Snap action, limit switches are useful in controlling motors, conveyors and other automated machinery involved in modern manufacturing processes. The 14SX101-T is one such switch, designed to react quickly and precisely to limits of position, speed or pressure. Installed for safety purposes, such switches must be constructed to withstand long-term operation in rugged industrial environments.

The 14SX101-T comprises two parts, an actuator and a switch. The actuator is a metal bar mounted to the outside of a circuit board (or directly to the piece of machinery), while the switch is inside the board. The actuator contains a metal ball, which comes into contact with a set of contacts when the switch is in its neutral position. When the switch is activated, the ball is forced off the contacts, which is a “snap action”; that is, the switch is actuated very quickly, providing a sharp, controlled breaking and restoring of electrical connections.

The 14SX101-T’s snap action is extremely repeatable, allowing the switch to be used in an application with repeatable cycle times. The contacts are made from hardened steel and feature high temperature tolerance (up to 200°C). The switches can operate in environments ranging from -55°C to +85°C.

The 14SX101-T is most often used to provide end-of-travel feedback in industrial machinery. When the actuator is depressed to a preset limit, the switch is activated and triggers a protective circuit, which stops the machinery from running out of position or past a predetermined speed limit. This switch can also be used to check the position of automated parts during fabrication stages in modern assembly lines.

On many machines, limit switches such as the 14SX101-T replace mechanical limit switches or cam followers. While mechanical switches are limited in terms of switch accuracy and the number of contacts, the 14SX101-T offers precise switching for a wide range of cycle times with high reliability (up to 10,000,000 cycles). Additionally, because the 14SX101-T is a snap action switch, it eliminates the risk of operator error, as it eliminates the need to manually set and reset the switch.

Overall, the 14SX101-T limit switch is an excellent choice for controlling the protection of operational machinery in factory processes. The snap action switch affords precise control with no manual adjustment, and it is highly reliable, making it a suitable choice for mission-critical applications.
