Panasonic Limit Switch for Garaventa and Genesis VPLs

This compact roller‑arm limit switch is ideal as landing sensor or upper/lower limit control in Garaventa & Genesis Opal wheelchair lifts, like the HY-US-OP series.

Miniature limit switch with a roller‑arm actuator, designed for reliable actuation in critical access and mobility equipment applications. This particular version incorporates a forced‑contact‑opening mechanism to ensure break of a normally closed circuit under fault conditions, giving enhanced safety integrity.

With IP67 environmental protection, it offers excellent resilience in lift installations where dust, moisture or vibration may occur.

It’s commonly used in wheelchair platform lifts (VPLs) such as Garaventa and Genesis Opal HY‑US‑OP series as both a landing sensor and upper/lower limit switch, making it a direct‑fit replacement for many critical system installs.

Constructed with screw‑terminal connection and lever arm roller actuator, it is straightforward for maintenance technicians to replace and integrate. It meets UL/CSA/TÜV ratings and supports up to 6 A at 380 V AC (for resistive load).

If you’re servicing or stocking parts for accessibility lifts and need a compact, durable limit switch solution, this model delivers proven performance.
