The Siemens 3SE5112-0CH01 is a mechanical position switch from the SIRIUS 3SE5 series, housed in a metal enclosure measuring 40 mm (per EN 50041). It features one normally-open and one normally-closed quick-action contact, a rotary actuator adjustable left and/or right, and a metal lever of 27 mm length with a 19 mm plastic roller — designed for high-reliability position detection and safety applications.
This device is ideal for industrial automation systems, machine tools, conveyor installations, and safety guard-switching scenarios where reliable position detection and mounting in a compact 40 mm panel cut-out are required. Its robust metal housing and high protection rating make it suitable for demanding environments.
