• Type: Momentary limit switch with a spring-loaded roller lever actuator.
• Operation:
• When an object or mechanism bumps into the roller lever, it moves and actuates the internal contacts.
• Depending on wiring, the switch can function as Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC).
• Design:
• Roller lever reduces friction and wear, enabling smooth actuation.
• Durable body (often metal or reinforced plastic) for long service life.
• Rating: Commonly 5A–10A at 250V AC (varies by model).
• Mounting: Panel or chassis mount for integration in machines and robotics.

Applications

• Industrial Machinery: Position detection, safety interlock, and travel limits of moving parts.
• Robotics: Used as a bump sensor to detect obstacles or boundaries.
• Conveyor Systems: Detects material presence, jam conditions, or end-of-travel.
• Elevators & Lifts: Position sensing and mechanical safety cutoff.
• Home Appliances: Found in washing machines, microwaves, and other appliances for door detection.
• DIY Projects: Often used with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and robotics kits as collision or limit sensors.
