10HM1-1

10HM1-1 Application Field and Working Principle

The 10HM1-1 is a snap action limit switch, designed for use in industrial automation or control applications. It is rated for a maximum switching voltage of 250 volts AC or 125 volts DC, and a maximum current of 10 amperes.

The 10HM1-1 has a shielded snap action mechanism, which is actuated by a snap-action plunger. The switch comprises of three separate components – the actuator, the contact spring, and the body. The actuator, when pressed down, causes the contact spring to move, snapping instantly between its open and closed contacts. This rapid on/off switching action is what gives the 10HM1-1 such great flexibility and wide range of possible applications.

The 10HM1-1 is designed to open and close under loads (i.e. forces applied by either end of the switch). For these forces to be accurately measured, they must first be converted into an electrical signal as they are applied to the switch. To do this, a strain gauge is built into the plunger of the switch – this measures the applied force and feeds it back to the circuit as an electrical signal.

The 10HM1-1 is widely used in many industrial applications, such as in motor control, robotics, pharmaceuticals, metal working and metal cutting applications, automation and process control, paper production machines, and conveyor systems. It is also used in consumer electronics products, such as computers, TVs and other AV equipment, home appliances, lighting, and security systems.

The 10HM1-1 is designed to provide maximum safety and reliability. It is typically mounted horizontally, and can be actuated by either external vibration, mechanical connection, or electrical solenoid. It is designed to perform consistently and reliably over a long life and withstand tough environmental conditions.

The 10HM1-1 is easy to install and requires minimal maintenance. It is also easy to use, thanks to its simple snap-action design. The switch is also designed to be ergonomic and user-friendly, with a large contact area and well-designed ergonomic actuating lever.

In conclusion, the 10HM1-1 snap action limit switch is an ideal choice for industrial automation and control applications, providing the kind of flexibility, accuracy and reliability required for safe and reliable operation. With its simple snap-action design, ergonomic features and robust construction, it is an excellent addition to any application.
