18CX10 Application Field and Working Principle

The 18CX10 is a type of Snap Action, Limit Switches, which is mainly used in devices requiring precision contact points. The main purpose of this type of switch is to provide a reliable means of automation and control in applications such as motors, processing equipment, pumps, and other industrial machines.

Working Principle

The 18CX10 Snap Action, Limit Switches operate by using two opposing contact points. Using the contact points, the 18CX10 allows for the accurate measurement of current, voltage and other variations in the power supply.

The switch uses an electromagnet for its operation. When the contact points are connected, the electromagnet is activated and the contacts come together. This is called an \'actuated switch\'. When the contact points are disconnected, the electromagnet is no longer active and the contacts will disconnect. This is called a \'de-energized switch\'.

The 18CX10 can be set up to have either one or two actuated contact points. This allows for a variety of configurations, such as on-off, delayed on-off or break-before-make). In addition, the switch can be programmed to reset to the previous position after being actuated.

Field of Application

The 18CX10 is mainly used in processes requiring precision contact points including motors, pumps, industrial machines, processing equipment and consumer applications. It is also a popular choice when dealing with temperature control systems, as it can be used to detect changes in the ambient temperature.

Applications for this switch range from light commercial to heavy industrial use. Its ability to provide reliable automation control makes it a popular choice for applications in the automotive, nuclear, agricultural and military industries.

In addition, the 18CX10 can be used in a variety of home appliances and consumer products. It is commonly used in washing machines, refrigerators, microwaves and air conditioners. Its versatility and reliability make it a staple in the home appliance world.

Advantages

The 18CX10 is known for its reliable performance, low cost, and easy installation. The operation of the switch is highly reliable and its contact points are designed for precision triggering and resetting. The switch\'s design also ensures that it will not be affected by dust, water and vibration. Additionally, the switch is designed to be maintenance free and has a long operational life.

In addition, the 18CX10 is can be customised to suit specific requirements. This ensures that it will meet the needs of any application. The variety of contact configurations, materials and sizes also offer added flexibility when selecting a switch for a particular application.
