Limit Switch: General-Purpose Device for Motion Position and Stroke Control

Limit Switch: General-Purpose Device for Motion Position and Stroke Control

The limit switch is a general term for switches used to restrict object motion positions or strokes, including travel limit switches, crane limit switches, micro limit switches, etc. It detects mechanical motion through contact or non-contact methods, triggering circuit changes at preset positions to control equipment operation or stop motion. Widely used in industrial automation, transportation, and construction machinery, this versatile switch is a fundamental component for ensuring safe and regulated motion in mechanical systems.

Advantages

Universal Motion Control Solution

Covers diverse applications (stroke, position, limit) with a single product category, simplifying procurement and inventory management.

Multiple Technology Options

Offers mechanical, optical, and magnetic types, adapting to contact or non-contact detection needs in different industries.

Cost-Effective Safety Solution

Lower maintenance costs than non-mechanical sensors, with durable designs reducing replacement frequency in industrial settings.

Related products

Bidirectional cross limit switches can control motion in both directions and can detect mechanical travel in both the positive and negative direction, giving dual-limit protection for linear or rotational systems. A symmetrical arrangement of contacts on the cross limit switch guarantees dependable actuation, and therefore closing of the contacts, once the controlled part moves beyond the fixed distance limits. This makes the cross limit switch appropriate for applications with sophisticated and precise back and forth motion, as CNC machine tool slides or robotic arm joints. Provided with adjustable reset settings and strong housing to absorb shocks, the switch is designed to have enduring reliability after repeated hits in high-cycle industrial environments.

Kevin Wilson
Essential Limit Switch for Safe Motion Control

The limit switch is a fundamental component for controlling object motion and ensuring safety. It effectively limits travel and prevents overrun in our machinery. Easy to install and adjust, it offers reliable performance at a reasonable price. A must-have for any system requiring motion limitation.

Tom Li
Cost-Effective Safety for Small Businesses

For our small woodshop, these limit switches replaced expensive custom sensors at a fraction of the cost. The mechanical type works perfectly for our table saw's travel limits, and the adjustable screws let us fine-tune as we upgrade our equipment. Simple to install, reliable in daily use—ideal for businesses on a budget.
