Electrical Limit Switch (Stedall Part No. 6138S)
An electromechanical limit switch designed for durable operation in vehicle step systems. The 6138S features a robust mechanical actuator that responds to movement—commonly used to detect whether an access step (such as the Semi-Automatic Cantilever Step, part no. 6138) is extended or retracted. Upon actuation, it triggers electrical contacts to make or break the circuit, serving as a reliable safety or position-detection mechanism.

Applications:

• Safety interlock for vehicle steps or access panels

• Position sensing in door or step automation

• Control feedback in commercial vehicle machinery

Key Attributes:

• Long-lasting construction built for harsh environments

• Compatible with Stedall Stem Step systems

• Essential component for step safety and electronic control integration

Installation Context:
Often used in conjunction with Stedall’s step assemblies and fitting kits for integration into various vehicle models. Works alongside components such as gas stays (e.g., 6138G) and foot-operated cantilever steps to enhance system safety and functionality.

Control Systems: To perform actions in response to the presence or absence of things. A useful example would be to determine whether a vehicle access step was open or closed.
