Sealed actuators prevent these switches from jamming, even when exposed to oil, sand, mud, or ice. They send a signal to your circuit when an object hits the actuator—for instance, a box on a conveyor runs into the switch, stopping the conveyor. They open and close circuits as fast as snap-acting switches, but they have a bigger actuator for large objects. To actuate, they require a push, similar to a button. Rated IP68, they’re protected against dust and temporary submersion.

Switches with a stainless steel housing stand up better to wear and tear and corrosion better than switches with a zinc-plated steel housing.

Stack these slim switches together, or fit them into tight spaces. They're rated IP67 for protection from temporary submersion. When an object in motion comes into contact with the actuator, it sends a signal to open or close a circuit. They’re often used on conveyor systems and elevators.

Switches with a 4-pole micro M12 plug connect to cables with a socket (sold separately), allowing you to quickly connect and disconnect the switch.

Switches with powder-coated zinc and plastic housings are rated NEMA 4 and 13 for protection from washdowns and oil/coolant spraying.

Secure these switches into panels using mounting nuts. They have a slim body so they can also be stacked together or fit into tight spaces. They're rated IP67 for protection from temporary submersion. When an object in motion comes into contact with the actuator, it sends a signal to open or close a circuit. They’re often used on conveyor systems and elevators. All have a 4-pole micro M12 plug that connects to cables with a socket (sold separately), allowing you to quickly connect and disconnect the switch.

Rated IP67, these switches are protected from temporary submersion. When an object in motion comes into contact with the actuator, it sends a signal to open or close a circuit. They’re often used on conveyor systems and elevators.

Styles D and E have an actuator that allows you to adjust its height, making it easier to align the switch with the target during installation.

Rated NEMA 6P, 13, and IP67, these switches are protected from corrosion, oil/coolant spraying, washdowns, and temporary submersion. When an object in motion comes into contact with the actuator, it sends a signal to open or close a circuit. They’re often used on conveyor systems and bin filling operations.

Styles D and E have an actuator that allows you to adjust its height, making it easier to align switch with the target during installation.

Switches with wire leads are rated NEMA 3S and IP69K and protected from rain, snow and sleet, and from high temperature, high pressure jets of water.

Sealed actuators prevent these switches from jamming, even when exposed to sand, mud, or dirt. They're rated IP67 for temporary submersion. They have a slim design and can be stacked together or fit into narrow spaces. When an object in motion comes into contact with the actuator, it sends a signal to open or close a circuit. They're often used on conveyor systems and elevators.

Shorter and thinner than other safety limit switches, these are sized to fit tight spaces. They protect machinery and ensure the safety of personnel. Positive-force contacts open the circuit when actuated, even if a spring fails or the contacts stick. They send a signal to your circuit when an object hits the actuator—for instance, a box on a conveyor runs into the switch, stopping the conveyor. They open and close circuits as fast as snap-acting switches, but they have a bigger actuator for large objects. All are NEMA and IP rated for protection from washdowns.

Switches with a plunger actuator require a push to activate, similar to a button.

Switches with a roller plunger actuator have a roller that moves parallel to the mounting direction when an object pushes the actuator. This reduces friction during actuation to limit wear and tear.

Switches with a roller lever actuator use a lever with a roller at the end to activate. This allows parts to glide across the actuation surface with minimal friction, limiting wear and tear.

Switches with a rod actuator have a large actuation area with a rod extending out of the actuator’s body. They’re best where the object actuating the switch is far away.

Switches with a wobble stick actuator have an arm that rotates 360°, so you don’t need to align it in a specific direction. The actuator won’t snap if pushed backward, such as if there’s a jam in your system.

Styles E and F have an actuator that allows you to adjust its height, making it easier to align the switch with the target during installation.

NEMA 13 and IP67 rated switches are protected from oil/coolant spraying and temporary submersion.

Protect machinery and ensure the safety of personnel—these switches have positive-force contacts that will open the circuit when actuated even if a spring fails or the contacts stick. When an object in motion comes into contact with the actuator, it sends a signal to open or close a circuit. These switches have the rapid-closing action of a snap-acting switch, but with a larger actuator. This makes them a good choice for use with large objects—for instance, a box on a conveyor runs into the switch, stopping the conveyor.

Switches with a plunger actuator require a push to actuate, similar to a button.

Switches with a roller plunger actuator have a roller that moves parallel to the mounting direction when an object pushes the actuator. This reduces friction during actuation to limit wear and tear on your switch.

Switches with a roller lever actuator use a lever with a roller at the end to activate. This allows parts to glide across the actuation surface with minimal friction, limiting wear and tear on your switch.

Switches with a rod actuator use a rod extending out of the body to actuate, so they’ll activate even if an object is far away.

Switches with a wobble stick actuator have an arm that rotates 360°, so you don’t need to align it in a specific direction. Since the actuator is flexible, it won’t snap if pushed backward. That makes these switches a great choice for systems that get jammed often.

Styles E, F, and G have an actuator that allows you to adjust its height, making it easier to align switch with the target during installation.

Switches with a steel actuator are more durable than switches with a plastic actuator. They also handle higher loads.

Switches with a plastic actuator limit wear and tear on passing objects better than switches with a steel actuator.
