People Electric · Travel Limit Switch
Product overview
People Electric HL travel switches detect mechanical movement for stroke, direction or speed-change control circuits. Six documented actuator configurations cover roller arms, an adjustable rod, plungers and a spring rod. Match actuator geometry and travel to the machine, then confirm the exact contact arrangement and electrical load.

Actuator selection does not replace checking the complete ordered contact configuration, operating direction and mounting drawing. Confirm contact arrangement, required switching duty, travel and installation conditions before ordering; Ith 5A is distinct from the AC-15/DC-13 operating-current ratings.
Typical applications
- Mechanical end-position and stroke detection on industrial equipment.
- Machine control for direction or speed changes using an appropriate actuator and control circuit.
