    Hello everyone! I saw this YouTube video recently.

    Can any of you answer my question?
    Is it possible with the AMC-AASD15A to use inductive limit switches to protect against overload, Overflow with actuators with a fixed stroke, i set 460mm and was able to break this limit with SimTools., or are they only there for calibration?

    My question is settled. Thanos 6DOF motion sim electronics answered my question on YouTube.

    Placing the answer here as well, in case someone needs it :)

    The limit switches are only used for initial calibration of the home position, as alternative if there is no good solid hard stop available. After they are ignored. The servo drive it self has protections for overload and over torque and will safely shut down the motor power. At least the AASD-15A servo drives do have these fail-safe protections.
