Honeywell GLE Series Roller Plunger Limit Switch, 2 NO/2 NC, IP66, Die Cast Zinc Housing, 240V ac, 6A

This limit switch provides a compact, industrial-grade method for detecting mechanical movement and initiating control actions in automation and electrical systems. It is designed for side mounting and suited to environments where a robust actuator and sealed enclosure are required. The unit employs a roller plunger actuator and a snap-action contact mechanism to deliver rapid, repeatable switching for control circuits.

• 2NO2NC contact arrangement delivers versatile circuit configurations
• IP66 enclosure rating protects against dust and powerful water jets
• 13N actuation force enables consistent operation with moderate input loads
• 240V AC 6A switching capacity supports common control voltages
• Mechanical life rated 10,000,000 cycles ensures extended duty performance

• Suitable for conveyor position detection in automated lines
• Ideal for machine tool limit sensing and end-stop detection
• Used with control panels requiring Compact position feedback switches
• Can be used for safety interlocks in assembly equipment

The unit uses a PG13.5 thread for conduit entry to simplify wiring and gland fitting in industrial installations.

The housing is formed from zinc and finished with an electrostatic epoxy coating to resist corrosion and surface wear.

It operates between -40°C and 85°C, enabling use across a wide span of ambient conditions.

Contacts employ a snap-action mechanism for fast make/break switching to reduce contact bounce during transitions.

It carries CSA, CCC, CE and UL approvals, evidencing adherence to several international standards.

UL/ UL listed for Canada

GLE limit switches are not safety devices. They should be not used as emergency stop or safety devices. They must not be used in applications where personal injury could occur as a result of product failure.

IEC/EN 60947-5-1
While IEC/EN 609747-1 covers general rules relating to low voltage switchgear and controlgear, IEC/EN 60947-5-1 specifically relates to control circuit devices and switching elements. The standard monitors the characteristics of devices, the electrical and mechanical requirements and the functional requirements.

EN50047
GLC and GLD limit switches are constructed from housing that meets EN50047. EN50047 applies to position switches with an automatic return actuator. Models that meet EN50047 feature standardised characteristics and dimensions (30.5 x 31.1 x 68 mm).

IP 66
A rating of IP 66 ensures that the limit switch units are protected against dust and low-pressure jets of water.

Sealed to NEMA 1, 4, 12, 13
NEMA 1 states that enclosures can be used indoor and offers a degree of protection against contact with the equipment enclosed.
NEMA 4 states that enclosures can be used either indoor or outdoor and provide protection against windblown rain and dust, hose directed water and splashing water.
NEMA 12 states that enclosures are intended for use indoors and offer some protection from dust, dirt, falling dirt and dripping non-corrosive liquids.
NEMA 13 states that enclosures are used indoors and offer a level of protection from oil, non-corrosive coolants, spraying water and dust.
