Key benefits Reliable protection: prevents overtravel and border collisions by interrupting movement at preset positions, protecting personnel and equipment. Safer operation: interrupts motor circuits or machine functions when doors, lids, or travel limits are reached, reducing injury risk and accidental damage. Precise position control: provides repeatable limit detection for accurate end-of-travel and stroke control in automated systems. Wide applicability and easy integration: designed for use with a broad range of mechanical devices, industrial machines, and automatic doors. Main functions and attributes Function: mechanical limit detection for border protection, displacement control, and circuit interruption when a set position is reached. Compatibility: intended for integration with household appliances (e.g., washing machines, tape recorders), machine tools, conveyor and feed mechanisms, and elevator control circuits. Size and installation: compact form factor and standard mounting options allow installation in constrained spaces and retrofit use on existing equipment. Construction and reliability: built for frequent actuation and long service life to maintain consistent performance in safety and control roles. Performance: delivers consistent switch activation to control end positions, stop motors or feeds, and trigger protective interlocks. Typical applications (practical scenarios) Household appliance safety: installed on washing machine doors or lids to interrupt motor power when the door opens, preventing injury and stopping operation until secured. Machine tool and automation: mounted on machine tools and automatic feed systems to limit workpiece travel, control feed stroke length, and prevent collisions during machining or automated transfer. Elevator and automatic door control: used in elevator control circuits and automatic doors to manage door opening/closing speeds, define end positions, and protect upper and lower travel limits. Why choose limit switches They solve common safety and control problems by providing a simple, mechanical means to detect and enforce travel limits. They reduce downtime and repair costs by preventing collisions and overtravel. They are a practical, proven solution for both everyday appliances and demanding industrial environments. For selection and installation, check the specific switch model, mounting orientation, and electrical ratings to match your equipment and control circuit.
