switches, and Weather-proof Switches. Select the one required by the
onsite environment.
Degree of Protection; IP67
O-rings, cover seals, and other measures provide a water-proof, drip-
proof structure (IP67).
Approved Standards to Aid Export Machines
Various WL/WLM switches are approved by UL, CSA, TÜV, EN/IEC,
and CCC making them ideal for export machines.
Spatter-prevention Models
Excellent Performance on Arc Welding Lines or Sites with
Spattering Cutting Powder
High-precision Models Available in All Switch Types;
Ideal for Position Control
High-precision models achieve a very small movement to operation
(approx. 5°) and a repeat accuracy that is twice that of basic models.
Ideal for Welding Sites
Stainless steel and resins that resist adhesion of spatters are used to
prevent troubles caused by zinc powder generated during welding.
Long-life Models
Mechanical Endurance of 30 Million Operations
Operation Indicators for Easier Daily
Inspections*
Confirm operation with a neon lamp or LED for
easier startup confirmations and maintenance.
* Operation indicators are provided on Indicator-
equipped switches, Spatter-prevention Basic
Switches, and Long-life Basic Switches.
Long-life Models for High-frequency Applications
Long life has been achieved by increasing the resistance to friction
and creating better sliding properties in the head mechanism. Greater
visibility is provided when setting with a fluorescent display for setting
the stroke.

Models with Connectors to Reduce Wiring
Reduce wiring with one-touch connection. Models with direct-wired
and prewired connectors that make Switch replacement easier are
also available.

* Weather Resistance, Cold Resistance, and Heat Resistance
Silicon rubber is used to increase resistance to weather, cold, and heat. Silicon rubber, however, can generate silicon gas. (This can occur at room temperature, but
the amount of silicon gas generated increases at higher temperatures.) Silicon gas will react as a result of arc energy and form silicon oxide (SiO
2
). If silicon oxide
accumulates on the contacts, contact interference can occur and can interfere with the device. Before using a Switch, test it under actual application conditions
(including the environment and operating frequency) to confirm that no problems will occur in actual.

Selection Guide
With the WL Series, OMRON will combine the switch, Actuator, and wiring method required to build the ideal switch for
your application.
The WL Series consists of four basic types: General-purpose, En-
vironment-resistant, Spatter-prevention, and Long-life Switches.
WLCA2 Switches can be used for the most common applications.
According to Operating Environment

Low-temperature
To increase resistance to cold, silicon rubber and other
measures are used.
Rubber parts are made from silicone rubber, which has a
high-tolerance to deterioration over time and changes in temperature.
Rollers are made of stainless steel to improve corrosion resistance.
Exposed nuts and screws are made of stainless steel.
Corrosion-proof aluminum diecast has been used for the
housing, fluorine rubber has been used for rubber parts, and
stainless steel has been used for screws and nuts (except for
actuator) to increase resistance to oils, chemicals, and weather.
