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

This limit switch provides reliable mechanical position sensing for industrial automation and control systems. Designed for robust environments, it uses a roller lever actuator to detect movement and translate mechanical motion into electrical switching, suitable for integration with control circuits operating up to standard mains voltages.

• Snap-action contacts deliver fast make-and-break switching for precise control
• Four-contact arrangement offers flexible circuit wiring options for control
• IP66 enclosure prevents dust ingress and high-pressure water exposure
• Die-cast zinc body gives Durable protection against mechanical hazards
• Wide temperature tolerance supports operation from -40°C to 85°C
• Long mechanical life of 10 million cycles reduces maintenance frequency

• Suitable for position detection on conveyor transfer points
• Ideal for limit sensing on industrial gate and door actuators
• Used with motor control systems for end-of-travel detection
• Can be used for machine-tool safety interlocks in manufacturing
• Suitable for packaging equipment cycle-count monitoring

It provides two normally open and two normally closed contacts to allow multiple control logic configurations and redundant switching schemes.

The device is rated to switch AC up to 240V and handle currents up to 6A for typical control and signalling loads.

A PG13.5 threaded conduit entry is provided to accept standard conduit glands and maintain enclosure integrity.

A roller lever actuator is mounted to convert linear or rotary motion into a switching action suitable for cam or contact applications.

It carries international conformity marks from recognised certification bodies for use in authorised electrical installations.

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.
