Telemecanique Sensors ZCKJ1 — XC Standard Limit Switch Body for High‑Reliability Position Control

Product Overview

The Telemecanique Sensors ZCKJ1 is a standard limit switch body from the OsiSense XC Standard range by Telemecanique Sensors (Schneider Electric). Designed for industrial automation and machine‑safety applications, the ZCKJ1 features a fixed metal body with integrated 1NC + 1NO snap‑action contacts and can be combined with a wide selection of ZCKE switch heads to build robust travel and position sensing solutions.

Features & Advantages

  • XC Standard limit switch body — highly standardized form factor for easy replacement and global availability.
  • Fixed metal housing for excellent mechanical strength and long service life.
  • Dual snap‑action contacts: 1 NC + 1 NO (2‑pole) for flexible control logic.
  • Industrial utilization ratings: AC‑15 240 V / 3 A and DC‑13 250 V / 0.27 A per IEC 60947‑5‑1.
  • 5 cable entry for fast field wiring.
  • Screw‑clamp terminals, suitable for 0.34…1.5 mm² conductors.
  • High environmental protection: IP66 (IEC 60529) and impact resistance IK07.
  • Wide operating temperature range: −25…+70 °C (storage −40…+70 °C).

Application Advantages

  • Modular configuration: as a switch body, ZCKJ1 pairs with multiple ZCKE heads (roller levers, plungers, rods, etc.) to match specific actuation requirements.
  • Clean, stable signals: snap‑action switching minimizes contact bounce and improves PLC input reliability.
  • Metal body durability: ideal for high‑cycle, vibration, or shock environments, reducing downtime and maintenance.
  • Industrial‑grade sealing: IP66 ensures dependable operation in dusty, oily, or splash‑prone areas.

Typical Applications

  • Automated production and assembly lines — end‑of‑travel detection, fixture open/close confirmation, position feedback.
  • Conveyor and material‑handling systems — pallet presence, anti‑collision limits, sorter position triggering.
  • Machine tools and forming equipment — guard interlocks, stroke limits, end‑position protection.
  • Heavy‑duty or outdoor machinery — lifting platforms, warehousing stackers, steel/mining equipment safety limits.

Selection and Installation Guidelines

  • Select the appropriate ZCKE head first, then match it with the ZCKJ1 body to achieve the required actuation style.
  • Confirm load compatibility with AC‑15 / DC‑13 ratings to protect contact life.
  • Use properly sealed PG13.5 cable glands in wet or dusty environments to maintain IP66 performance.
  • Ensure accurate mechanical alignment and sufficient over‑travel to avoid hard impact on the actuator.
  • Perform periodic inspections in high‑cycle applications to verify contact and mechanical condition.
