Ideal for end-stop detection, position sensing, and safety interlocks, this module provides consistent performance for 3D printers, CNC machines, robotic systems, and other automated equipment.

Key Features

• High Precision: Accurate limit and position detection to ensure consistent end-stop behavior.
• Durable Construction: Built from robust materials to resist mechanical wear and provide long service life.
• Versatile Application: Works well with 3D printers, CNC machines, industrial automation, and hobby projects.
• Easy Integration: Clear connection terminals and a compact footprint simplify wiring and installation.
• Compact Size: Small form factor fits into tight mounting spaces and complex assemblies.

Specifications

• Switch Type: Mechanical limit switch (verify specific contact configuration and ratings before installation)
• Form Factor: Compact module designed for easy mounting and integration

Applications

• End-stop detection for 3D printers to define travel limits and home positions
• Position sensing in CNC machines and linear actuators
• Safety interlocks and fail-safe detection for industrial equipment
• Robotics and automated systems requiring reliable mechanical detection

Integration and Wiring

This module is designed for straightforward wiring with clear terminals. Typical integration tips:

• Connect the switch terminals to your controller inputs (use pull-up or pull-down resistors as required by your firmware).
• Confirm the contact type (normally open, normally closed, or SPDT) before wiring to match your control logic.
• Use shielded or twisted cables for long wiring runs to reduce electrical noise and false triggers.
• Test the switch response in firmware with debouncing or filtering enabled to avoid chatter.

Mounting and Installation Tips

• Mount the switch on a stable bracket to ensure repeatable actuation points.
• Adjust actuator position or lever length for crisp, reliable triggers without over-travel.
• Protect the switch from direct impact or excessive vibration to extend service life.
• Verify mechanical alignment after initial installs and perform a few manual cycles before running automated routines.

Troubleshooting

• No trigger detected: check wiring, confirm input is enabled in firmware, and verify switch contacts with a multimeter.
• Intermittent triggers: add or adjust debouncing in software, check for cable noise, and secure loose connections.
• Mechanical wear or sticking: inspect the actuator and lever; replace the switch if contacts are worn.
