LXW511N1 3A Limit Switch with Long Lever Arm SPDT Snap Action 1 Piece Product overview This LXW511N1 limit switch provides reliable position detection with a long lever arm and snap action mechanism. It is a single pole double throw contact configuration rated for 3A, supplied as one piece. The switch is designed for straightforward integration into control systems where precise mechanical actuation and repeatable switching are required. Key benefits Precise, repeatable switching: Snap action mechanism ensures a fast, decisive transition between contacts for consistent performance over many cycles. Flexible actuation: Long lever arm increases reach and allows actuation by small movements or remote cams, reducing the need for precise alignment. SPDT versatility: Single pole double throw contacts let you wire normally open or normally closed circuits depending on application needs. Suitable for low power control circuits: 3A current rating is appropriate for a wide range of control and signallevel applications. Simple replacement and retrofit: Standard limit switch form factor makes it easy to install in existing machines and projects. What it does and how it helps Detects mechanical position or travel end points and converts motion into an electrical signal for control systems. Prevents overtravel by signaling controllers or stopping actuators when a set position is reached. Provides a dependable input for automation, safety interlocks, and machine sequencing when precise actuation is needed. Key specifications Model: LXW511N1 Quantity: 1 piece Contact configuration: SPDT (single pole double throw) Action: Snap action Lever: Long lever arm Rated current: 3A Typical applications Conveyor systems: Use as an end stop or part detector to stop or reroute material when items reach a defined position. CNC, milling, and 3D printers: Serve as a limit or home switch for axis position sensing and homing routines. Industrial machinery and automation: Integrate into control panels for position feedback, safety interlocks, and sequence control. Installation tips Confirm mounting orientation and lever travel to ensure the long arm contacts the actuating surface cleanly. Match the switch wiring to the desired normally open or normally closed function based on control logic. Use within the rated electrical limits and for appropriate low to moderate current control circuits. This LXW511N1 limit switch offers a practical, straightforward solution for position sensing and low power control needs where reliable snap action and a long lever arm are required.
