Model ME8166 is a momentary limit switch with a flexible rod coil spring actuator. It provides a precise, momentary switch action for control circuits and automation equipment. The actuator combines a flexible rod with a coil spring to enable reliable engagement and quick after actuation. Rated for 5A at 250VAC, this switch supports common industrial loads in a compact form. The package contains one piece. Key benefits Reliable momentary signaling: gives a brief electrical contact when the actuator is engaged, ideal for endoftravel sensing and control triggers. Flexible actuator design: the rigid yet bendable rod allows access in tight or awkward spaces without requiring a rigid mounting orientation. Simple integration: designed for standard electrical control circuits with a 5A/250VAC rating, enabling straightforward replacement or retrofits. Compact and practical: compact footprint helps when space is limited in control panels and equipment housings. Predictable action: coil spring actuator ensures fast, repeatable reset after actuation, reducing cycle times and wear. Key attributes Model: ME8166 Type: Flexible rod coil spring actuator momentary limit switch Action: Momentary (nonlatching) Electrical rating: 5A at 250VAC Package: 1 piece Function: Controls switch for position sensing and control signal generation in electrical control circuits Compatibility: Suitable for use in standard automation and control applications requiring a momentary input Applications and use cases Endoftravel detection on conveyors or packaging lines to trigger downstream processes or shut off a motor. Position sensing in robotics or CNC equipment to initiate homing, calibration, or jog sequences. Control panel input where a nonlatching momentary signal is needed to start or reset a sequence in automation systems.
