| Explanation: |
Series CHL-5 - Metal body vertical limit switch series prefix |
Actuator 000 - Fixed roller lever |
Roller material NONE - Standard resin roller; omit M and the preceding hyphen |
CHL vertical limit switches use a metal enclosure, rubber cable-entry sleeve and double-spring contact mechanism. All ten configurations have IP65 protection and snap-action 1NO+1NC contacts. Sealed plungers suit direct linear actuation, roller and rod levers provide rotary actuation, and flexible spring heads accommodate targets approaching from different lateral directions.

The common body is 33mm wide with a 60.7mm body-height dimension. Mounting centers are 24±0.2mm horizontally and 50±0.2mm vertically, with Ø4.2mm mounting holes. Use the attached model drawings for depth, actuator projection and cable-entry clearance.
The fixed series prefix CHL-5 is followed directly by a three-digit actuator code. CHL-5030 is the standard adjustable resin roller model; CHL-5030-M adds the optional metal roller. The -M option is available only for CHL-5000 and CHL-5030. Its hyphen is retained as a separate ordering separator.

These values represent steady-state currents. The inductive-load condition is an AC power factor of 0.4 or a DC time constant below 7ms. Lamp loads assume inrush up to ten times running current; motor loads assume six times running current. A dash means no rating is stated.

CHL-5030 and CHL-5391 operating characteristics use a stated 31.2mm test arm. This test condition is distinct from the installed roller adjustment range. Flexible heads can bend in lateral directions; do not actuate them by pushing down along the axis. Apply the target within the upper one-third of the actuator length. CHL-5300, CHL-5330 and CHL-5381 remain separate configurations despite their shared operating values.
Use the exact model drawing to set the target path, mounting clearance and permitted travel. Secure the cable-entry seal to maintain enclosure protection. Personnel protection, high-reliability continuous systems, harsh outdoor or chemical environments, explosive atmospheres, nuclear, aerospace and military service require a separate application assessment.
