General Information Precision single limit switches EUCHNER precision single limit switches are technically precise control switches which have been developed on the basis of practical requirements in close collaboration with machine tool manufacturers. The use of high-quality materials, the interplay of sophisticated technology and practically oriented design guarantee operation under even the toughest conditions. EUCHNER precision single limit switches are used for positioning and controlling machines and in industrial installations. The different designs, with a choice of five different types of plunger, and easy adjustability from longitudinal to transverse actuation offer the user a broad range of individual possible applications. Precision single hole fixing limit switches with reed contact or snap-action switching element EUCHNER precision single hole fixing limit switches are technically sophisticated control switches which have been proving their reliability, day in and day out, for decades in harsh industrial applications. These mechanically actuated precision single hole fixing limit switches are IP 67 rated and are entirely maintenance-free. EUCHNER precision single hole fixing limit switches feature a thread on the upper part and can thus be inserted or screwed through the mounting hole either from the cable end or from the actuator end. Setting the position of the operating point opposite the part of the machine to be sensed is easy with this thread. The compact overall size and the round type of construction allow installation directly at the sensing points. This feature dispenses with the complicated levers or linkages associated with a high level of design complexity and expense. Inductive single limit switches Inductive single limit switches are used for positioning and control in all areas of mechanical and systems engineering and systems engineering such as for automation tasks in the wood, textile and plastic industry. Due to their non-contact and thus wear-free principle of operation, inductive single limit switches are insensitive to heavy vibration, heavy soiling and have an above average mechanical life even in aggressive ambient conditions. Interchangeability with mechanical single limit switches means that it is possible to straightforwardly modify machines. The switches can therefore be retrofitted on existing machine installations to take full advantage of the benefits of non-contact switches.
