Limit switches are robust, waterproof and easy to install

Global sensor specialist Telemecanique Sensors has recently brought its newest limit switch addition to the market, the XCMH. Building upon Telemecanique Sensors' respected position as a global leader in Limit Switch technology and innovation, the XCMH boasts all the advantages of its predecessor, the XCMN, but with additional benefits.

Limit switches are robust, waterproof and easy to install

The XCMH is hard wearing, waterproof and easy to install. Featuring IP66 and IP67 water resistance, its durability and robustness have been enhanced, in addition to the 5 million cycle life. A reduced cable diameter, from 6.2mm on the XCMN, to 4.2mm on the XCMH equals easy installation, with increased cable flexibility, plus there is the choice of a fixed lateral or axial cable to ensure even confined space installations are simple.

The cable composition has also decreased from 4*0.75mm2 to 4*0.34mm2, meaning a reduction in copper content and a reduced carbon footprint. Additionally, there is full consistency across the Telemecanique Sensors' limit switch range, with compatible heads.

The XCMH limit switch comes with a range of certifications for peace of mind, including CE (EN6060947-5-1); UL 508, CSA C22-2 n 14 and CCC.

Regarding suitability for industrial sectors, the new XCMH is ideal for applications within mobile equipment, material working, lifts and escalators, as well as material handling and railways.

Available through numerous distributors in the UK and Ireland, the XCMH is backed by a network of technical support.
