Spamel LK168 Limit Switch 1NO 1NC Metal/Plastic Spring Lever

The Spamel LK168 limit switch is a high-quality electromechanical device designed for precise position detection and control within industrial automation and electrical systems. Featuring a robust construction that combines metal and plastic components, this switch offers a reliable solution for monitoring the movement of machinery and equipment. It is equipped with a spring lever actuator, which provides flexibility and durability during repeated mechanical contact, ensuring consistent performance in demanding operational environments.

Advantages

The primary advantage of the Spamel LK168 is its versatile contact configuration, which includes one normally open and one normally closed contact, allowing for flexible integration into various control circuits. The hybrid housing design balances structural integrity with lightweight properties, making it suitable for diverse mounting conditions. The spring lever actuator is specifically engineered to absorb mechanical impact, reducing wear and tear on the internal switching mechanism and extending the overall service life of the component.

Suitable for

• Industrial automation systems
• Position monitoring of moving machine parts
• Safety interlock applications
• Conveyor belt control systems
• Electrical control panels

This limit switch may not be suitable for environments with extreme chemical exposure or high-pressure washdown requirements where specialized IP-rated enclosures are mandatory. It is also not intended for high-current power switching applications, as it is designed primarily for control signal circuits.

Key specifications

• Contact configuration: 1NO (normally open) and 1NC (normally closed)
• Actuator type: Spring lever
• Housing material: Metal and plastic
• Application: Industrial control and automation

To use the Spamel LK168, mount the device securely to a stable surface using the provided mounting points, ensuring the spring lever is positioned to make contact with the target object at the desired trigger point. Connect the electrical leads to the appropriate terminals according to your circuit diagram, ensuring that the normally open or normally closed contacts are wired to match your control logic requirements. Verify that the lever movement is smooth and does not exceed the mechanical limits of the actuator.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the physical dimensions to ensure compatibility with your mounting space
• Confirm that the spring lever travel distance matches your mechanical trigger requirements
• Check that the electrical load is within the rated capacity of the switch

For optimal reliability, perform periodic inspections of the spring lever to ensure it remains free of debris and that the mounting hardware remains tight. Avoid applying excessive force to the lever beyond its intended travel range to prevent internal mechanical damage.
