Lever Limit Switch Side Mount 1NO 1NC 10A AZ-7120 Auspicious

The Auspicious AZ-7120 is a lever limit switch in a compact side mount body, built to detect the position of a moving part and switch a control circuit when that part arrives. A cam, dog or machine carriage pushes the lever, the internal contacts change over, and the signal tells the controller to stop, reverse or start the next step.

The lever actuator is what makes this model easy to apply. It reaches out to meet the moving part rather than needing a direct push onto a plunger, so it tolerates small alignment errors and works with approach from the side. The horizontal mounting lets it sit flat along a machine frame or guide rail where a front facing switch would not fit.

One normally open and one normally closed contact give both signal types from a single device, so it can confirm a position and interlock another function at the same time. Rated 10A at 250VAC and 0.5A at 125VDC, it handles AC control circuits directly and low current DC signals into a PLC. The oil tight and waterproof body suits machine tools, conveyors and outdoor equipment where coolant, dust and moisture are part of daily running.

• 10A 250VAC rating for direct AC control switching

• 0.5A 125VDC rating for DC signals into PLCs

• Wide operating speed range from 0.01mm to 50cm per second

• Oil tight and waterproof construction

• CE marked and manufactured in Taiwan

Common Applications

End of travel detection on conveyors and sliding doors, carriage position sensing on machine tools, gate and barrier open or closed confirmation, hoist and lift limit protection, packaging and assembly line stops, and safety interlocks on guards and covers.

Choosing the Right Limit Switch

Actuator type is the main decision, and it depends on how the moving part approaches the switch. A fixed lever like the AZ-7120 suits short, predictable travel. Where the contact point varies or the target is far from the switch, the adjustable roller lever limit switch AZ-8108 lets you set the lever length and adds a roller to reduce wear on sliding cams.

For long reach or irregular targets, the adjustable rod limit switch AZ-8107 uses a thin rod that can be bent or cut to suit. Where heavier loads need switching, the 10A adjustable roller lever limit switch AZ-5108 has a larger, more robust body. For direct push actuation from any direction, the cross roller plunger limit switch ME-8122 is the plunger alternative.

FAQ,s

What is a lever limit switch used for?

It detects when a moving part reaches a set position. The part pushes the lever, the contacts change over, and the signal tells the machine to stop, reverse or move to the next step.

What does 1NO 1NC mean?

The switch has one normally open and one normally closed contact. When the lever operates, the NO closes and the NC opens, giving you two signals from one switch.

What is the difference between a lever and a roller lever limit switch?

A plain lever is simple and compact for short, direct contact. A roller lever adds a wheel at the tip, which reduces friction and wear when a cam or dog slides past it repeatedly.

Can this switch connect directly to a PLC?

Yes. The 0.5A 125VDC rating covers standard 24V DC PLC inputs, and the 10A 250VAC rating allows direct switching of AC control circuits.

Is the AZ-7120 suitable for wet or oily areas?

Yes. The body is oil tight and waterproof, so it suits machine tools with coolant, conveyors and equipment exposed to moisture.

What does side mount mean?

The switch fixes flat against a surface on its side, so it can sit along a machine frame or rail and meet the moving part from the side.
