What ratings are limit switches available in?

Limit switches are available in pilot, power, and motor-rated categories because these ratings correspond to the specific applications and capabilities of the switches. Pilot-rated limit switches are designed for controlling low-power circuits, making them ideal for signals and control operations. Power-rated limit switches are suitable for higher power applications, allowing them to handle greater loads. Motor-rated limit switches are specifically designed for use with electric motors, ensuring they can manage the electrical demands and operational requirements of motor-driven equipment.

This classification helps technicians choose the appropriate limit switch for a given application, ensuring safety and functionality. Understanding these ratings is critical for ensuring efficient operation and longevity of the equipment being serviced.
