Specifications

Voltage Rating: 6 VDC Current Rating: 1 A Housing Material: Plastic Switch Type: Toggle Actuator Type: Lever Operating Voltage: 6 V Package Quantity: 36 units Contact Configuration: Single pole Mounting Style: Panel or chassis mount compatible

Applications

Conveyor belt system end-stop detection Automated assembly line position verification Packaging machinery cycle control Robotics arm joint limit protection CNC machine axis travel restriction Industrial door and gate safety interlocks Material handling equipment stroke limiting Textile manufacturing thread tension monitoring This component serves as a critical interface between mechanical motion and electrical control circuits. By physically interrupting or completing a circuit upon contact, it prevents over-travel of machinery parts and ensures operational safety. The lever actuator can be adjusted or fitted with rollers (sold separately) to accommodate different cam profiles and approach angles, making it versatile for various machine designs. Its low voltage rating makes it particularly suitable for control logic circuits where safety and energy efficiency are priorities. The plastic housing offers sufficient protection against dust and minor splashes typically found in indoor factory settings, though it is not intended for submersion or high-pressure washdown areas. Engineers and procurement specialists will find this switch ideal for retrofitting older equipment or designing new systems that require dependable, mechanical feedback without the complexity of electronic sensors. The bulk pack size supports maintenance departments in keeping adequate spares on hand to minimize downtime during routine replacements or unexpected failures.
