Honeywell GLE Series Nylon Roller Limit Switch, DPST, IP67, Die Cast Zinc Epoxy Coated Housing, 240V ac, 6A

This limit switch is a Compact mechanical device used to detect position changes and actuate control circuits in industrial systems. It is designed for reliable signalling in equipment where a rolling actuator is required and where environmental sealing is essential for continued operation.

• Die-cast zinc housing provides robust environmental protection and durability
• Nylon roller actuator reduces wear and enables smooth mechanical engagement
• IP67 rating permits operation in wet and dusty conditions
• DPST slow-action contacts support straightforward circuit switching
• Rated switching current of 6A allows moderate load control without additional relays
• Mechanical life of 10 million cycles minimises replacement frequency

• Suitable for end-of-travel detection on conveyor systems
• Ideal for position sensing in packaging machinery
• Used with valve actuation assemblies requiring positive open/close signalling
• Can be used for limit detection in industrial door and gate systems

Terminations use screw terminals that accept standard control wiring and permit secure connections for AC or DC circuits.

A PG13.5 conduit entry is provided to route cable glands or conduit fittings while maintaining enclosure integrity.

It operates across a wide thermal range from −40 °C up to 85 °C to suit cold-room or warm-process environments.

The required operating torque is 0.11 N·m, enabling activation with low mechanical effort while preventing nuisance trips.

The contacts are specified for switching at AC 240V and DC 250V to accommodate common control and signalling voltages.

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.
