Heavy Duty Limit Switches & Cable Pull Switches

Honeywell’s Heavy Duty Limit Switches and Cable Pull Switches deliver precision, durability, and safety where it matters most — in the harshest industrial environments. Engineered with rugged housings, snap-action mechanisms, and multiple actuator styles, these switches stand up to impact, vibration, and extreme temperatures. Whether you’re safeguarding conveyor systems or ensuring reliable position detection in heavy machinery, Honeywell’s HDL, 1CPS, 2CPS, and 2CCP series provide consistent, repeatable performance you can trust. With global approvals and industry-proven reliability, they’re the ideal solution for demanding applications across mining, manufacturing, materials handling, and more.

Extreme Durability

Extreme Durability

Honeywell’s heavy-duty switches are engineered for performance in extreme environments. These limit switches feature die-cast metal housings and resist shock, vibration, and washdowns. The 1CPS, 2CPS, and 2CCP Cable Pull Switches add powder-coated finishes and IP67/NEMA 4 protection, ideal for mining, manufacturing, and material handling applications.

Flexible Configurations

Flexible Configurations

HDLS Limit Switches offer a wide selection of actuator types, contact arrangements, and mounting options for precise position sensing. Cable Pull Switches like the 1CPS and 2CPS series are designed for conveyor safety, offering compact footprints and various actuator positions to suit diverse layouts across industrial systems and safety zones.

Certified Protection

Certified Protection

Across both limit and cable pull ranges, Honeywell delivers certified performance with global approvals including CE, cULus, CCC, and UKCA. These switches are trusted in safety-critical applications where failure isn’t an option — whether it’s emergency stop functionality on a cable pull or position monitoring with HDLS limit switches.

Heavy-Duty Limit Switches

Honeywell MICRO SWITCH heavy-duty limit switches feature a modular construction that supports a wide variety of actuator styles, operating heads, and electrical circuitry options. Plug-in versions significantly reduce production line downtime, allowing quick replacement in seconds—only two screws are needed to attach the switching component to the wired base. Designed for demanding indoor and outdoor environments, these switches perform reliably under shock, vibration, temperature extremes, dust, and exposure to water, coolant, or hose-directed spray.

  • IP65/66/67 and NEMA 1, 3, 4, 4X, 6, 6P, 12, 13 environmental sealing – offers excellent protection in harsh indoor and outdoor conditions
  • Rugged, corrosion-resistant zinc head and body – phosphate-treated and epoxy-coated for long-lasting durability in tough environments
  • Plug-in and non plug-in bodies are interchangeable – enables fast, easy replacements without sacrificing performance or compatibility
  • Wide variety of actuators, switch options, and head styles – provides the flexibility needed to match nearly any application
  • Self-lifting pressure plate terminals – saves time during installation by simplifying wiring
  • Field-adjustable rotary heads – easily set for clockwise, counter-clockwise, or dual-direction actuation in the field

Cable Pull Switches

Honeywell’s MICRO SWITCH CPS Series Cable-Pull Safety Switches offer a cost-effective and reliable emergency stop solution for conveyor systems and automated zones. The 1CPS is ideal for shorter spans up to 76 m, while the 2CPS handles longer runs up to 152 m. With latching functionality on both pulled and slackened cables, visible tension indicators, and manual reset, these switches ensure dependable safety. Optional features like snap-action contacts and “Easy Start” mounting make installation fast, simple, and secure.

  • Direct Opening Action of NC Contacts – ensures fail-safe disconnection by mechanically forcing contacts open—critical for emergency stop functions in safety applications
  • Wide Contact Configuration Options – both 1CPS and 2CPS offer multiple NO/NC contact arrangements, supporting flexible integration with different control systems
  • Long Cable Spans – supports spans up to 76 m, with potential for longer distances depending on installation and temperature stability—ideal for extended conveyor lines
  • Bright LED Status Indicators – high-intensity LED options provide clear, visible feedback on system status. Available in both low-profile and multi-cluster formats
  • Electrostatic, Epoxy-Coated Zinc Housing – delivers robust environmental protection and durability in harsh industrial conditions
  • Large Wiring Cavity with Straight-Through Wiring – simplifies installation and maintenance, saving time during setup and service

  • Long conveyor systems found in
    warehouses and distribution centers
  • Conveyor systems with a high amount
    of vibration
  • Conveyor systems that experience
    wide temperature swings
  • Long conveyor systems where
    easy-through wiring, or highly visible
    trip status, is required
  • Perimeter guarding in hose-down
    conditions
  • Packaging equipment
  • Assembly lines

1CPS Series

The 1CPS Series Cable-Pull Safety Switch is designed for applications requiring shorter cable spans up to 76 m. It offers flexible contact configurations, compact design, and direct opening action for enhanced safety. Ideal for automated systems and zone protection, the 1CPS ensures reliable emergency stop capability with simple installation and maintenance.
