drylin® E proximity switch - limit and reference switch with polymer housing

The proximity switch, also known as a limit or reference switch, is used to limit and protect the travel length of linear axes with a power amplifier combination. They are also indispensable for homing with incremental encoders. In the igus® product portfolio, proximity switches are divided into closers (NO) and openers (NC). The closer is open when it is idle, and the contact closes when it is actuated. With openers this is the other way around. Furthermore, a distinction is made between the PNP and NPN switching output. The positive pole is switched at the PNP output and the negative pole is switched at the NPN output. In addition, you can choose between an M8 connector and a 2m cable. The 30cm M8 version can be extended with 3m, 5m and 10m.
