safety standards ISO 13849 PLd, the switches are equipped with redundant contacts for safety critical systems.

Kevin Wilson
Essential Limit Switch for Safe Motion Control

The limit switch is a fundamental component for controlling object motion and ensuring safety. It effectively limits travel and prevents overrun in our machinery. Easy to install and adjust, it offers reliable performance at a reasonable price. A must-have for any system requiring motion limitation.

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.
