Schneider Limit Switch

On paper, a Limit Switch may seem like an insignificant item; however, in an industrial facility, it is critical to the moment the motion must stop. The timing is important; if the limit switch stops the conveyor just a few millimeters too late, the conveyor will hit the stopper, and if it stops too early, the production will slow significantly. We manufacture Schneider Limit Switches, and we understand the practical side of that as we are an industrial supply company.

Schneider Limit Switch assemblies are available for a variety of applications, including machine tools, material handling systems, packaging lines and automated equipment. All assemblies go through an extensive inspection process to ensure each limit switch has the correct mechanical accuracy, the actuators move smoothly and the contacts are reliable. We also verify the strength of the housing because most field conditions are not clean; therefore, dust, oil mist, vibration and a high frequency of operation cycles are common conditions found in industrial environments throughout the United States.

Each of the contact blocks is subjected to repeated actuation testing to determine their stability while switching. After applying torque, all terminal points are tested and visually inspected for possible loose connections after installation. All mounting alignment will be checked to help reduce false triggering.

Limit Switches are frequently used where the feedback of the position is critical to the safety of the operation and sequencing of the machine. Our limit switches are compatible with the most common types of industrial control panels and PLC systems used in the United States.

We concentrate on building reliable devices and not just looking at the specification sheets. After installing the limit switch, it should always work without the need for adjustments. This is the basic expectation, and we build toward that expectation.
