Position switches are used wherever moving parts on machinery and plants need to be positioned, controlled and monitored.
The design details in relation to body dimensions, materials, electrical loading capacity, rated values and quality characteristics are to a great extent determined by the variety of application, from precision mechanics to heavy engineering.
Many of the position switches fulfill the requirements of the IEC 60947-5-1 product standard and can therefore also be used as position switches with safety function.
The position switches are available with snap action or slow action.
A wide variety of manufacturers of actuator heads are available. The majority of units are also obtainable with metal rollers.
The position switches are shown in the sequence of body sizes, starting with the smallest design.
