Limit Switch
A limit switch is an electromechanical device that opens or closes a circuit when it reaches a predetermined position.
They are commonly used in industrial machinery and automation systems to control the movement of actuators, such as motors, valves, and conveyor belts.
- Limit switches can be activated by mechanical force, such as a lever or push button.
- They can also be activated by electrical signals.
When the limit switch reaches its predetermined position, it changes the state of the circuit, either opening or closing it. This change in the circuit state triggers an action, such as stopping a motor or activating a safety mechanism.
