Square-D/Telemecanique (Which is handled by Graybar)and Namco
These 2 groups where the majority of what I used in the past. If you tell them what kind of environment...they can help you determine what level of protection that you need.

RE: Explosion proof limit switch suggestion.
you have to give us more information about the location where you want to install the limit switch...
you might be able to get away with a proximity switch installed in a explosion proof box...

Make your own determination, but some manufacturers refer to a "Type 7" enclosure.

You can aslo add the gas groop environment ie IIA/B/C and the temp rating say T3 and finally the ingress protection (IP) rating of say IP56 for general outdoor application.So adding everything together the total spec for the switch would read
Exd,IIB,T3,IP56 or Exde,IIB,T3,IP56
Note that an Exd switch will cost more as it will have a metal housing but will be more rugged too, while Exde will be relatively cheaper as it will have a plastic (GRP) housing but not usually specified for rugged duty.
Finally, it is not permissible (by IEC) to use or specify Exd or Exde devices in zone 0 where only Exs ( s being - special design) would be permitted for power application devices.
