IP67 Rating

Typical applications: On guard doors where key alignment has proved to be a real problem and cannot be solved by key operated switches. The user needs to differentiate mission critical safety components on the machine from regular sensors

UL, CSA

Use this limit switch from Honeywell to automate the opening and closing of guard doors in your industrial systems. It has a snap-action roller actuator that offers a quick reaction to object detection, making it useful as both a control and safety device. The switch's die-cast zinc body is resistant to impact and corrosion, so it's a practical choice for use in harsh environments.

• IP67 rating means it's dustproof and protected against immersion in up to 1m of water for 30 minutes
• Broad operating temperature range of -25°C to +85°C for use in demanding environments

• Elevators and escalators
• Overhead garage doors
• Machine tool equipment

This limit switch has compact dimensions of 145.8 (length) x 42 (width) x 55.9mm (depth), making it suitable for installation in areas with limited space.
