Shop plunger limit switches for direct mechanical actuation and position detection. Compare plunger style, travel, contact configuration, mounting dimensions, and environmental ratings.
Plunger limit switches operate through direct linear contact with a moving machine component, cam or mechanical stop. They are commonly used where precise actuation and repeatable position detection are required.
Important selection factors include plunger style, operating force, pretravel, overtravel, contact configuration, electrical ratings, mounting dimensions, connection type and enclosure or IP rating. The direction of movement and available mechanical travel should also be considered to prevent excessive force or damage to the switch.
Products are organized generically so plunger limit switches from different manufacturers can be compared within the same category and technical filters.
