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.

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

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. They’re often used on conveyor systems and bin filling operations. All are NEMA and IP rated for protection from washdowns.

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

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

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.

Safely open or close a circuit near ignitable gases and dust—the housing on these switches seals in anything that could ignite flammable material. You'll know they're safe because they're NEC Class I, Division 1, Groups B, C, and D; and Class II, Division 1, Groups E, F, and G certified for hazardous locations. These switches 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.

Sense objects from farther away than with other proximity switches that have the same diameter. Also known as inductive proximity switches, they remotely sense metallic objects even if they’re obscured by water, oil, dirt, or a surface finish. Sensing distance is based on the type of material being sensed. The distance listed is for mild steel. They’re often used with programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and produce PNP signal output. Some automatically sense whether PNP or NPN signal output is needed.

Flush switches, also known as embeddable or shielded switches, can be mounted so that the sensor face is level with the surface of any material, including metal. They’re more accurate than projecting switches at close range and can be mounted close together without causing interference.

Projecting switches, also known as non-embeddable or unshielded switches, must be mounted with the area around the sensor face free of metal. They have a longer sensing distance than flush switches with the same diameter.

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.

All are rated IP69K for protection from high-temperature, high-pressure washdowns. Some are also rated NEMA 6P, 13, and IP67 for protection from corrosion, oil/coolant spraying, and temporary submersion.
