The Siemens 3SE3120-1J is a position switch body from the 3SE3 series, built for end-of-travel and presence detection on automated machinery. Its roller crank actuator gives it a mechanical overtravel characteristic suited to cam-operated linear or rotary motion — think conveyor diverters, transfer slides, or pallet stops where the cam ramp sweeps past the roller without binding the stem. The IP67 seal keeps out coolant splash and airborne dust on machining centres or washdown zones; the M20 x 1.5 cable entry accepts standard metric gland sizes for panel or junction-box termination.
The 40 x 37.5 x 100 mm body mounts via the two slotted holes in the switch base — no DIN-rail adapter on this variant, so plan for direct panel or bracket fixing. Roller crank orientation is field-adjustable in 90° increments around the actuator axis, letting you align the roller plane with the cam path without shimming the mounting plate.
