1XE217

Snap Action, Limit Switches

1XE217 is a snap action, limit switch with a variety of features. It is used in a variety of applications such as industrial automation, industrial safety, process control and security systems. The switch consists of a housing with a contact and a mechanical system that acts as a pivot to actuate the contact when a force is applied. The contact closes or opens when the force is applied.

Applications

The 1XE217 is used for industrial automation, industrial safety, and process control. It can be used for various applications such as motor starters, solenoid valves, limit switches and position sensing, and can be used in applications that require high accuracy.

The switch is also used in security systems, where it can detect door opening and closing, or window opening and closing. It can also be used as part of a safety system to detect the presence of personnel in dangerous areas, or to detect leakage in water systems.

Working Principle

The 1XE217 operates on the principle of snap action. This means that a force is applied to the switch and when a predetermined threshold is reached, the contact is activated. The switch has two contact forms, normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC).

The NO contact is open when no force is applied and closes when the force is applied. The NC contact is closed when no force is applied and opens when the force is applied. In addition, the switch has two adjustable operating points, a break point and a make point. The break point is the point at which the NO contact is opened and the make point is the point at which the NC contact is closed.

The 1XE217 switch is normally used in conjunction with an actuator such as a lever, plunger, or cam. When the actuator is moved, it applies the required force to the switch and the contact is actuated. When the force is removed, the contact returns to its original state.

Advantages

The 1XE217 is an effective and reliable switch, as it has a high accuracy and is able to switch contacts rapidly without any noticeable delay. It is also easy to install and maintain, as it is designed with a low profile housing. Furthermore, it is available in a variety of materials, such as plastic and metal, and is designed for a wide range of temperatures and humidity.

The switch is also reliable, as it can operate for millions of operations without any noticeable degradation in performance.

Conclusion

The 1XE217 snap action, limit switch is a reliable, accurate, and easy to install switch. It is suitable for a wide range of industrial automation, process control, and security applications and is available in a variety of materials and a wide range of temperatures and humidity.
