Honeywell GLD Series Limit Switch, 14N Operating Force, IP66 - GLDB06B


This limit switch is a Compact plunger actuator designed for detecting mechanical movement and providing electrical switching in industrial control systems. It is built for panel or machinery mounting where a small, robust switch is required to signal position changes or end-of-travel events within automated and electromechanical equipment.

Features and Benefits:


• DPST slow-action contacts provide reliable dual-circuit switching
• 10A switching current supports common control and load circuits
• Operates across -40°C to 85°C for wide ambient ranges
• Fibreglass-reinforced thermoplastic housing offers Durable protection
• Screw-terminal connections enable secure, field-friendly wiring
• 14N operating force allows precise actuation without excessive load

Applications


• Suitable for conveyor end-of-travel detection in material handling
• Ideal for machine-tool position sensing in manufacturing cells
• Used with safety interlocks on access panels and guards
• Can be used for limit feedback on linear actuators
• Suitable for relay and control circuit switching in panels

What environmental protection does it provide for dusty or wet locations?


The enclosure carries an IP66 rating, which means it resists dust ingress and powerful water jets, allowing installation in washdown or exposed areas when correctly mounted.

How long can the switch operate under mechanical cycling?


The mechanical life cycle is specified at 10 million cycles, indicating suitability for high-frequency switching applications.

What conduit and wiring options are available for entry and terminations?


Conduit entry is provided as PG13.5, and electrical connections are via screw terminals suitable for standard control wiring.

Which electrical ratings determine compatibility with AC and DC circuits?


It is rated for switching AC at 240V and DC up to 250V, enabling use across typical industrial control voltages.

What materials affect its suitability in corrosive or high-wear settings?


The body is MADE from fibreglass-reinforced thermoplastic, chosen for mechanical resilience and resistance to many industrial environments.

Warning

GLC and GLD 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.

Standards

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.
