  • The figures in the diagram represent steady-state currents.
  • Inductive loads have a power factor of 0.4 or more (alternating current) and a time constant of 7 ms or less (direct current).
  • The lamp load is assumed to have an inrush current of 10 times.
  • The motor load current is assumed to have an inrush current of 6 times.

The stroke in the direction of rotation is large, ranging from 45° to 90°, and the lever can be adjusted to any angle of 360°, making it easy to use. There are also high-sensitivity types (high-precision PT small) and wide-angle types (OT large). It is widely used from positioning to work detection.

Taking advantage of the characteristics of the roller lever type, it is a type that allows detection of the operating object in a wide range, and the length of the lever can be adjusted.
Variable Rod Lever Type
(-R)
bigbigmiddle★★★★★★
★★
It is convenient when the range of movement is wide or the shape is uneven, and it operates most sensitively among the rotation-type limit switches. Rod length adjustment and bending processing are also easy.
Fork Lever Lock Type
(-FL)

When operated to the 55° position, it rotates on its own and maintains the state after operation. It operates reciprocally by a single dog, and the type in which the roller positions are crossed can be operated by two dogs.
Roller Plunger Type

In addition to the cam, dog, and cylinder, a wide range of operations are possible by installing an auxiliary actuator. It has high accuracy in position detection.
Spring Wire Type
(-SW)
middlebigcowIt can be operated in any 360° direction by eliminating the axis direction. The operating force is the lowest among limit switches, and it is effective in detecting cases where the direction or shape is uneven. Since the movement after operation is absorbed by the actuator, the movement value for the workpiece movement is also large.

It has high accuracy in position detection when operating by hydraulic pressure, air cylinder, etc. (Pay attention to the movement of the operating body so that no unbalanced load is applied to the plunger.)
