Siemens 3SE5112-0BE01 Position Switch

The position switch, also known as limit switch or microswitch, with type number 3SE5112-0BE01 from Siemens is an electrical switch for the precise detection of the position or presence of objects in industrial applications. It has the dimensions 6 x 6 x 12 cm and weighs 0.3 kg. Position switches are used to detect the position or presence of machine parts, workpieces, or other objects and to generate corresponding electrical signals. They serve to control and monitor motion sequences in industrial systems. Typical applications are found in automation technology for monitoring door positions, for end-position control of linear axes, or for object detection on conveyor belts. They are indispensable in mechanical engineering, for example, for controlling forklifts or ensuring the correct positioning of tools in machining centers.
