MICRO SWITCH Global Miniature Limit Switches
GLC | GLD | GLE Series
DESCRIPTION
Honeywell MICRO SWITCH GLS miniature limit switch family
offers a wide range of products for global solutions. These
durable and reliable limit switches are suitable for many industrial
applications, agriculture equipment, transportation equipment,
and other applications requiring an environmentally sealed (IP
and NEMA) switch.
The compact housings are often ideal for equipment where
space is at a premium. The extensive product range is available
in three different housing types; metal housing, plastic housing
or a three conduit metal housing which are mounting compatible
to EN50047. A wide range of actuators, contact blocks, and
conduit/connectivity options enhance the product offering.
In today’s demanding age of logic-level controls,
electromechanical switches are frequently used to interface
with PLCs and other logic level devices. GLS limit switches offer
an option for gold-plated contacts for the standard switch. This
option promotes the switch reliability for logic-level applications.
VALUE TO CUSTOMERS
• Meets EN50047 mounting standards and EN/IEC electrical
standards for world-wide use
• Large existing install base and channel allows for quick
delivery worldwide
• Wide range of actuators and circuitry options in same
footprint
• Certified for global use with CCC1, CSA, CE, and UL
acceptance
DIFFERENTIATION
• Modular design of limit switch (heads/actuators, bodies, and
contact blocks) allows for rapid customization and delivery
• Removable contact block for wiring ease
• Galvanically isolated contacts for controlling two separate
circuits
FEATURES
• Designed to EN50047 standard
• Metal housing or double-insulated plastic housing for indoor
and outdoor applications
• Wide range of actuator heads and levers
• Heads can be positioned at 90° increments for design
flexibility. Side rotary actuator heads can be factory set for CW,
CCW, or CW and CCW actuation
• Certified for global applications: CE, UL, CSA, CCC1
• Conforms to CE, EN50047, IEC/EN 60947-5-1; CSA C22.2 #14;
UL 508; CCC1 GB14048.5, EN45545-2 (GLC/GLE)
• Sealed to IP66 and NEMA/UL 1, 4, 12, and 13
• -40 °C [-40 °F] standard construction for side rotary and
plunger actuated switches suitable for many severe outdoor
environments
• Dual bearing design on side rotary actuators reduces side
loading and enhances mechanical life
• Variety of NC and NO double-break snap-action or slow-
action contact options
• Silver contacts for power switching or gold-plated contacts for
low energy loads
• Normally closed contacts are positive opening , and
conform to EN/IEC 60947-5-1-3 to provide forced opening of
the normally closed contact. Each contact throw is electrically
isolated to accept different voltages (Form Zb contacts).
Double pole double throw (2NC/2NO) contact option require
same polarity for each pole. (Form Za for each pole)
• Contact blocks are available as snap action or slow action
• Mechanical life up to 10 million operations
POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS
• Passenger elevators
• Commerical appliances
• Escalators/moving stairs
• Scissor/platform lifts
• Material handling
• Machine tool equipment
• Off-road equipment
PORTFOLIO
The GLC Series, GLD Series, and GLE Series are a segment
of Honeywell’s global limit switch offering. The global limit
switch products also include the GLA Series, the GLL Series,
the NGC Series, and SZL-VL series. In addition to the global
limit switch series, Honeywell provides a comprehensive line
of medium duty industrial limit switches (CE Series, E6/V6
Series, LS Series) and heavy-duty HDLS Series (Heavy Duty
Limit Switch).
1CCC certification is not available on the GL Series Switches sold within
Europe, Middle East, and Africa. Option for CCC certification in these
regions is available upon request.
