Overview
A limit switch is a piece of electromechanical equipment that’s made up of an actuator connected to a series of contacts. These contacts allow the limit switch to detect the presence and proximity or absence of a material or object, usually in industrial settings. Based on what the contact detects, the sensor moves an actuator, which in turn changes the state of an electrical circuit. This movement signals that some preset ‘limit’ has been reached.
Applications
- Mechanical industries
- Electronic appliances
- Garage doors.
