Altech Position and Limit Switches are used for the purpose of detecting end positions. These switches are increasingly assuming functions designed to protect people and products in machine equipment and plant construction. Position switches are supplied in either a plastic enclosure or a metal enclosure. Altech Plastic Position and Limit Switches provide protective insulation and are resistant to many aggressive chemicals and liquids. Altech Metal-Enclosed Position and Limit Switches are able to withstand high mechanical loads and they can also be used wherever hot metal chips and sparks occur, as well as being resistant to many solvents and detergents.
IN73 switches come in a plastic body and offer a modular, robust enclosure with a wide range of actuators made of metal. In mechanical and plant engineering, it is used as a position and safety switch in rough environments. MN78 is the metal version of the IN73 and is designed for use in very rough environments. MN78 features a modular, robust metal enclosure with a wide range of Metalast actuators. The standard IN62 switch is a basic switch. The actuators of the IN62 can handle lift/escalator applications. The standard IN65 switch is as effective as a molded plastic switch, as robust as a metal switch, and boasts a modular design with an easy-to-change actuator. The I81 position switch is the bistable version of the IN65 and acts as a latching switch.
