Snap action, limit switches are widely used in automation, motion-detection, and security systems. The 13AC1 application field and working principle gives an insight into the function, features and application of this type of switch.The 13AC1 is a perfect, low-cost limit switch solution for medium-to-high speed applications. It is a device that often opens or closes a circuit when a certain limit is exceeded, such as velocity, pressure, current, temperature or force. This type of switch is generally triggered by mild acceleration, vibration, or jerking motion.The 13AC1 limit switch consists of two parts; the actuator and the contact assembly. The contact assembly consists of three parts; the base, plunger, and contact. In normal operation, when the actuator moves, it either pushes or pulls the plunger, causing the plunger’s contacts to open or close. The contacts are held in place by the base.This type of switch can be configured with several types of actuators including lever- or plunger-type, and can be used to detect a variety of objects such as pieces of sheet metal, paper, and plastic products. In general, the 13AC1 has a mechanical life of up to one million cycles and can operate in temperatures ranging from -40˚F to 248˚F.There are several 13AC1 styles available including roller, external paddle, and roller arm/pot. The roller style is used when speed and limited spacing is important, while the external paddle is more suitable when space is limited. Finally, the roller arm/pot style is used when higher contact force and increased insulation are a priority.The 13AC1 limit switch is an excellent choice for motion control. This type of switch is suitable for use in applications where the switching load does not exceed the mechanical force of the actuator and the contact pressure is low. It is also used for non-contact sensing, adjusting electrical circuit parameters and triggering alarms.Other applications for this type of switch include controlling motors, securing doors and gates, sending/receiving data, and detecting the position of an object. It is also used for controlling various conditions in industrial equipment, finding the start and end points of an operation, and detecting the presence of foreign objects.To summarize, the 13AC1 limit switch is an excellent low-cost solution for medium-to-high speed applications. It is made up of two parts; the actuator and the contact assembly, and can be configured with several types of actuators. This type of switch is suitable for use in applications where the switching load does not exceed the mechanical force of the actuator and the contact pressure is low. Some of the common applications of 13AC1 limit switches include motion control, controlling motors, and security systems.
