Honeywell MICRO SWITCH GLS miniature limit switch family offers a wide range of products for global solutions. These durable and reliable limit switches are suitable for many industrial applications, agriculture equipment, transportation equipment, and other applications requiring an environmentally sealed (IP and NEMA) switch. The compact housings are often ideal for equipment where space is at a premium.
The extensive product range is available in three different housing types; metal housing, plastic housing or a three conduit metal housing which are mounting compatible to EN50047. A wide range of actuators, contact blocks, and conduit/connectivity options enhance the product offering.
In today's demanding age of logic-level controls, electromechanical switches are frequently used to interface with PLCs and other logic level devices. GLS limit switches offer an option for gold-plated contacts for the standard switch. This option promotes the switch reliability for logic-level applications.
VALUE TO CUSTOMERS
• Meets EN50047 mounting standards and EN/IEC electrical standards for world-wide use
• Large existing install base and channel allows for quick delivery worldwide
• Wide range of actuators and circuitry options in same footprint
• Certified for global use with CCC1, CSA, CE, and UL acceptance
DIFFERENTIATION
• Modular design of limit switch (heads/actuators, bodies, and contact blocks) allows for rapid customization and delivery
• Removable contact block for wiring ease
• Galvanically isolated contacts for controlling two separate circuits
FEATURES
• Designed to EN50047 standard
• Metal housing or double-insulated plastic housing for indoor and outdoor applications
• Wide range of actuator heads and levers
• Heads can be positioned at 90° increments for design flexibility. Side rotary actuator heads can be factory set for CW, CCW, or CW and CCW actuation
• Certified for global applications: CE, UL, CSA, CCC1
• Conforms to CE, EN50047, IEC/EN 60947-5-1; CSA C22.2 #14; UL 508; CCC1 GB14048.5, EN45545-2 (GLC/GLE)
• Sealed to IP66 and NEMA/UL 1, 4, 12, and 13
• -40 °C [-40 °F] standard construction for side rotary and plunger actuated switches suitable for many severe outdoor environments
• Dual bearing design on side rotary actuators reduces side loading and enhances mechanical life
• Variety of NC and NO double-break snap-action or slowaction contact options
• Silver contacts for power switching or gold-plated contacts for low energy loads
• Normally closed contacts are positive opening , and conform to EN/IEC 60947-5-1-3 to provide forced opening of the normally closed contact. Each contact throw is electrically isolated to accept different voltages (Form Zb contacts). Double pole double throw (2NC/2NO) contact option require same polarity for each pole. (Form Za for each pole)
• Contact blocks are available as snap action or slow action
• Mechanical life up to 10 million operations
POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS
• Passenger elevators
• Commerical appliances
• Escalators/moving stairs
• Scissor/platform lifts
• Material handling
• Machine tool equipment
• Off-road equipment
