Spamel LK167 Limit Switch 1NO 1NC Metal and Plastic with Spring Lever

The Spamel LK167 limit switch is a reliable industrial component designed for precise position detection and end-of-travel monitoring. Featuring a robust construction that combines metal and plastic materials, this switch is built to withstand demanding operational environments. It is equipped with a versatile spring lever actuator, allowing for flexible installation and reliable mechanical interaction in various automated systems.

Advantages

The primary benefit of the Spamel LK167 lies in its durable housing, which provides a balance between structural strength and environmental resistance. The inclusion of both 1NO and 1NC contacts offers significant flexibility for integration into diverse control circuits, enabling both normally open and normally closed logic configurations. The spring lever mechanism ensures consistent and repeatable actuation, which is essential for maintaining accuracy in machinery control and industrial automation processes.

Suitable for

• Industrial automation systems
• Machinery position monitoring
• End-of-travel detection for moving parts
• Control panels and electrical equipment

When it may not be suitable

This limit switch may not be appropriate for environments with extreme chemical exposure or high-pressure washdown requirements where specialized IP-rated enclosures are mandatory. Additionally, it is not designed for high-speed applications that exceed the mechanical frequency limits of the spring lever actuator.

Key specifications

• Contact configuration: 1NO and 1NC
• Actuator type: Spring lever
• Housing material: Metal and plastic
• Function: Position detection and limit monitoring

How to use

Installation should be performed by qualified personnel in accordance with local electrical safety standards. The switch should be mounted securely to a stable surface, ensuring that the spring lever is positioned to make contact with the moving part of the machinery at the desired trigger point. Wiring should be connected to the terminals according to the required logic, ensuring that the cable entry points are properly sealed to maintain the integrity of the housing.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the mechanical travel distance required for your specific application
• Ensure the electrical ratings match your control circuit requirements
• Check the mounting dimensions for compatibility with your existing equipment

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the spring lever for mechanical wear and ensure that the housing remains free of debris or obstructions that could impede the switch's operation. Periodically test the electrical continuity of the contacts to confirm reliable performance.
