IDEM Die-cast safety limit switches HLM

IDEM’s HLM range of heavy duty Die Cast Safety Limit Switches have been designed to be mounted for position sensing of moving applications e.g. guard doors, conveyors, machine beds and elevators. They are available with an extensive range of actuator heads and can be supplied with either slow break or snap action contacts.

 

Operation

 

Operation of IDEM Safety Limit Switches is achieved by a sliding actuation of the moving object to cause deflection of the switch plungers, rollers or levers.

 

For safety applications it is important that the moving object does not pass completely over the switch actuators so as to either cause damage to the actuator or allow it to return to its original position.

  • Heavy duty die-cast bodies (red)
  • Positive opening NC safety contact
  • High mechanical life over 5,000,000 cycles
  • Industry standard mounting
  • Large choice of actuator heads
