The Sherline Limit Switch Assembly for 5800, Ballscrew, Z-Axis is a specialized component designed to enhance the functionality of Sherline machines. This assembly includes a limit switch equipped with a pigtail and connector, along with the necessary mounting hardware. It is engineered to integrate seamlessly with Sherline’s proprietary systems, ensuring optimal performance and compatibility.

The assembly is tailored for use with Sherline’s custom controller board, developed in collaboration with MASSO, and is not compatible with standard MASSO boards. This exclusivity is due to the unique software and wiring configurations that Sherline employs, particularly in relation to their older analog speed control system. Users can expect precise RPM readouts when using the optical encoder, although RPM control via G-code is not supported with non-Sherline systems.

Installation of the limit switch assembly may require some modifications to the machine, specifically drilling and tapping, to accommodate the mounting hardware. This ensures a secure and effective retrofit, allowing the limit switch to function as intended within the Sherline ecosystem. Note: Ensure proper installation to maintain safety and functionality.
