Position Limit Switches For Hazardous Areas

Limitex position limit switch, rugged and reliable, is designed to control the movement of overhead travelling cranes, hoists and industrial machine tools operating in potentially explosive areas. 

An explosive atmosphere is a mixture of air and gases, vapors, fumes or combustible powders, where combustion quickly propagates (explosion) after ignition at atmospheric pressure. 

The position limit switch operates as an auxiliary controller of electrical motors through a power interface, such as a contactor or PLC.

The limit switch is provided with a modular adapter with fi xing points 


MATERIALS 

The limit switches have a rugged external enclosure made of G20 cast iron. 
This enclosure ensure protection against water and dust. 
The cross rod support is made of zinc alloy. 
The internal components are made of materials which guarantee long mechanical life and continuous performance.
