The Euchner EGM8 is a single hole fixing limit switch with an M8 x 0.5 threaded body, designed for direct mounting into machine structures where space is limited. It features a rounded plunger actuating element and a changeover contact configuration, with a stainless steel housing rated IP65 for use in demanding environments. The switch connects via a three-core PUR cable and is suited to position sensing tasks on automated machinery, operating across an ambient temperature range of -20 to 80°C in any mounting orientation.
