For safe operation of guard doors in industrial and commercial settings, choose this limit switch from Honeywell. Its accurate position and object detection ensures that automated doors close and open properly and in the right position. This switch's red colour means it's easy to spot in a crowded setup and makes it readily identifiable as a safety device. Thanks to the epoxy-coated zinc housing, this unit is resistant to impact and corrosion, making it suitable for use in harsh environments.

• IP67 rating indicates it's dustproof and protected against submersion in 1m of water for up to 30 minutes
• Low switching current of 600mA for energy efficiency

• Platform lifts
• Agricultural equipment
• Marine industry

This limit switch has a broad operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for use in demanding environments.
