In mechanical single position limit switches without positive opening, a telescoping plunger executes the switching process. With its help, a mechanical switching element is switched in a separate sealed chamber. The optimal choice of the plunger shape in combination with our cams is decided by the application requirements. This guarantees a long service life for your application.

Do you value reliable switching even with welded contacts? Then equip your safety functions such as emergency stops or limit stops with Balluff safety switches. Their switching process is triggered by a
rigid plunger that actuates a mechanical switching element with forcible opening. If this plunger moves, it breaks the contact. Your reliable, safe choice.
Do you value reliable and safe switching even with welded contacts? Then equip your safety functions such as emergency stops or limit stops with Balluff safety switches. Their switching process is triggered by a rigid plunger that actuates a mechanical switching element with forcible opening. If this plunger moves, it breaks the contact. Good to know: the number of safety switch positions in a single multiple position switch is arbitrary and can also be combined with standard switching elements.
Safety switching elements are not feasible due to the design, especially with mechanical single position limit switches in smaller configurations. In contrast, solutions with positive opening already exist. In these, the switching process is triggered by a rigid plunger that actuates a mechanical switching element with forcible opening. However, should this plunger move, it breaks the contact. This means that you have reliable control of switching processes even with welded contacts.

Our inductive single position limit switches combine the advantages of an inductive sensor with those of our mechanical housing-based line of products by carrying over their robust housings and using a reliable inductive switching element for the switching function. As a result, you benefit from compact configurations and high switching distances, which enable non-contacting and thus wear-free operation. And since the switching elements are equipped with LEDs, you can immediately recognize each switching function on the housing cover.

By carrying over their robust housings and using a reliable inductive switching element for the switching function. As a result, you benefit from compact configurations and high switching distances, which enable non-contacting and thus wear-free operation. The coordinated transmission frequencies of the inductive switching elements allow for a tight sequential arrangement. And since the switching elements are equipped with LEDs, you can immediately recognize each switching function on the housing cover.
Our mechanical multiple position limit switch with interchangeable unit are available for standard applications as well as with safety switch positions for increased requirements. With them, the entire switch does not have to be removed to replace individual plungers. Loosening of two screws is enough to remove the plunger unit. This saves you time and money.
A special switching element and a sophisticated plunger design characterize mechanical position limit switches for extended temperature ranges. They are suitable for operating temperatures of up to 180 °C. Ideal for harsh environments in mold making in the plastics industries as well as in steel and iron works.
