Spamel LK169 Limit Switch, 1NO 1NC, Metal and Plastic, Spring Lever

The Spamel LK169 limit switch is a high-quality electromechanical device engineered for industrial automation and control applications. It serves as a critical component for detecting the presence, position, or travel limit of moving parts within machinery. Featuring a robust combination of metal and plastic housing, this switch is built to withstand demanding operational environments while providing consistent performance. The integrated spring lever actuator ensures responsive and precise switching, making it a dependable choice for safety and control circuits.

Advantages

This limit switch offers exceptional durability due to its reinforced housing, which protects internal components from mechanical stress and environmental factors. The inclusion of both 1NO and 1NC contacts provides versatile wiring options, allowing for flexible integration into various control logic systems. Its spring lever design allows for smooth operation even when subjected to repeated physical contact, ensuring long-term reliability and reduced maintenance requirements in automated production lines.

Suitable for

• Industrial automation systems
• Monitoring position of conveyor belts
• Safety interlock circuits for machinery
• Control panels and electrical installations
• Detection of moving mechanical components

This device may not be suitable for environments with extreme corrosive chemicals or high-pressure washdown requirements where specialized IP-rated enclosures are mandatory. It is also not intended for high-voltage power switching applications beyond its rated electrical capacity.

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 LK169, mount the switch securely to a stable surface using the provided mounting points, ensuring the spring lever is positioned to make contact with the moving object at the desired trigger point. Connect the electrical leads to the 1NO and 1NC terminals according to your circuit diagram. Verify that the lever movement is unobstructed and that the switch triggers correctly during a test cycle before putting the machinery into full operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the physical dimensions to ensure compatibility with your mounting space
• Check that the electrical load matches the switch contact ratings
• Ensure the spring lever travel distance is appropriate for your specific mechanical application

For optimal performance and longevity, ensure the switch is installed in a location protected from excessive debris accumulation and verify that the mechanical force applied to the lever does not exceed the manufacturer's recommended limits.
