FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about PL Series switches
What is a limit switch?
A limit switch is a small electrical switch that is triggered when a moving part makes contact with it. This signals a machine that something has reached the end of its travel, or moved to a certain position. Simply put, it helps a machine understand “stop,” “start,” or “change direction.”
Where are limit switches used?
Many machines and systems use limit switches. You see them in elevators, conveyor belts, doors, lifts, machines in factories, packaging machines and safety systems. They are used for motion control, position sensing and machine protection.
Which industries use heavy duty limit switches?
The best manufacturer is one with proven experience, a wide range of IP ratings and enclosures, tested quality and good technical support. Bohmen India has made industrial limit switches for over 40 years and supplies OEMs and heavy industries in India and 25 countries.
Who is the best limit switch manufacturer in India?
Heavy duty limit switches are used in industries where machines work in harsh conditions. These industries include manufacturing, steel plants, mining, construction, oil & gas, power plants, and material handling.Heavy duty limit switches are made to handle dust, water, heat, vibration, and rough use.
What IP rating do I need for a limit switch?
Use IP65 for most factory floors and IP67 for wet, dusty or harsh conditions. IP43 is enough only for clean, dry indoor spaces. Bohmen’s GL, BL and ML series cover IP43, IP65 and IP67.
What is IP65 vs IP67?
Difference between Slow and SNAP Action?
Slow action moves contacts gradually, while snap action provides rapid switching for high reliability.
