12SM83

Snap Action, Limit Switches

The 12SM83 is a reliable snap-action limit switch which can perform as an ideal solution for industrial control applications. It comes with a small size, built-in bracket and common contact form. The 12SM83 is ideal for applications that require a reliable and economical solution.

Application Field

The 12SM83 is designed to be used in a variety of industrial applications, such as: electronic and electro-mechanical controls, electrical feedback systems, and automatic reset tools. The versatile and reliable switch can be used as a normal-open and normal-closed switch. They can also be used in lighting applications, and in automation equipment.

Working Principle

The working principle of the 12SM83 is based on snap action technology, which uses a coil spring loaded contact arm and a snap action actuator. When the actuator rotates, and switch lever contacts the electrical current, the spring-loaded contact arm compresses, triggering a brief contact with the electrical current. This contact is instantaneous, opening or closing the circuit.

Due to its snap action technology, the 12SM83 can handle high speed switching, making it suitable for industrial automation applications. Additionally, it can be used in hazardous environments as it is designed to be explosion proof.

Conclusion

The 12SM83 is a reliable and economical solution for many industrial and automation applications. It is built with a small size, and comes with a built-in bracket and common contact form. The 12SM83 is designed to handle high speed switching, and can be used in hazardous environments due to its explosion proof design.
