TMSS GERMANY Telemechanique Sensors Safety Position Switch 24V XCSTE5312

The TMSS GERMANY XCSTE5312 is a safety position switch from the Preventa XCS series, engineered for reliable machine guarding. Unlike generic limit switches, it offers a snap action contact block with 1 NC + 1 NO configuration, ensuring positive opening of the safety contact for dependable stop signals.

Highlights

• Lever actuator with thermoplastic roller for smooth operation
• Compact plastic housing with IP67 protection for harsh environments
• Screw clamp terminals and Pg 11 cable entry for straightforward wiring
• Mechanical durability of 10 million cycles for long service life
• Wide operating temperature range from -25°C to 70°C

In daily use

Mount the XCSTE5312 on a fixed guard or frame, and connect the NC contact to your safety relay or controller. The roller lever follows the guard movement, and the snap action mechanism ensures a crisp, repeatable switching point. With its robust plastic body and IP67 rating, it withstands washdowns and dusty conditions, making it suitable for packaging, material handling, and assembly lines.
