16CX2C

Snap action switches are popular in nearly every engineering discipline and are used to break a circuit during a rapid overtravel event. Limiting switches are a kind of snap action switch that is designed for repeatability and precision. 16CX2C limit switches are specifically designed for space-constrained applications and provide reliable overtravel protection without sacrificing functionality or accuracy.

The 16CX2C limit switch is a precision mechanical switch utilizing a combination of a high-precision bearing and a unique mechanical design. It is designed to provide low-cost overtravel protection in a wide range of applications. This style of switch is widely used in industrial equipment and automation, such as food processing, manufacturing, and agriculture. The primary benefit of a 16CX2C limit switch is its ability to detect and isolate faults in a circuit while protecting the rest of the circuit from harm.

The operation of a 16CX2C limit switch is fairly simple. When a mechanical overtravel event occurs, the switch closes and breaks the circuit. This ensures that no current can continue to flow should the event exceed the set limits. The closed state is maintained until a reset action resets the switch. This reset action is typically a manual action, using a switch, button, or key.

The 16CX2C limit switch also has several other features that make it a reliable and versatile choice for over travel protection. The switch is designed to withstand shock and vibration, which is especially important in industrial and agricultural applications. Additionally, the switch is designed for extreme temperatures, making it resist the harsh conditions found in manufacturing, food processing, and agricultural settings. Finally, the switch has a contact bounce feature that allows it to close the circuit before the current is interrupted, ensuring accuracy.

The 16CX2C limit switch is a reliable, cost-effective solution for a wide range of over travel protection applications. Its simple design, durability, and accuracy make it an ideal choice for many industrial settings. With its small form factor and ability to withstand shock and vibration, the 16CX2C limit switch is an ideal solution for space-constrained applications where over travel protection is essential.
