Honeywell GLC Series and GLD Series Limit Switches The GLC series and GLD series of limit switches from Honeywell are a compact and versatile solution. The small size of the unit allows you to use them in applications and environments with a limited amount of space. These limit switches are constructed from rugged housing and can operate in severe environments. Features: • Control of two separate circuits is maintained by galvanically isolated contacts. • The NC (normally closed) contacts are direct acting, ensuring they open when actuated. • GLC and GLD limit switches offer circuit flexibility. • The use of a dual bearing design for the side rotary actuators enhances the mechanical life of the unit while reducing die loading. • Able to withstand wash downs, shock and vibrations. • Reliable and accurate. • Wide operating temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C. • 20 mm to 22 mm mounting holes. Benefits: • These limit switches offer an excellent lifespan up to 10 million operations. • The actuators or heads can be positioned at increments of 90°. This offers you incredible flexibility with your designs and allows you to use these limit switches for a range of environments or applications. • The side rotary actuator heads can be set for the actuation to be clockwise, anti clockwise or both. • You can easily customise this range of limit switches due to the modular design of the unit. Bodies, contact blocks and heads can all be adjusted and customised. • Featuring a removable contact block, these limit switches are incredibly easy to wire up. They are designed for easy installation. • Various conduit sizes are available allowing these limit switches to be used for global applications. Product Applications: Suitable product applications include: • Elevators • Scissor lifts and platform lists • Escalators and moving stairs • Lift trucks • Off-road equipment • Transportation equipment • Commercial appliances • Material handling equipment • Packaging machinery • Textile machinery • Construction machinery • Machine tooling equipment • Agricultural equipment What is the difference between the GLC series and the GLD series? Although models have difference in actuator type, switch type and torque, the main difference between the GLC and GLD series is the housing material. GLC limit switches have a metal housing while GLD limit switches are constructed with plastic housing.
