General Electromechanical detection

Limit switches are used in all automated installations and also in a wide variety of applications,
1 due to the numerous advantages inherent to their technology.
They transmit data to the logic processing system regarding:
b presence/absence,
b passage,
b positioning,
b end of travel.

Simple to install switches, offering many advantages

2 b From an electrical viewpoint:
v galvanic separation of circuits,
v models suitable for low power switching, combined with good electrical durability,
v very good short-circuit withstand in coordination with appropriate fuses,
v total immunity to electromagnetic interference,
v high rated operational voltage.

b From a mechanical viewpoint:

3 v N/C contacts with positive opening operation,

v high resistance to the different ambient conditions encountered in industry,
v high repeat accuracy, up to 0.01 mm on the tripping points,
v simple visible operation.

Mechanical endurance
b Major factors affecting the mechanical endurance of a limit switch:
v operating speed and frequency,

4 v operating travel (percentage of total travel),

v cam angle,
v environnment (presence of abrasive dust, corrosive substances, etc).

Degrees of protection provided by enclosures

European standards Degrees of protection against the penetration of solid bodies, water and personnel
access to live parts

1 The European standard EN 60529 dated October 1991, IEC publication 529 (2nd edition -
November 1989), defines a coding system (IP code) for indicating the degree of protection
provided by electrical equipment enclosures against accidental direct contact with live parts and
against the ingress of solid foreign objects or water.
This standard does not apply to protection against the risk of explosion or conditions such as
humidity, corrosive gasses, fungi or vermin.

IPpp code
2 b The IP code comprises 2 characteristic numerals (e.g. IP 55)
b Any characteristic numeral which is unspecified is replaced by an X (e.g. IP XX).

1st characteristic numeral: corresponds to 2nd characteristic numeral:
