Position switches are mechanical actuating elements that are used to monitor the position of moving parts in machines and systems. Once the defined component has reached its specified end position, this is recognised by sensors. They trigger a signal that causes an electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic or mechanical action.
Also known as limit switches, the intelligent elements are available in numerous designs such as limit switches, proximity switches or safety switches. Position switches can therefore cover a wide range of applications - from simple position detection to safety monitoring in automation systems, conveyor systems and in the manufacturing industry.
