Smaller, Smallest Limit Switches, Save Big $

2010-03-03 - At only 16mm wide and 5 ounces, ABB’s LS2 series of limit switches offers the same trusted performance in a miniature package. To save time and labor, each switch comes fully-assembled and prewired with a choice of 5 cable lengths. Positive switch opening mechanism provides reliable safer operation> Choose from NEMA 1, 4, 4x, or 6 rated enclosures. . . . Read more

 

LS2.. family of miniature limit switches are fully assembled to save time (ordering, and installation time) and therefore labor cost. They can be modified in the field with a screwdriver if needed. They are prewired to eliminate confusion selecting the correct cable gland. Prewired limit switches do not require a cable gland. Metal casing offer reliable operation in harsh industrial an raw material environments: dirt/dust, hose-directed water, temporary submersion, and occasional ice. Their small size allows them to fit into smallest of applications, tight places, while retaining the same functionality/performance of a standard size product range. Positive opening contacts in addition to snap-action feature helps ensure opening of even a welded contact; applies force directly to a NC contact, even if it is not opened by the snap action mechanism.
