Adjustable Rod Limit Switch 1NO 1NC IP65 5A AZ-8107 Auspicious

The Auspicious AZ-8107 is an adjustable rod limit switch built for the positions a fixed lever cannot reach. Instead of a short rigid arm, it uses a thin flexible rod that you set to the length and angle the job needs. Mount the switch where there is space, then bring the rod across to where the moving part actually passes.

That adjustability solves a common site problem. On retrofits and tight machine frames, the switch rarely fits exactly where the target is. A plain lever forces you to move the switch, add a bracket or machine a new cam. An adjustable rod lets you bridge the gap in a few seconds with a spanner, and the 90 degree actuator travel means the rod can be deflected from either side.

The rod also suits targets that are irregular, soft or easily marked. Because it bends rather than driving straight onto the part, it picks up contact without the hard push a plunger needs. Rated 5A at 250V AC and 0.4A at 125V DC with one NO and one NC contact, it drives control circuits and PLC inputs. IP65 sealing with dust proof, oil tight construction and stainless steel internals keeps coolant and swarf out. UL and CE approvals cover it for export machinery.

Common Applications

Retrofit installations where the switch cannot sit next to the target, detecting lightweight or easily marked parts, textile and paper machines sensing a web or thread, carriage and slide position on machine tools, door and guard detection with uneven closing edges, packaging line part presence, and any awkward mounting position where a fixed lever would need a custom bracket.

Choosing the Right Limit Switch Actuator

The actuator choice comes down to how the moving part reaches the switch and how hard it arrives. A rod suits awkward geometry and light contact. Where a cam slides repeatedly across the same point, the adjustable roller lever limit switch AZ-8108 adds a roller that cuts wear while keeping the same 5A IP65 body and adjustability.

For straight, repeatable travel in a fixed position, the lever limit switch AZ-7120 is a cheaper compact side mount option. Where the part presses straight down and the current is higher, the roller plunger limit switch AM-1308 handles 15A. For approach from any direction, or where an overrun would bend a rigid actuator, the spring limit switch AZ-8166 flexes and recovers. On heavy plant such as lifts and cranes, the big wheel limit switch AZ-5108L gives a wide contact face with IP67 sealing, and the cross roller plunger limit switch ME-8122 accepts angled push.

FAQ,s

What is an adjustable rod limit switch?

It is a limit switch with a thin rod as the actuator instead of a fixed lever. The rod length and angle can be set on site, so the switch can detect a part that sits away from where the body is mounted.

When should I use a rod instead of a roller lever?

Use a rod when the target is hard to reach, irregular, or too light to push a roller properly. Use a roller lever when a cam slides across the same spot repeatedly, since the roller handles that wear better.

What does 1NO 1NC mean?

One normally open and one normally closed contact. When the rod is deflected, the NO closes and the NC opens, giving a position signal and an interlock from one device.

Can the rod be shortened?

Yes. The rod is adjustable for length and angle, so it can be set to suit the installation.

Is IP65 enough for a machine shop?

Yes. IP65 is dust tight and resists low pressure water jets, and the oil tight construction with stainless steel internals handles coolant and swarf.

Can it connect to a PLC?

Yes. The 0.4A 125V DC rating covers standard 24V DC PLC inputs, and the 5A 250V AC rating allows direct AC control switching.
