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

This limit switch provides a Compact electromechanical actuation solution for industrial control and safety applications, employing a metal roller actuator to detect position changes and trigger switching functions in machinery and equipment. It is designed for use where a robust enclosure and reliable snap-action contacts are required in demanding environments.

• Die cast zinc housing delivers mechanical robustness and impact resistance
• DPDT snap‑action contacts allow changeover switching and circuit flexibility
• Rated switching current of 6A supports moderate load switching
• Sealed to IP67 for protection against dust and temporary immersion
• Mechanical endurance of 10 million cycles minimises maintenance frequency
• Operating range from −40 °C to 85 °C enables wide environmental deployment

• Suitable for conveyor end‑of‑travel detection in manufacturing lines
• Ideal for position sensing on industrial presses and cutters
• Used with automated Gates and barriers for limit detection
• Can be used for actuation feedback on material handling equipment

The unit accepts a PG13.5 conduit gland for secure cable routing and strain relief.

The metal roller actuator provides lateral contact engagement and tolerates misalignment when mounted in standard orientations requiring rolling contact.

The contacts are suitable for switching AC circuits up to 240V and DC circuits up to 250V within the specified current rating.

Certification includes CCC, CE, CSA and UL, supporting installation in jurisdictions recognising those standards.

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.
