The GLE series from Honeywell forms part of the larger GLS limit switches range. GLE limit switches are compact, rugged and versatile. With a small footprint, these limit switches are ideal for applications where a limited amount of space is available. This series are construted from three-conduit rugged housing and can operate in harsh environments.

• Galvanically isolated contacts give you control over two separate circuits.
• The NC (normally closed) contacts are direct acting. This ensures that they will open when actuated.
• The use of a dual bearing design for the side rotary actuators enhances the mechanical life of the unit while reducing die loading.
• Able to withstand wash downs, shock and vibrations.
• Reliable and accurate.
• Wide operating temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C.
• 20 mm to 22 mm mounting holes.

• GLE limit switches have an outstanding mechanical lifespan, to 10 million operations.
• The actuators or heads can be positioned at increments of 90°. This offers you incredible flexibility with your designs and allows you to use these limit switches for a range of environments or applications.
• Models with side rotary actuator heads can be set up so that the actuation is clockwise, anti clockwise or both.
• You can easily customise this range of limit switches due to the modular design of the unit. Bodies, contact blocks and heads can all be adjusted and customised.
• Featuring a removable contact block, these limit switches are incredibly easy to wire up. They are designed for easy installation.
• Various conduit sizes are available allowing these limit switches to be used for different global applications.

Suitable product applications include:
• Elevators
• Scissor lifts and platform lists
• Escalators and moving stairs
• Lift trucks
• Off-road equipment
• Transportation equipment
• Commercial appliances
• Material handling equipment
• Packaging machinery
• Textile machinery
• Construction machinery
• Machine tooling equipment
• Agricultural equipment

The difference that separates the series is the housing. GLE limit switches feature 3-conduit metal housing, while the GLC series have single conduit metal housing and GLD limit switches have plastic housing.

IEC/EN 60947-5-1
While IEC/EN 609747-1 covers general rules relating to low voltage switchgear and controlgear, IEC/EN 60947-5-1 specifically relates to control circuit devices and switching elements. The standard monitors the characteristics of devices, the electrical and mechanical requirements and the functional requirements.

EN50047
GLC and GLD limit switches are constructed from housing that meets EN50047. EN50047 applies to position switches with an automatic return actuator. Models that meet EN50047 feature standardised characteristics and dimensions (30.5 x 31.1 x 68 mm).

IP 66
A rating of IP 66 ensures that the limit switch units are protected against dust and low-pressure jets of water.

Sealed to NEMA 1, 4, 12, 13
NEMA 1 states that enclosures can be used indoor and offers a degree of protection against contact with the equipment enclosed.
NEMA 4 states that enclosures can be used either indoor or outdoor and provide protection against windblown rain and dust, hose directed water and splashing water.
NEMA 12 states that enclosures are intended for use indoors and offer some protection from dust, dirt, falling dirt and dripping non-corrosive liquids.
NEMA 13 states that enclosures are used indoors and offer a level of protection from oil, non-corrosive coolants, spraying water and dust.

GLE limit switches are not safety devices. They should be not used as emergency stop or safety devices. They must not be used in applications where personal injury could occur as a result of product failure.

This limit switch from Honeywell uses a snap-action motion to trigger a change in your machine's position. It features a top roller-plunger actuator that directly controls the position upon contact with a target item, and direct-acting, NC (normally closed) contacts that open when actuated. An electrostatic, die-cast zinc epoxy coated housing is ideal for applications where a sealed system is needed. The unit is designed for easy installation and features a removable contact block for simple wiring.

• Portable 50mm length for easy installation and maintenance
• Maximum temperature of +85°C allows for use in hot environments
• Rugged zinc housing is corrosion-resistant and can withstand washdowns and vibrations
• A reliable component that has a mechanical lifetime of 15,000,000 cycles
• Ingress protection IP66 rating protects against dust entry and water splashes from any angle

• Escalators and lifts
• Construction equipment
• Manufacturing installations

The top roller plunger is attached to the head of the limit switch. When activated via an electrical signal, it plunges down into the switch body, triggering a change in the system's state such as open/close or on/off.
