Snap Action, Limit Switches

The 1XE3 series is a type of electrical switch commonly known as a snap action, limit switch. These switches feature a range of motion or "snap" which is actuated by movement of an operating head, with the motion either closing or opening an electrical contact. Designed primarily for industrial use, these switches have become common across commercial and home-based applications due to their cost-effectiveness and reliable operation.

Construction

The 1XE3 switch is constructed of high-grade materials and has been independently tested to ensure the safety and quality of the contact form. This series uses a fixed and rotating jaw-style contact design and a stainless steel operating head for adjustable cam action. A molded operating rod is used for flexing action and is adjustable to provide the desired current requirements.

Operating Principle

This series operates on the principle of a toggle or snap-action mechanism. The switch is designed to function with a minimum amount of force applied to the switch in order to activate the contact, leading to a snap or gear-like action. When the switch is in the resting state, the contact is kept open by the internal spring action of the switch.

When the switch is actuated, the operating head and flexing rod causes the contacts to close, completing the circuit and allowing current to flow. When the force is released, the switch returns to its resting state, opening the contact and turning off the flow of current. Depending on the configuration, the switch can be set to either open or close when actuated.

Applications

As a reliable and low-cost electrical switch, the 1XE3 series is mostly used in applications where motion or vibration is involved. This includes industrial automation, robotics, conveyor systems, and other machinery, as well as home-based applications such as garage doors, water heaters, and security systems. The sealed construction and adjustable contact form make them ideal for use in extreme environments such as dusty, wet, and corrosive industrial sites.

Benefits

The 1XE3 series offers several advantages when compared to other types of limit switches. These switches feature a sealed construction which prevents dust and debris from entering the contact area and compromising its operation. An adjustable cam action allows for precise control and accurate switching, while a robust design ensures reliable operation. All parts are also easily replaced, leading to cost-effective maintenance.

Conclusion

The 1XE3 Series of snap action, limit switches offers many advantages in both industrial and commercial applications. With its sealed construction, adjustable cam action and reliable operation, these switches provide an economical and durable solution for motion-based applications. With its low-cost and reliable operation, the 1XE3 switch has become a popular choice for a wide range of applications.
