Product Short Description
Product Name: GLE Series Metal Roller Limit Switch
Overview: The Honeywell GLEB01A1B is a heavy-duty industrial limit switch with a metal roller actuator, DPDT snap-action contacts, and an IP67-rated die-cast zinc epoxy-coated housing. It provides a robust electromechanical actuation solution for position detection in demanding environments.
Description
Technical Specifications:
- Actuator Type: Metal roller (side rotary)

- Country of Origin: Great Britain
Key Features:
- Die-cast zinc housing for mechanical robustness and impact resistance
- DPDT snap-action contacts for changeover switching and circuit flexibility
- 6 A switching current for moderate load switching
- IP67 sealed enclosure for dust and temporary immersion protection
- 10 million cycle mechanical life minimizes maintenance frequency
- Wide operating temperature range (-40 °C to +85 °C)
Application Scenarios: Conveyor end-of-travel detection in manufacturing lines, position sensing on industrial presses and cutters, actuation feedback on automated gates and barriers, material handling equipment limit detection.
Working Principle: The metal roller actuator detects lateral position changes via rolling contact. When the actuator reaches its trip point, the internal snap-action mechanism rapidly changes the DPDT contact state, providing a clean electrical signal transition for machine control or safety interlock circuits.
Installation & Notes:
- Use PG13.5 conduit gland for secure cable routing and strain relief
- The roller actuator provides lateral contact engagement and tolerates misalignment when mounted in standard orientations requiring rolling contact
- Can switch AC circuits up to 240 V and DC circuits up to 250 V within the 6 A rating
- Not certified for hazardous area use
- UL/CSA/CE/CCC compliant for regulated installations
