DCL10(C)H

Snap Action, Limit Switches

DCL10(C)H Switches are typically used as snap action, limit switches. A limit switch is an electro-mechanical device with one or more sets of contacts intended to control or interrupt the circuits in response to the motion of an actuator. In simpler terms, a limit switch is an electrical switch that gets activated or deactivated by a mechanical action of someone moving the switch. DCL10(C)H switches feature precision hard tipped contacts on the actuator and are ideal for applications where the load is expected to travel a long distance such as those used in machine tool and automation applications.

Application Field

The primary applications of DCL10(C)H switches are used in automation applications such as machine tool applications, conveyor systems, packaging machinery, and any other application that requires an electronically controlled switch. The reliability and durability of these devices make them an excellent choice for applications that require precision machinery operation.

Working Principle

The DCL10(C)H switch operates by sensing mechanical movement of the actuator. When the limit switch is used in a machine tool or automation application, the movement of the actuator triggers the switch to close or open its contacts. This action allows for better control of the machine tool or automation system, as it allows an electrical current to be directed or interrupted depending on how the actuator is moved.

The actuator is held in place by a spring. When the actuator is moved, the spring is compressed and the contacts of the switch are closed. When the actuator is moved back, the spring pushes the actuator back to its original position and the contacts reopen. This ensures that the switch is kept in its default position.

The DCL10(C)H Switches are designed to be highly reliable and feature a fail-safe design. In the event of a power failure, the switch will reset itself and will be ready to operate as soon as power is restored. The switch is also very durable and can withstand repeated usage and extreme temperatures.

DCL10(C)H switches offer a reliable, durable, and cost-effective way to control automated systems. The switch can be used to control machinery in a range of applications and ensures precise control of the machine. The switch is also very easy to install and maintain and is available in a range of different sizes and styles to suit different applications.
