What is the function of limit switches in Electric actuator?

The function of the limit switch (limit sensor) is to detect the position of the piston rod during the movement of the servo electric cylinder and to stop the movement when the set upper or lower limit position is reached. It serves as over-travel protection to avoid mechanical damage and personal injury that may be caused by the electric cylinder going out of its predetermined range.

We use limit switch to 100% protect the movement of the rod, which could be so much safer and more convenient for you to use.The limit switch can be built-in or out depending on your demand.
