Precision Multiple Limit Switches
In 1952, EUCHNER developed and introduced the world’s first Multiple Limit Switch. It was seen as a breakthrough in modern automation technology. Today, EUCHNER Precision Multiple Limit Switches are used for the control and positioning of all kinds of automated machinery and industrial equipment. Euchner offers a variety of plunger styles and housings including DIN versions to meet your design needs. Both horizontal and vertical plunger arrangements are available. Snap-action and slow-action switching elements can be specified. Positive break safety contacts and LED status indicators are also available, as well as exterior diaphragms designed to resist the effects of resinous cooling lubricants, fuels and hydraulic fluids. These switches are manufactured with high-grade materials and strict quality control to offer years of worry free operation. Our latest innovation, the RGCS, features a replaceable plunger head assembly to eliminate re-adjustment of the switch during servicing. This reduces downtime and replacement costs.
