MICRO SWITCH™ Global Limit Switches
GLA Series
DESCRIPTION
Honeywell’s MICRO SWITCH™ GLA Limit Switch Series is
designed to global EN50041 standards and well suited for
worldwide applications. The modular design (heads/actuators,
bodies, and contact blocks) of the limit switch allows for rapid
response to meet customer applications. The rugged die-cast
metal housing of the switch is ideal for indoor and outdoor
applications where a degree of IP or NEMA enclosure sealing
is required. Normally closed snap-action contacts and normally
closed slow-action contacts are positive opening .
VALUE TO CUSTOMERS
Easy to install and maintain
Rugged metal construction
DIFFERENTIATION
Side rotary actuator incorporates dual bearing design which
prevents side loading during operation
Removable contact block allows for ease of wiring
Modular design of limit switch (heads/actuators, bodies, and
contact blocks) allows for rapid customization and delivery
Optional 1 LED or 2 LED pilot lights in limit switch front cover
to indicate voltage present to switch and/or switch actuated
Specialty contact options, sequential (2-step style) action, and
center neutral action

PORTFOLIO
The GLA Limit Switch Series with standard or plug-in housings
(EN50041 design, with 30 mm x 60 mm mounting) complement
the smaller GLC Series, GLD Series and GLE Series (EN50047
design, with 20 mm to 22 mm mounting). The GLA Series is part
of the MICRO SWITCH™ Limit Switch Series that includes the
HDLS Series (Heavy Duty Limit Switch) and General Purpose
Limit Switch (LS) Series.
