A push button limit switch is a crucial component in industrial control systems. It is designed to activate or deactivate machinery when a predefined limit is reached, ensuring safety and automation. These switches are commonly used in a variety of applications such as machinery, conveyors, and elevator systems.

Typically, a push button limit switch consists of a button mechanism that is pressed either manually or automatically when a moving part reaches a set position. The switch may either open or close a circuit depending on the design, providing a reliable and precise means of controlling operations.

  • Applications include factory automation, conveyor systems, and safety circuits.
  • They are designed to handle both light and heavy-duty applications depending on the specifications.
  • Incorporate mechanical, electrical, or hydraulic actuation mechanisms.

Push button limit switches ensure the safe and accurate operation of automated systems by triggering specific actions when limits are reached.
