The TLS171 limit switch is a compact microswitch travel switch designed to provide reliable endoftravel sensing in equipment and automation systems. It converts mechanical actuation from a moving part into an electrical signal so control circuits can respond promptly. The TLS171 is suitable where precise travel detection is required and space is limited. Key benefits Reliable endoftravel signaling to improve control accuracy and reduce machine downtime. Quick, repeatable actuation with minimal false trips in varying operating conditions. Flexible installation options with multiple actuator configurations and mounting patterns. Durable construction with variants that support metal or thermoplastic housings for different environmental needs. Easy integration with standard control circuits and automation systems; exact electrical ratings and outputs depend on the TLS171 variant. Key attributes Functionality: endoftravel sensing using a microswitch mechanism; actuated by a plunger or lever depending on the variant. Compatibility: designed to work with common control and PLCbased systems; verify the specific TLS171 variant for terminal configuration and electrical rating. Size: compact form factor suitable for tight spaces and compact installations. Material: housing options typically include metal or durable thermoplastic; variantspecific materials and sealing options may apply. Performance: intended for reliable switching and longterm use in industrial environments; actual performance and lifecycle depend on configuration and operating conditions. Configuration: TLS171 variants may offer different actuator types, mounting options, and electrical configurations; consult the datasheet for exact specifications. Two to three use cases Endoftravel detection on a CNC machine axis (such as X or Y) to terminate travel and trigger a control sequence. Safety interlock or guarding door sensing on manufacturing equipment to ensure machinery stops when access is opened. Position sensing in a conveyor or automated assembly line to trigger nextstage operations or item counting. Notes Exact specifications, including electrical ratings, actuator options, mounting patterns, and housing materials, vary by TLS171 variant. Please consult the TLS171 datasheet or product selector for the precise configuration you require.
