Snap action limit switches are a type of mechanical switch designed to respond quickly to an applied force and provide reliable control over a variety of circuits. These switches are typically used to open and close electrical contacts, which in turn can control the flow of electricity when certain conditions are reached. The design of snap action limit switches makes them one of the most reliable switches available, providing accurate switching without fail even in harsh conditions and potentially hazardous locations.

In the field of automated control systems, snap action limit switches are used to provide an interface between the physical controls and the electronic systems that manage the actual operation of the machine. This provides a layer of protection to the equipment, allowing it to react safely and quickly to changing conditions or requests from the operator. Snap action limit switches can be used to provide direct control over various actuators, such as motors or solenoids, which are used to move components and enable automation.

The most common type of snap action limit switch is the single pole, single throw (SPST) design, which utilizes a toggle switch that can be actuated by a plunger or other external force. The toggle switch is usually momentary, meaning that it will return to the original position when the applied force is removed. SPST limit switches can be used to provide simple on/off control over a variety of circuits.

Other types of snap action switch designs are also available, including double pole, single throw (DPST) switches which will open and close two separate circuits with the same actuation force. Double pole, double throw (DPDT) switches can open and close two separate circuits in opposite directions. To provide a greater level of control and protection, snap action limit switches are also available with adjustable limits, allowing for the switch to actuate at different forces or travel distances.

Modern snap action limit switches also come with specialized features such as LED indicators for visual indication of operation, or specialized contact materials for improved durability and performance. Such materials can provide improved resistance to corrosion, temperature, shock and vibration, making the switch ideal for applications in hazardous locations.

The mechanism of a snap action limit switch is quite simple and reliable. When pressure is applied to the switch, typically by a plunger or lever, an internal spring-loaded arm is released and allowed to move toward one side or the other. This activates the switch, opening or closing the electrical contact depending on which direction the arm moves. The arm is usually designed to move far enough so that when released, the spring will cause it to snap back to the original position and reset the switch. This feature is what gives the switch its name and provides the reliable operation that sets it apart from many other switches.

Snap action limit switches are an important component of many automated control systems and their reliable operation ensures the safe and efficient operation of equipment. These switches come in a variety of styles and designs and can be used to provide direct control over motors, solenoids, and other actuators in hazardous locations. This makes snap action limit switches essential components in the field of automated control systems and industrial production.
