Limit switches are essential components for controlling machinery and automation systems. They detect physical movement or position and trigger electrical signals accordingly. Common types include rotary, plunger, and roller lever actuators, each suited for different applications. These switches often feature multiple contacts, such as normally open and normally closed, to suit various control circuits.
Many limit switches are designed for industrial environments and can operate in hazardous locations. They come with different enclosures, contact ratings, and connection options. Safety interlock switches and miniature models are also available for specialized uses. Proper selection ensures reliable operation and safety in automation and control systems.
