14CE Series Miniature Limit Switches The 14CE series of limit switches from Honeywell form part of their miniature limit switches range. This series is compact, precise and highly versatile. They have been designed for use in a wide range of environments. A choice of actuator ensures that you will be able to find the right limit switch to meet your application. Features: • 14CE limit switches have gang mounting capability. • A range of different cable lengths are available. • These limit switches feature a wide operating temperature range of -40 °C to +75 °C. • Excellent mechanical life up to 10 million operations for standard plungers and actuators. Wobble stick or cat whisker actuators have a life span of 5 million operations. Benefits: • 14CE limit switches are ideal for applications with limited space. They have a compact design and feature 25 mm mounting centres. The mounting holes for screwing the limit switch into place are counter-bored. This means that the screw heads fit within the housing of the unit, and no additional real estate is required when mounting the switch.
• Installation of 14CE limit switches is quick and easy. Each unit only requires two M5 screws for mounting. Pre-leaded cables and M12 connectors also help to minimise installation time.
• This series offers a great deal of design flexibility. You can choose the most appropriate cable length and whether the cable or connector exits the unit at the side or bottom. These switches are supplied with an M12 four-pin connector or are pre-leaded with Cenelec cable.
• Utilising the gang mounting capability, you can build your own multiple plunger switch using models with a pin plunger or roller plunger.
• 14CE limit switches are constructed with diecast zinc housing. Each unit within the 14CE series incorporates a fluorocarbon sealing diaphragm that offers protection and enhances reliability. An epoxy sealant has also been used to encapsulate the cable, connector and switch. The factory sealing and sealant protects the integrity of the limit switch and you can trust this limit switch to perform consistently and accurately within the most rugged environments. They will function as expected in environments where petrol, water based or synthetic fluids are present. Applications: 14CE limit switches are incredibly versatile and can be used in extreme temperature and harsh environments. Example product applications include:

Machine tools: You can use 14CE limit switches to detect tools, or the location of pieces or parts on a CNC tool.

Off-road equipment: 14CE models can be used in crane booms (crane jibs) as a cab door switch.

Material handling: 14CE limit switches can be utilised in vehicle wash systems and forklift trucks. They are ideal for use within dock locks for trucks and trailers.

Textile and print trade machinery: Applications include tensioning, sensing of roll sizes, controlling panels and gates.

Access and mobility solutions: Stairway and vehicle wheelchair lifts use 14CE switches, to monitor movement.

Robotics: This series of limit switch can control the limits of robotic arm movements.

Packaging equipment: Applications include tensioning and roll size sensing. 14CE limit switches can be used on stretch pallet wrapping equipment.

Agricultural machinery: Example applications include grain and livestock equipment.
