The SCHMERSAL ASH 015L-11U50X is a robust, precision-engineered limit switch from a leading manufacturer in the field of safety and automation technology. It is designed for reliable position sensing and sequence control in demanding industrial environments.

Key Features & Product Code Breakdown

The product code ASH 015L-11U50X provides specific information about the switch’s features:

• ASH: The series designation. The ASH series is known for its compact, modular design, high mechanical life, and versatility.

• 015: The housing size and type.

• L: Indicates a Left-angle Lever Actuator. This means the operating lever is mounted at a 90-degree angle to the switch body, which is crucial for understanding its mounting and actuation direction.

• 11: Identifies the specific type of lever actuator, including its length and the roller type (e.g., plastic roller, metal roller, fork lever).

• U50: This code refers to the electrical connection.

  • U: Typically signifies a pre-wired connector plug.

  • 50: Likely specifies the length of the cable (e.g., 0.5 meters).

• X: Often denotes a specific variant or special execution, which could relate to sealing, material, or internal circuitry.

Other Identifiers:

• 101057846: This is the specific Article Number or internal item number used by Schmersal or its distributors for ordering and stock-keeping.

• 4Z6: This is likely a manufacturer-specific SEO (Search Engine Optimization) code or a short product descriptor used in catalogs and web shops to help filter and find this exact product variant quickly.

Technical Specifications

• Actuation Type: Left-angle lever arm with a roller. The lever returns to its position via a spring.

• Contact Configuration: Typically, this model is supplied as 1 NO (Normally Open) and 1 NC (Normally Closed) contact (e.g., Z-13.1 configuration). Always check the datasheet for the specific variant.

• Electrical Rating: Common for ASH series: e.g., up to 10A at 250V AC.

• Degree of Protection: High ingress protection, typically IP67. This means it is dust-tight and protected against immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes, making it suitable for washdown environments and harsh conditions.

• Mechanical Life: Very high, often in the range of 10 to 30 million operating cycles, thanks to its robust construction.

• Housing Material: Made of a durable, glass-fiber reinforced thermoplastic, resistant to oils and coolants.

• Connection: Pre-wired cable with a connector plug for easy and quick installation.

Applications

This switch is ideal for applications requiring precise and reliable end-position detection or sequence control. Common uses include:

• Machine Tools: Detecting the position of slides, turrets, or doors.

• Material Handling Equipment: Position sensing on conveyor systems, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), and palletizers.

• Packaging Machinery: Controlling the movement of cams and product gates.

• Automated Assembly Lines: Ensuring robotic arms or actuators are in the correct “home” or “end” position.

• Industrial Doors & Guards: Interlocking safety applications (though specific safety-rated versions may be required for this purpose).
