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.
• 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

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 CCC, CSA, CE, and UL
acceptance
• 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).
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
