That flexibility makes it a favourite for CNC axis end-stops and 3D printer limit switches, where the exact approach angle can vary run to run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-xs-6\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eActuator\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-xs-6\"\u003e9mm plastic rod lever\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-xs-6\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContact\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-xs-6\"\u003e1NO+1NC, snap action\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-xs-6\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-xs-6\"\u003eMetal, IP65 protection\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-xs-6\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-xs-6\"\u003eTS EN 60947-5-1, UL 508, VDE 0660\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-xs-6\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCable Entry\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-xs-6\"\u003ePG13.5 \/ M20x1.5 optional gland\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-xs-6\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContact Block\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-xs-6\"\u003eChangeable\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this suitable for CNC machines or 3D printers?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes — the flexible rod actuator is a popular choice for CNC axis end-stops and 3D printer limit switches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the rod be approached from any angle?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes — the rod lever design allows variable-angle actuation, unlike a fixed roller arm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the body durable despite the plastic rod?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes — the switch body itself is metal and IP65 rated; only the rod actuator is plastic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat contact configuration does it give me?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n1NO+1NC on a changeable contact block, so you can wire whichever function your circuit needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIndustry Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCNC machine axis end-stops\u003c\/strong\u003e — reliable limit detection regardless of approach angle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3D printer \u0026amp; light machine building\u003c\/strong\u003e — a common choice for hobbyist and small-scale automation projects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable-angle component detection\u003c\/strong\u003e — applications where a fixed roller arm can't guarantee consistent contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"EMAS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57462487155061,"sku":"L51K13ROP101","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0501\/5794\/5002\/files\/L51K13ROP101_20_1.jpg?v=1788597465","url":"https:\/\/www.production-automation.co.uk\/products\/emas-l51k13rop101-9mm-plastic-rod-lever-snap-action-limit-switch-1no-1nc-ip65","provider":"Production Automation","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
