10HM1-3

Snap action limit switches are widely used in a variety of applications, including automation, transportation, medical and marine equipment, processes and the control systems that oversee them. As such, they are reliable and efficient control devices which provide repeatable performance in array of challenging environments.

The 10HM1-3 is a commonly utilized electronic limit switch. It is a built compact, conductor mounted switch with various contact mechanisms, and operation with a standard force of up to 176N. The 10HM1-3 is a popular choice for many applications because of its robust construction, large panel mount, high switch force and long travel distance.

It is designed to provide long-term reliable operation with a variety of single- and double-pole configurations. The 10HM1-3 has a maximum switch armature travel distance of .188 inches, with a maximum switch force of up to 176N. This allows it to be employed in a variety of switch operating ranges, including long travel, extended stroke and mid-travel ranges. Additionally, the 10HM1-3 is designed to be a protection device against faults, such as overcurrent, overload and short circuit.

The working principle of the 10HM1-3 is based on the use of a snap-action spring. When the switch armature is pushed, the snap-action spring is activated and compresses. This compression generates an electronic signal which is sent to the connected controller or device, and instructs the control device to change state. This is the most important function of the 10HM1-3, as its purpose is to detect a sudden change in the state of the switch.

The 10HM1-3 offers superior reliability and safety when used in various applications. In industrial applications such as machine control, the limit switch can be used to deactivate hazardous machinery when it reaches a certain point in the process or when it exceeds the maximum speed limit. Additionally, the switch can be used to detect the presence or absence of a product from the production line, monitor production speed, voltage and temperature levels of a motor, etc.

In the transportation industry, the limit switch can be used to detect dangerous road conditions, such as black ice or slippery roads. It can also be used to detect the presence of an object on the roads, monitor fuel levels, deformations in the structures of bridges, and the like. Similarly, the 10HM1-3 can be employed in medical devices to detect the presence of a patient in a bed or stretcher, or used to monitor the vital signs of a patient.

In addition to its industrial and medical applications, the 10HM1-3 can also be used for marine applications. It can detect the presence of objects in the water, monitor water levels, speed, fuel levels and temperature levels. The limit switch can also be used for navigation and navigation control purposes.

The 10HM1-3 is a reliable and efficient limit switch with a wide range of applications. For those looking for a reliable control device that can help them monitor various safety parameters and provide repeatable performance, the 10HM1-3 is an example of how electronic limit switches can be used to great success.
