Honeywell LS Series Side Roller Limit Switch, SPDT, IP67, Die Cast Zinc Housing, 480V, 10A

Honeywell Series LS Limit Switch, Side Roller Actuator, IP67 - 6LS2-L

This limit switch is a Compact mechanical device designed to detect and control linear or rotary motion within industrial control systems. It uses a side-mounted roller actuator to convert physical movement into an electrical signal for control circuits and is intended for environments where a small footprint and robust enclosure are required.

Features and Benefits:

• Die-cast zinc housing provides robust corrosion resistance and longevity
  IP67 protection allows use in wet or dusty conditions
  SPDT snap-action contact offers reliable single-pole switching performance
  Operates between -29°C and 71°C to suit varied thermal environments
  0.5–14 NPT conduit entry simplifies secure electrical connection
  Side mounting permits versatile installation in constrained spaces

Applications

• Suitable for position sensing on conveyor guide rails
  Ideal for limit detection on industrial packaging machinery
  Used with automated Gates and doors for end-of-travel control
  Can be used for safety interlocks on assembly-line equipment
  Suitable for retrofit sensing in existing mechanical systems

What mounting orientation does it require for correct operation?

It is designed for side mounting, so the actuator and switch body are installed laterally relative to the target movement.

How does the contact arrangement affect control wiring?

The single-pole double-throw contact allows one common Terminal to switch between two circuits, enabling simple changeover or signalling configurations.

Which approvals indicate conformity to recognised standards?

The device holds approvals from RoHS, CSA and UL, demonstrating compliance with hazardous substance limits and recognised safety/test standards.

What actuator form factor should be selected for rolling contacts?

A side roller actuator is fitted to Interface with moving parts that provide linear or tangential contact, reducing friction and wear.

How Compact is the unit for tight installations?

The device offers a Compact profile with a small depth and reduced length to suit confined mounting locations.
