Micro Limit Switch Z-15GW-B

Limit switches are types of automatic sensors that detect the position of an object through physical contact. An object moves the actuator that opens or closes a set of electrical contacts housed in the switch body, which are connected to equipment circuits by the connection terminals. limit Switches are simply switches that are commonly used to detect the presence of a moving object when the object reaches the desired location.

Limit switches are used in a variety of applications and environments because of their ruggedness, ease of installation, and reliability of operation. They can determine the presence or absence, passing, positioning, and end of travel of an object. They were first used to define the limit of travel of an object; hence the name "Limit Switch".
