    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_switch

    In electrical engineering, a limit switch is a switch operated by the motion of a machine part or the presence of an object. A limit switch can be used for controlling machinery as part of a control system, as a safety interlock, or as a counter enumerating objects passing a point. [1]

  3. What is the Function of Limit Switch? A limit switch is an electro-mechanical device used to send an electrical signal based on a physical interaction . Limit Switches are used to detect the presence of objects, thus allowing the system to take desired action.

    A limit switch is an electro-mechanical device that is operated when an external force is applied to it. Limit switches are used in a system to detect when an external object is present or not. They can be used as part of a safety system or in a system to trigger actions.

  5. Limit switches are electromechanical devices consisting of an actuator mechanically linked to an electrical switch. When an object contacts the actuator, the switch will operate causing an electrical connection to make or break.

  6. A limit switch is an electromechanical device to detect the presence or absence of an object, or to monitor and indicate whether the movement limits of that object have been exceeded. These switches are used in industrial control applications to control machinery and processes, often for safety.

    Mechanical limit switches are contact sensing devices widely used for detecting the presence or position of objects in industrial applications. The term limit switch is derived from the operation of the device it-self. As an object (or target) makes contact with the operator of the switch, it eventually

    A limit switch is an electromechanical device used to detect the presence or absence of an object or the position of a mechanical component. It operates by physical or non-contact interaction with a moving object, causing a change in its internal contacts, which either opens or closes the circuit.

  9. Understanding What is Limit Switches: Functionality and Features
