Honeywell GLC Series Roller Lever Limit Switch, SPDT, IP66, Die Cast Zinc Housing, 240V ac, 10A

This limit switch provides Compact mechanical position sensing for industrial control and automation tasks. It uses a roller lever actuator to detect movement and delivers a rapid-change electrical output suitable for control circuits. Housed in an electrostatic epoxy-coated zinc enclosure with an IP66 rating, it is designed for use where dust and water ingress resistance is required while operating across a wide ambient temperature range.

• Snap-action contacts provide fast switching response and reduced contact bounce
• 1NC and 1NO contact arrangement allows flexible circuit configurations
• Rated for 10A switching current for mid-power control loads
• Operates on 240V AC and 250V DC for AC and DC system compatibility
• Mechanical life of 15,000,000 operations reduces maintenance interventions
• Operating torque of 0.12 Nm enables sensitive actuation with low force

• Suitable for position feedback on conveyor indexing systems
• Ideal for detecting end-of-travel in linear actuators and slide mechanisms
• Used for door and guard monitoring in machine safety interlocks
• Can be used for limit detection in packaging and material handling equipment
• Suitable for retrofit control panel integration requiring robust ingress protection

The device accepts 0.5 to 14 NPT conduit fittings to accommodate common industrial cable glands and conduit sizes.

It is designed for side mounting to suit installations where lateral actuation and a Compact footprint are required.

It is specified to operate between −40°C and 85°C, covering cold storage and elevated ambient environments.

It meets UL, CE, CCC and CSA approvals to align with multiple international electrical and safety requirements.

The housing is finished with an electrostatic epoxy coating over zinc to resist corrosion and mechanical wear.

UL/ UL listed for Canada

GLC and GLD limit switches are not safety devices. They should be not used as emergency stop or safety devices. They must not be used in applications where personal injury could occur as a result of product failure.

IEC/EN 60947-5-1
While IEC/EN 609747-1 covers general rules relating to low voltage switchgear and controlgear, IEC/EN 60947-5-1 specifically relates to control circuit devices and switching elements. The standard monitors the characteristics of devices, the electrical and mechanical requirements and the functional requirements.

EN50047
GLC and GLD limit switches are constructed from housing that meets EN50047. EN50047 applies to position switches with an automatic return actuator. Models that meet EN50047 feature standardised characteristics and dimensions (30.5 x 31.1 x 68 mm).

IP 66
A rating of IP 66 ensures that the limit switch units are protected against dust and low-pressure jets of water.

Sealed to NEMA 1, 4, 12, 13
NEMA 1 states that enclosures can be used indoor and offers a degree of protection against contact with the equipment enclosed.
NEMA 4 states that enclosures can be used either indoor or outdoor and provide protection against windblown rain and dust, hose directed water and splashing water.
NEMA 12 states that enclosures are intended for use indoors and offer some protection from dust, dirt, falling dirt and dripping non-corrosive liquids.
NEMA 13 states that enclosures are used indoors and offer a level of protection from oil, non-corrosive coolants, spraying water and dust.
