Professional-Grade Limit Switch for Precise Position Control and Machine Safety

The Telemecanique XCR series is a renowned line of rugged limit switches designed in France for industrial automation. This specific model is engineered to provide reliable detection and control of mechanical movement in the most demanding environments. As a “deviation switch,” it is perfectly suited for applications like conveyor belt misalignment tracking, crane end-of-travel safety, and position verification on automated machinery.

Operating on a universal AC voltage range of 15 to 240V, this switch offers exceptional flexibility for integration into various control systems. Built to the highest standards, the XCR ensures long-term durability, operational safety, and consistent performance, making it a trusted component in factories and plants worldwide.

Key Features & Benefits

• Robust Metal Housing: The die-cast zinc or aluminum body provides excellent resistance to impact, corrosion, and harsh industrial conditions, ensuring longevity.

• Precise Position Detection: The switch offers accurate and repeatable actuation, critical for controlling machine cycles and ensuring processes stop or start at the exact required point.

• Sealed for Protection: Features a high IP (Ingress Protection) rating (typically IP65, IP66, or IP67), making it dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets. This allows for reliable operation in wet, dusty, or oily environments.

• Versatile Actuator Options: Available with various actuator types (e.g., roller lever, plunger) to suit different mechanical actuation needs and mounting configurations.

• Clear Visual Indication: Equipped with a highly visible status indicator (mechanical flag) for quick on-site confirmation of the switch’s state, simplifying maintenance and troubleshooting.

• Trusted Telemecanique Quality: As part of the Schneider Electric brand family, this switch is synonymous with reliability, safety, and global technical support.
