Honeywell Technologies GLE Series Plunger Limit Switch, 1 NO/1 NC, IP67, Die Cast Zinc Epoxy Coated Housing, 50V

This limit switch is a plunger-operated industrial switch designed for harsh operating environments where precise mechanical position sensing is required. It provides rapid, tactile contact actuation for automation and control tasks, and is intended for installations that demand a sealed enclosure and snap‑action contacts.

• IP67 sealed housing permits use in wet and dusty environments
• Die‑cast zinc body offers robust mechanical protection
• 1NO1NC snap‑action contacts enable fast, distinct switching
• Rated for 24V DC operation to suit low‑voltage control circuits
• Operates between −40 °C and 85 °C for wide temperature ranges
• Mechanical life of 15 million cycles reduces maintenance downtime

• Suitable for conveyor end‑of‑travel detection in factories
• Ideal for limit sensing on packaging and material‑handling machinery
• Used for position feedback on motorised actuators and valves
• Can be used for safety interlocks on access panels and guards

It accepts a PG13.5 conduit entry to simplify sealed cable installations.

The snap‑action mechanism gives a fast transfer between contacts, minimising contact arcing and improving repeatable switching thresholds.

The unit meets multiple international standards including UL, CE, CCC, CSA and IEC/EN 60947‑5‑1 for electromagnetic and safety performance.

The body depth is 30mm with overall length 60mm and width 65mm to assist layout planning in confined assemblies.

The die‑cast zinc housing combines rigidity with resistance to mechanical wear, supporting the specified high‑cycle life.

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.
