Mechanical limit switches with levers and rollers can wear out, jam and drift out of adjustment. The ASCO 73-13568-A3 is a Model 73 GO Switch built around a leverless, magnetically actuated sensing principle.
A GO Switch is a leverless limit switch. Instead of using a mechanical arm, it uses permanent magnets to sense a ferrous or magnetic target, eliminating the lever, roller or plunger that can wear, bend or jam. This makes the design well suited to valve position indication and equipment operating in dirty, wet or vibrating locations.
A position switch that fails or drifts can provide incorrect feedback to a control system, potentially indicating that a valve is in the wrong position. Mechanical arms and rollers can be a source of such faults. Fitting a genuine, correctly specified switch helps restore dependable position feedback and can reduce nuisance trips and maintenance call-outs.
The ASCO 73-13568-A3 is a Model 73 GO Switch. Confirm the switch configuration, housing, electrical rating and any hazardous-area marking shown on the nameplate and applicable datasheet before ordering.

Who This Product Is Best For
-
Valve position indication on automated valves
-
Plants replacing worn mechanical limit switches
-
Industrial equipment requiring leverless position sensing
-
Maintenance teams holding spares for existing Model 73 GO Switch installations
-
Applications where vibration, dirt or moisture makes mechanical lever switches less desirable
How to Specify & Install It
-
Confirm that the ASCO 73-13568-A3 model and complete nameplate details match your existing switch, control circuit and application requirements.
-
Verify the switch configuration, housing, electrical rating and any applicable hazardous-area classification before installation.
-
Mount the switch so the target passes within the sensing range specified in the applicable ASCO datasheet.
-
Wire the switch to the control or indication circuit according to the manufacturer's wiring diagram and applicable site or area-classification requirements.
-
Move the target through its full operating travel and confirm that the switch changes state reliably at the required positions.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does a GO Switch work?
A GO Switch uses permanent magnets to detect a suitable ferrous or magnetic target. When the target enters the specified sensing range, the switch changes state without requiring a mechanical lever or roller.
Why choose a GO Switch over a lever limit switch?
The leverless design removes mechanical components such as arms and rollers that can wear, bend or jam. This can make the switch suitable for demanding industrial environments where mechanical limit switches may require frequent adjustment.
How can I confirm the 73-13568-A3 is the right replacement?
Compare the complete part number and nameplate details on your existing switch. Also verify the configuration, housing, electrical rating and any hazardous-area requirements. Contact General Tech Services LLC if you need help confirming compatibility.
Where is the 73-13568-A3 typically used?
It is suited to valve position indication on automated valves and other industrial equipment requiring reliable position feedback. Confirm the exact application requirements against the applicable ASCO documentation.
How should I maintain the 73-13568-A3?
Keep the sensing area clear of heavy build-up, check mounting and target alignment during routine inspections, and verify that the switch changes state correctly across the required operating travel.
What is the most common mistake when replacing a GO Switch?
Ordering based only on the Model 73 designation can lead to an incorrect replacement. Confirm the complete part number because configuration, housing and electrical options can vary between models.
