170-7208: 19.8mm Length Limit Switch

A limit switch is a mechanical device used to detect the presence or absence of an object within its sensing range. It contains a switch mechanism and an actuator that is activated by the object's movement or position. When the actuator comes into contact with the object, it causes the switch to change its state, either from open to closed or vice versa. In the context of a harvester head handle control, a limit switch can be incorporated to monitor the position or movement of the handle. The switch is installed in a strategic location where it can detect specific points or angles of the handle's rotation. The actuator of the limit switch can be designed to interact with the handle directly or indirectly through a mechanical linkage. Attributes: It allows for adjusting the sensitivity or activation threshold. It is durable, resistant to impact, and capable of withstanding vibration, dust, and moisture. Applications: A limit switch is used to control the travel limits of robotic arms, conveyor belts, or automated assembly lines. It is mainly used in Cat® 1090, 1190, 1190T, 1290T, 1390, 1490, 1490T, 2290, 2390, 2391, 2491, 2590, 511, 511B, 521, 521B, 522, 522B, 532, 541, 551, 552, TK1051, TK711, TK711C, TK721, TK721C, TK722, TK722C, TK732, TK732C, TK741, TK741C, TK751, TK751C, TK752 and TK752C Tree Harvester, 320D Excavators, 515, 517, 525, 525B, 527, 527B, 535B and 545 Skidder, 527 OEM Applications, 988G Wheel Loader, D5M Track Type Tractor, TA29, TH35 and TR35 Powertrains.
