Snap Action, Limit Switches

The 18CX10HM-D01E snap action, limit switch, is a switch device used to detect the presence of an object, or control the position of a mechanism. It is a type of switch that is most often used when a device needs to be turned on or off manually, or when an object needs to be located or moved. The snap action switch operates by actuating two snap-action blades that mechanically snap back into place when a force is applied. As the blade moves, an internal plunger is depressed, and the switch can be used to either pneumatically or electrically actuate the switch contacts.

The 18CX10HM-D01E snap action, limit switch comes in a variety of configurations and is UL and CSA-approved for safety and reliability. It is available in both 1- and 2-pole versions, which can be mounted in both horizontal and vertical orientations. The switch is rated up to 2A and 250V, and is available with a range of actuator options and operating speeds. It also features a silver-alloy contact and is sealed to protect against moisture and other contaminants.

The 18CX10HM-D01E snap action, limit switch offers various applications and can be used in machinery and equipment, such as automatic doors and elevators, materials handling, packaging machinery, and production machinery. It is also used in automotive applications, such as in automatic transmission systems, for safety and convenience. Additionally, it is also often used as a security device, such as door locks, to protect equipment from theft or unauthorized access.

The 18CX10HM-D01E snap action, limit switch works on the principle of two blades operation. When a small manual force is applied, one of the blades snaps back into place within a fraction of a second, actuating an internal plunger to pressure the switch contacts. The plunger will close the switch contacts, creating a circuit which will either open or close depending on the type of switch. This is the mechanical process of operatig the switch.

The 18CX10HM-D01E snap action, limit switch is a reliable switch solution with a long life expectancy. It has high-quality electrical contacts and is resistant to vibration, shock and extreme temperatures, making it suitable for a range of applications. The switch is also easy to install and maintain and is complete with an easy to follow installation manual.
