Honeywell GLE Series Roller Lever Limit Switch, DPDT, IP67, Die Cast Zinc Epoxy Coated Housing, 240V ac, 6A

This limit switch provides a rugged electromechanical end‑point detector for industrial control systems, using a roller‑lever actuator to convert mechanical motion into an electrical change. It is intended for installation where robust switching and environmental protection are required, offering snap‑action contacts for Rapid state change and compatibility with common control voltages.

• Dual‑pole changeover contacts delivering flexible circuit control
• Snap‑action mechanism ensuring quick, repeatable switching
• Die‑cast zinc enclosure giving enhanced impact resistance
• Rated for 6A switching at 240V AC for standard control circuits
• Sealed to IP67 for protection against dust and temporary immersion
• Mechanical endurance of 10 million cycles for long service life

• Suitable for conveyor end‑of‑travel detection in factory automation
• Ideal for machine‑tool limit detection on sliding assemblies
• Used with actuator arms for position sensing in materials handling
• Can be used for safety interlocks where environmental sealing is needed

A PG13.5 threaded conduit entry is provided to accept compatible cable glands and conduit fittings.

It operates across a thermal span from −40°C up to 85°C for use in cold and moderately hot environments.

The roller‑lever requires an operating force of 10 N to initiate the snap‑action transition of the contacts.

The housing is formed from die‑cast zinc, which combines rigidity with resistance to mechanical wear.

It is certified to UL, CSA, CE and CCC standards relevant to electrical safety and performance.

GLE limit switches are not safety devices. They should be not used as emergency stop or safety devices. They must not be used in applications where personal injury could occur as a result of product failure.

IEC/EN 60947-5-1
While IEC/EN 609747-1 covers general rules relating to low voltage switchgear and controlgear, IEC/EN 60947-5-1 specifically relates to control circuit devices and switching elements. The standard monitors the characteristics of devices, the electrical and mechanical requirements and the functional requirements.

EN50047
GLC and GLD limit switches are constructed from housing that meets EN50047. EN50047 applies to position switches with an automatic return actuator. Models that meet EN50047 feature standardised characteristics and dimensions (30.5 x 31.1 x 68 mm).

IP 66
A rating of IP 66 ensures that the limit switch units are protected against dust and low-pressure jets of water.

Sealed to NEMA 1, 4, 12, 13
NEMA 1 states that enclosures can be used indoor and offers a degree of protection against contact with the equipment enclosed.
NEMA 4 states that enclosures can be used either indoor or outdoor and provide protection against windblown rain and dust, hose directed water and splashing water.
NEMA 12 states that enclosures are intended for use indoors and offer some protection from dust, dirt, falling dirt and dripping non-corrosive liquids.
NEMA 13 states that enclosures are used indoors and offer a level of protection from oil, non-corrosive coolants, spraying water and dust.
