12CX15-D01

The 12CX15-D01 limit switch is a type of snap action switch. It has a wide range of applications, including motor-driven appliances, machine tools, and automated production equipment. As a device with a complex construction, the 12CX15-D01\'s working principle is based on mechanical and electrical principles.

Mechanical Principle

The 12CX15-D01 switch consists of a moveable and a fixed contact element, an internal control lever and an actuator. The internal control lever is connected to the actuator, and when the actuator is activated, the internal control lever moves to open or close the contact between the moveable and fixed contact element, allowing or preventing the flow of electricity (On or Off).

In order to improve performance and reduce the time required for contacts to open and close, most 12CX15-D01 switches include a built-in release mechanism. This mechanism consists of a spring-loaded metal bar that snaps into place when the actuator is released. This motion triggers the opening or closing of the contacts, resulting in a “snap” action.

Electrical Principle

The 12CX15-D01 limit switch makes use of electricity to open and close the contacts. When the actuator is activated, electrical current is routed through the internal control lever to either initiate or interrupt the current flow in the switch. The opening and closing of the contacts are regulated by the electrical power flow.

12CX15-D01 switches typically include a common contact, which is electrically connected to the power source when the switch is in the on position. When the switch is in the off position, the common contact is isolated, interrupting the current flow.

Application

Due to its fast acting and reliable performance, the 12CX15-D01 limit switch can be used in a variety of applications. It is often employed to detect the movement of a particular object and to activate certain functions. For example, in a motor-driven appliance, the 12CX15-D01 may be used to detect the position of the motor shaft, allowing for the proper operation of the machine.

The 12CX15-D01 switch can also be used in automated production machines, such as lathes and milling machines, to detect the extent of travel and automatically switch it off when the travel has exceeded its prescribed limit. In addition, its snap action provides fast and reliable operation, which makes it well suited for use in high-speed production equipment.

Conclusion

The 12CX15-D01 limit switch is a unique and essential device in many applications. Its mechanical and electrical principles enable it to provide a fast and reliable operation. This ensures that the device is suitable for use in motor-driven appliances, machine tools, and automated production equipment.
