Aplikácia
Range of application
Position switches are used where moving parts of machines and industrial plants have to be positioned, controlled and monitored.
The various application fields, ranging from fine mechanics to heavy-duty machinery, require different materials, electrical capacity and quality criteria regarding construction and design.
Design and operating principle
Many of the position switches fulfil the requirements of the IEC60947-5-1 standard and can therefore also be used as positionswitches with safety function. These products are identified by the symbol 
for positive break.
Some position switches fulfil the requirements for standardisedswitches to DIN EN 50 047. The position switches are available withsnap and slow action and can be supplied with a metal roller on request. A large variety of actuators complete the program.
The devices are listed in the order of enclosure dimensions and materials, starting with the smallest and the plastic enclosures.
All position switches shown in this chapter bear the CE mark acccording to the low Voltage Directive 06/95/EC.
