D5BMechanical Touch Switch
Detects Objects in Multiple Directions
with High Sensitivity, Ideal for Robotics
■Detects object contact from multiple directions
and operates even with a slight force.
■Slow-action switching mechanism used. Move-
ment differential as small as 0.01 mm assures
high accuracy of detection.
■Gold-plated contact with coil spring capable of
switching micro current/voltage load while provid-
ing high contact reliability.
■Highly resistant to dust, fine particles and water or
oil splash, conforming to IP67.
■Three sizes (M10, M8, and M5) and three types of
actuators (hemispheric, cone-shaped, and wobble
stick).

■Operating Characteristics
Note: 1. The operating characteristic values shown in the above table are measured at the portions indicated by the downward arrows
in Dimensions.
2. The operating principle of the Mechanical Touch Switch is similar to that of the ordinary switch in that the Mechanical Touch
Switch has a switch inside the housing operated by the movement of the actuator which in turn is moved by the force applied to
it. Mechanical Touch Switches differ from ordinary switches mostly in areas of operating direction flexibility, sensitivity and size.

Precautions
■Correct Use
Do not impose a load exceeding 29.42 N on the cord, otherwise
the cord may break. If the cord is to be bent repeatedly, make
sure that the bending radius is at least 20 mm.
Mounting
Do not tighten the nuts with excessive torque. Refer to the follow-
ing for the appropriate tightening torque and mounting dimen-
sions of each nut.
The base incorporates special threads that cannot be mounted to
plates with standard tap holes.
An excessive load may deform the base. When mounting the
base, be careful not to impose an excessive load on the base.
Operation
Do not impose excessive force on the actuator. Even though the
actuator withstands a maximum force of 14.7N, if the D5B is
repeatedly actuated, make sure that the maximum force imposed
on the actuator is 1.96 N. If the actuator is, however, a wire spring
type, the maximum force imposed must be 0.49 N instead.
The operating characteristics of the D5B vary with the direction
(i.e., X, Y, or Z) in which force is imposed. Refer to page 267.
The wobble stick model is actuated when force is imposed on the
tip of the wobble stick and the built-in switch unit is closed or
opened. This is different from the NL Limit Touch Switch or D5C
Column Touch Switch in terms of the main mechanism. The NL or
D5C is actuated when the actuator comes into contact with an
actuating object.
The wobble stick model may break if the stroke is excessive.
Make sure that the total travel (TT) is within the reference value
provided in the datasheet.
Attach an appropriate cover for protecting the D5B from direct
exposure to sprayed oil or water. No protective cover is, however,
provided together with the D5B.
The D5B may be damaged by ozone and failures may result if the
D5B is used outdoors. Consult your OMRON representative
before attempting to use the D5B outdoors.
Outdoor environmental conditions may have a bad influence on
the service life of the D5B. Refer to the general precautions of
Limit Switches for details.
