Honeywell Technologies GLD Series Coil Spring Limit Switch, 1 NO/1 NC, IP66, Fibreglass Reinforced Thermoplastic

This limit switch is a Compact industrial device designed to detect mechanical movement and provide snap-action electrical switching in control systems. It is intended for use where robust environmental protection and clear changeover signalling are required, offering a small footprint and Coil spring actuation suitable for automated equipment and machinery.

• IP66 enclosure provides dust-tight and powerful water protection
• Fibreglass reinforced thermoplastic housing increases environmental resistance
• 1 NO/1 NC snap action contact offers decisive switching changeover
• Mechanical life of10000000cycles supports extended service intervals
• Operating force of1.3N yields precise actuation with low input effort
• Switching capacity of240V AC at6A handles common control loads

• Suitable for position sensing on conveyor systems
• Ideal for end-of-travel detection on pneumatic actuators
• Used for limit detection in packaging machinery
• Can be used for safety interlocks in panel-mounted installations
• Used with control relays in motor starter circuits

It functions across a span from-40°C up to85°C, allowing use in cold storage and warm production environments.

A PG13.5 conduit entry accepts standard threaded cable glands for secure cable routing.

It carries approvals to UL, CSA, CE and CCC standards for international industrial compliance.

The snap-action contacts provide Rapid transition between circuits to minimise arcing and contact wear.

GLC and GLD 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.
