1478620-6

Snap action and limit switches are both types of device that is used to measure physical parameters and detect proximity. The 1478620-6 limit switch has been designed to provide reliable, repeatable feedback from directional changes in position and allow small, precise movements in a variety of applications. This particular limit switch is designed for industrial applications and can be used for applications such as electronic circuits, industrial automation, home appliances, and other applications which require a small, precise position change.

Working Principle

The 1478620-6 limit switch is a reed-type switch. This type of switch uses a magnetic field to create an electrical connection in the presence of a metallic surface. When the rotational or positional distance of the surface changes, an electrical connection is made, which produces a signal. The signal is then used to indicate the change in position and can be connected to an alarm, control circuit, or other device.

The 1478620-6 limit switch is designed with a few key features in order to make it reliable, repeatable, and accurate. The switch’s body is made from stainless steel and its operating temperature range is -40˚C to +105˚C. The features of the limit switch include a high degree of accuracy and repeatability in the measured range of +/- 0.025mm. Additionally, the switch has built-in active dampers which help reduce false triggering and consequently, increase switch stability and reliability.

Application Field

The 1478620-6 limit switch is typically used in industrial, research and development, or laboratory applications where operators need to detect both rotational and positional changes in a physical surface. Some applications include safety systems and probes, optical scanning heads, and industrial automation. Additionally, this type of switch is often found in consumer electronics, gaming systems and vending machines as it can detect small changes in position.

The 1478620-6 limit switch is designed for rugged applications, and its medical-grade construction and durability make it suitable for a wide range of uses, from consumer electronics to industrial automation to laboratory and research. The combination of the switch’s features, such as its small size, high precision, and its reliable and repeatable operation make it ideal for applications where reliable feedback and accurate position measurements are needed.

Conclusion

The 1478620-6 limit switch is a reliable, repeatable limit switch. Its modular design and its rugged construction make it suitable for a wide range of applications where accurate and repeatable position information is needed. It can be used in a variety of industrial, laboratory, and consumer applications, such as safety systems, optical scanning heads, industrial automation, and consumer electronics.
