Key Features & Specifications

• Product Type: Mechanical Limit Switch / Position Switch

• Manufacturer Brand: Telemecanique (Schneider Electric)

• Model: XCK-M

• Actuator Type: Roller Lever (ZCK D21)

  • The “ZCK D21” denotes a specific roller lever actuator type, which is ideal for sensing the position of cams, machine parts, or products from a side-to-side motion.

• Standard: EN 60947-5-1

  • This is the European standard for control circuit devices and switching elements, guaranteeing its compliance with strict safety and performance requirements.

• Contact Configuration: Typically 1 NO + 1 NC (Normally Open + Normally Closed). Specific contact blocks can vary.

• Electrical Rating: Designed for control circuits. Common ratings are up to 600V and 10A, but the exact rating depends on the specific contact block used.

• Housing: Robust metal or high-grade plastic enclosure, offering a high degree of protection, commonly IP65 or higher.

  • IP65 Rating: “Dust-tight” and protected against water jets from any direction, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments with dust, chips, and coolants.

• Mechanical Life: Extremely high, often in the millions of cycles, due to its robust construction.

• Termination: Screw terminals for secure and reliable wiring.

Applications & Common Uses

The XCK-M limit switch is used across various industries to detect the presence or position of a machine part and send a control signal to a PLC, relay, or motor starter.

• Machine Tooling: Detecting the end of travel for slides, turrets, and tool changers.

• Material Handling: Position sensing on conveyor systems, automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), and palletizers.

• Packaging Machinery: Verifying the position of cams, arms, and filling heads.

• Automated Assembly Lines: Ensuring components are in the correct position before a process begins.

• Door & Gate Control: Interlocking and position feedback for industrial doors, guards, and elevators.
