ZCKD15 Limit Switch Head Overview
The Telemecanique Sensors ZCKD15 is a limit switch head featuring a roller lever plunger actuator designed for side mounting. It provides momentary contact operation with a 70-degree travel range and bidirectional movement detection. The unit operates within a temperature range of -25 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit and carries NEMA 1, 2, 3, 4, and 12 ratings for environmental protection. It complies with EU RoHS and REACH standards for hazardous substance restrictions.
Industrial Automation Suitability
This switch head suits machinery builders integrating position sensing into XCKL or XCKM limit switch bodies for automated equipment. The 1.36-inch actuator length and 1.77 in-lb operating force fit applications requiring precise mechanical tripping. Buyers needing a different actuator style, such as a plain plunger or wobble stick, should look at alternative head types. Those requiring an integrated contact block or a standalone switch assembly will need a complete device rather than this head-only component.
Mounting and Compatibility Benefits
The side-mounted roller lever plunger allows actuation from lateral approaches, simplifying installation on conveyor edges or machine guards. Compatibility with XCKL and XCKM bodies lets maintenance teams standardise on one switch series while swapping heads for different tasks. The NEMA 4 and 12 ratings support use in washdown or dusty environments without additional enclosures. RoHS and REACH compliance eases regulatory approval for equipment sold in European markets.

Questions about this item
Which compatible limit switch body — XCKL or XCKM — must I already have to mount this ZCKD15 head?
This head is designed for use with Telemecanique Sensors XCKL and XCKM limit switch bodies; you need one of those bodies installed before fitting the head.
Will the 70-degree travel and 1.36 in roller lever plunger interfere with existing XCKL or XCKM bodies I keep in service?
The 70-degree travel and 1.36 in actuator length match the mounting pattern of XCKL and XCKM bodies, so it fits without mechanical changes to those older units.
How can I verify the head is operating correctly after installation?
Actuate the roller lever plunger through its full 70-degree travel left and right; the head should switch cleanly at the 1.77 in-lb operating force within the -25 to 70 degrees F range.
