About Limit Switches

Limit switches are electromechanical or solid state devices that require the physical contact of an object with the switch’s actuator to make the contacts change state. There are two main types of products: rotary and linear. Rotary limit switches use physically-actuated levers to rotate a shaft and operate the contacts in a switch, making them change state. Linear limit switches are electromechanical devices that require physical contact between a target object and switch activator to make the contacts change state. Specialty limit switches are also available.
