External Limit Switch Kit
If you're wondering how to wire and install external limit switches, we’ve created a detailed blog post with step-by-step instructions. Click here to read our guide on "How to Wire an Actuator with an External Limit Switch".

Why do you need the EL-KIT?
In many cases, finding a linear actuator with the exact stroke length you require can be challenging, and sometimes the stroke length may change with use. The EL-KIT provides a practical solution by allowing you to adjust the stroke length of an actuator by installing an external limit switch (microswitch). This simple addition stops the actuator from moving beyond a designated point.

Investing in this kit is a smart choice when you're installing an actuator. It gives you flexibility to adjust the stroke length without needing to replace the actuator altogether if adjustments are needed after installation.

Alternative methods to adjusting limits of actuator

Instead of installing an external limit switch kit, you can opt for a linear actuator with built-in feedback. By pairing it with an FCB-1 or FCB-2 controller, you can easily set and adjust the actuator's limits using the touch screen control panel, offering a more seamless and precise solution.
