GLCC06D Honeywell Compact Limit Switch

The Honeywell GLCC06D is a limit switch from the GLC series. It’s an electromechanical device designed to detect the presence or absence of an object in a specific area. These switches are renowned for their robust construction and reliability, making them a cornerstone in industrial automation and control systems. The GLCC06D features a roller-style actuator and is housed in a durable metal case, making it suitable for a wide range of demanding environments.

Product Parameters

• Model Name: GLCC06D
• Product Type: Heavy-Duty Limit Switch (GLC Series)
• Actuator Style: Roller

Product Advantages

• Durability and Reliability: The GLCC06D is built to last with a robust zinc die-cast housing and a dual-bearing design on the actuator, which significantly extends its mechanical life to up to 10 million operations.
• Environmental Protection: With an IP66 rating and multiple NEMA ratings (1, 4, 12, 13), the switch is highly resistant to dust, water, and oil, making it ideal for harsh industrial environments, including wash-down areas.
• Flexibility: The modular design of the GLC series allows for easy customization of bodies, contact blocks, and actuator heads. The roller actuator can be configured for clockwise, counter-clockwise, or both directions of actuation.
• Ease of Installation: The removable contact block simplifies wiring, while various conduit sizes and a compact design allow for easy integration into different systems and space-constrained applications.

Precautions

• Electrical Safety: Always ensure that power is disconnected before installing or servicing the limit switch to prevent electric shock.
• Proper Mounting: Mount the switch securely to a rigid, stable surface to ensure accurate and repeatable sensing. Improper mounting can lead to false triggers or damage to the unit.
• Actuator Alignment: Make sure the object interacting with the roller actuator is properly aligned. Misalignment can cause premature wear and tear on the actuator, shortening the switch’s lifespan.
• Wiring: Use the appropriate wiring size and type for the rated current and voltage. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent shorts or intermittent faults.

Product Applications

The Honeywell GLCC06D is a versatile and robust limit switch used in a wide range of industrial and commercial applications that require reliable position sensing. Common applications include:

• Material Handling: Detecting the position of conveyors, sorting systems, and robotic arms.
• Machine Tools: Monitoring the movement of machine parts for safety interlocks and process control.
• Packaging Machinery: Ensuring proper positioning of products and components during the packaging process.
• Construction and Agricultural Equipment: Providing feedback on the position of booms, levers, and other moving parts.
• Elevators and Escalators: Used for safety and control, such as detecting the position of doors or ensuring a car is at the correct floor.
