Limit Switch XCKL106
The Telemecanique Sensors XCKL106 is a whisker-type limit switch designed for industrial line protection and position sensing. It provides reliable mechanical actuation in automated machinery and safety circuits. The unit features a spring-return mechanism with one normally closed and one normally open contact. It suits maintenance engineers and OEMs integrating safety interlocks.
Replaces Worn Whisker Switches
This switch directly replaces failed or ageing whisker actuators in existing Telemecanique XCKL assemblies. The upgrade is worthwhile when contacts show pitting, the lever return weakens, or the housing suffers impact damage. It restores precise actuation without rewiring the control circuit. Buyers needing a different actuator style or higher contact rating cannot use this model.
Simple Two-Screw Mounting
Installation uses the standard two-screw fixing pattern common to the XCKL range, allowing direct swap-out on the same mounting plate. Wiring connects to clearly marked screw terminals for the 1NC/1NO contacts. Misalignment of the whisker to the target cam is the most common cause of nuisance trips or missed signals. Ensure the operating force matches the application to avoid premature wear.

Questions about this item
What mounting holes does the XCKL106 use for panel installation?
The XCKL106 limit switch body provides standard mounting holes for secure panel attachment using screws.
How do I wire the 1NC/1NO contacts on the XCKL106, and what common error should I avoid?
Connect each circuit to the labelled NC and NO terminals; the common mistake is reversing the normally closed and normally open wires.
When should I replace the whisker actuator on the XCKL106?
Replace the whisker if it shows permanent bending, metal fatigue cracks, or if the spring return action becomes sluggish or incomplete.
