Snap Action, Limit Switches

Snap action, limit switches are mechanical devices that are used for indicating the presence or absence of an object or item. The 12HR8-6 type of limit switch is a mechanically-actuated switch that is designed to achieve a defined switching action in response to the application of an external force. The device is composed of a driving mechanism and a sensing part, the latter being composed of a movable contact and a stationary contact.

12HR8-6 Application Field and Working Principle

The 12HR8-6 limit switch is designed for applications where several switching points can be established. It is suitable for a wide range of industrial automation applications where detection of the presence of an object is required. It can also be used for the control of conveyors, doors, filling machines, stokers and stackers, and other automated processes.

The 12HR8-6 limit switch is a mechanically-actuated switch, meaning that its operation does not involve any electrical contacts. It is composed of a driving mechanism, a sensing part, and a stationary contact. The driving mechanism consists of a rotating arm, which connects the sensing part to the stationary contact. When a fixed point is placed in between the sensing part and the stationary contact, a switch is triggered, allowing a circuit to be closed, accomplished by a metal piece that is free to move or rotate.

The metal piece is connected to the stationary contact, which works with the position of the metal piece. As the metal piece gets closer to the fixed point, the tension on the driving mechanism increases and the contact is closed, which turns the switch on. The switch maintains its activated state until the metal piece moves away from the fixed point. At this point, the tension is released and the contact re-opens, allowing the circuit to be opened again.

Apart from its goal of indicating the presence or absence of an object, the 12HR8-6 limit switch is also used to provide a manual control facility. For example, it can be used to activate a manual reset switch, thus allowing an operator to reset the machine without having to take it out of production. Furthermore, the 12HR8-6 limit switch can be used with a variety of position monitors, allowing a user to detect the exact position of their machine. Additionally, the switch can be used to provide failsafe protection in case of abnormal operation or failure.

In conclusion, the 12HR8-6 limit switch is an effective and reliable device that helps detect the presence or absence of an object, which is vital in many industrial automation applications. Its versatility and robust design make it a great choice for any complex system. Plus, it also provides manual control as well as failsafe protection for maximum protection of a system.
