Honeywell GLD Series Roller Lever Limit Switch, SPDT, IP66, Fibreglass Reinforced Thermoplastic Housing, 240V ac, 6A

This limit switch provides electromechanical position sensing for industrial control systems, delivering robust performance in demanding environments. It is designed for use where a compact, sealed actuator interfacing is required and is suitable for integration into machine monitoring, safety interlocks and automated equipment.

• SPDT snap-action contact for reliable single-pole switching
• Screw terminals enabling secure wiring connections
• Fibreglass reinforced thermoplastic housing for chemical resistance
• IP66 ingress protection for dust-tight and powerful water jets
• Mechanical endurance rated to 10 million cycles for long service life
• Operates from -40°C to 85°C for wide temperature range

• Suitable for conveyor end-of-travel detection in manufacturing lines
• Ideal for limit detection on lifting and positioning mechanisms
• Used with control panels requiring 240V AC switching at 6A
• Can be used for monitoring actuator travel in packaging equipment
• Suitable for outdoor enclosures needing sealed switching devices

It accepts a PG13.5 conduit entry, allowing standard threaded conduit fittings for secure cable routing.

It switches up to 240V AC at 6A and up to 250V DC for compatible DC circuits.

It uses a roller lever actuator to convert mechanical motion into switch operation for contact actuation.

Termination is via screw-type terminals, permitting tool-secured connections suitable for field wiring.

GLC and GLD 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.
