Allen-Bradley 1497-N5 Limit Switch Type M Series

Allen-Bradley 1497-N5 Limit Switch Type M Series is a compact, rugged mechanical switch designed to sense end-of-travel positions in industrial machinery. As part of the 1497 Type M family, the switch uses a durable housing and a selectable actuator family to suit different machine geometries, with the N5 designation indicating a standard electrical connection configuration used to interface with control circuits. This limit switch provides a discrete electrical change when actuated, enabling straightforward integration with PLCs and safety interlocks in applications such as conveyors, presses, packaging lines, and automated equipment. Typical features associated with Type M switches include a robust enclosure for industrial environments, compatibility with common mounting patterns, and a range of accessories like mounting brackets and mating connectors to simplify installation. To ensure proper fit and performance, verify the exact electrical ratings, actuator options, and mounting dimensions for the specific N5 submodel against the machine requirements and control panel wiring. For precise specifications and approved usage, consult the official Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation documentation for the 1497 Type M family and the 1497-N5 variant, ensuring alignment with the intended control logic and safety standards.
