CA XE L im it Switch

5.0  Mechanical installation

CAUTION

Only trained and experienced personnel are allowed to install 

this equipment.

The CAXE limit switch system is prepared for easy attach-

ment on intended actuators (see table 1). For easy installa-

tion, prepare the actuator with CAXE limit switches before 

installing it in its final location.
If the actuator is accessible in an existing installation, the 

CAXE should be easy to install.

5.1  Content

Each CAXE limit switch unit consists of:
A.  2 pcs Switch attachment (a plate with a screw attached)
B.  2 pcs Locking plate (holding the sensor in place)
C.  2 pcs Washer (stainless steel A2, 6,7 × 3,3 × 0,6 mm)
D.  2 pcs Locking nut (M3, stainless steel A2)
E.  2 pcs Limit switch (sensor element) with cable.
F.  Cable grommet
G.  Protection shell
H.  Plastic plug (end cover)
I.  Profile with assembled limit switch rod
J.  2 pcs set of screws (assembled on profile)
K.  Nut with Distance and Washer (2 for CAXE 40)

5.2  Installation instructions

NOTICE

The limit switches must be adjusted properly in order to eliminate 

the risk of running into mechanical end stops. It is recommended

that installer allow at least 10 mm from the end stop to avoid 

mechanical failure due to motor roll-out and reaction time of the 

control system.

1.  Assemble the profile (I) onto the actuator, tighten set 

screws (J) and the nut (K) on the actuator’s front 

attachment.

2.  Place the switch attachment (A) inside the T-slot and 

then the locking plate (B), washer (C) and locking nut (D

for each limit switch.

3.  Place the limit switches (E) on the protection tube and 

adjust the positions.

4.  Tighten the locking nut (D) to secure the limit switch on 

the protection tube with a maximum torque of 0,6 Nm.

5.  Fix the cable grommet (F) in its slot on the protection 

shell (G).

6.  Pull out the cables through the cable grommet (F). Avoid 

sharp bending radius of the cables (max 15 mm radius)!

7.  Assemble the end cover (H).
8.  Snap the protection shell (G) onto the protection tube (I).
