Wireless Global
Limit Switch (EN 50041)
Limitless™ Switch
DESCRIPTION
The new Limitless™ product line combines the best of MICRO
SWITCH™ global limit switches with the latest commercial off-
the-shelf wireless technology. Wireless-enabled limit switches
can now be used for position sensing and presence/absence
detection for an endless number of applications.
The Limitless™ Series is especially beneficial for remote
monitoring applications where wiring or wire maintenance is
not physically possible or economically feasible. Combining
this greater flexibility with proven harsh duty packaging can
result in increased efficiencies and improved safety for
machines, equipment, OEMs, and operators.
