Electromechanical detection
Limit switches are used in all automated installations and also in a wide variety of applications,
due to the numerous advantages inherent to their technology.
They transmit data to the logic processing system regarding:
v presence/absence,
v passing,
v positioning,
v end of travel.
Simple to install switches, offering many advantages
b From an electrical viewpoint
v galvanic separation of circuits,
v models suitable for low power switching, combined with good electrical durability,
v very good short-circuit withstand in coordination with appropriate fuses,
v total immunity to electromagnetic interference,
v high rated operational voltage.
b From a mechanical viewpoint
v N/C contacts with positive opening operation,
v high resistance to the different ambient conditions encountered in industry (standard tests and
specific tests under laboratory conditions),
v high repeat accuracy, up to 0.01 mm on the tripping points.
