38HM10

Snap Action, Limit Switches

The 38HM10 is a multifunctional snap action limit switch for a variety of applications. Snap action limit switches are a type of mechanical switch that is activated when a certain amount of pressure is applied to it. This type of limit switch is typically used in applications that require a fast and reliable switch. The basic design of a snap action switch consists of a spring-loaded contacts, a lever and an actuator.

Application Field

The 38HM10 is suitable for a wide range of applications. It is commonly used in industrial machinery, such as elevators, conveyor belts, and packaging machines. The 38HM10 is also ideal for use in automotive applications, such as throttle position sensors, and fuel injector systems. The 38HM10 is also used in robotics, lighting, and other motion control applications. The 38HM10 can be used in wet and corrosive environments, as well as extreme temperatures.

Working Principle

The 38HM10 operates on a simple principle. When the actuator is pressed, the contacts open, allowing for a change in the electrical circuit. When the actuator is released, the contacts close, completing the circuit and providing a feedback signal. The 38HM10 is adjustable for two types of operation: momentary (a single switch cycle) and latching (continuous).

The 38HM10 can be configured for either a normally closed or normally open operation. In a normally closed configuration, the contacts are open when the actuator is pressed and close when the actuator is released. In a normally open configuration, the contacts are closed when the actuator is pressed and open when the actuator is released.

Features

The 38HM10 offers a variety of features and benefits, including an adjustable force and travel, an adjustable switching frequency, and a wide operating temperature range. The 38HM10 is designed to be dust and water-resistant, with an IP67 rating. It is also RoHS compliant, making it an environmentally responsible choice. The 38HM10 is UL listed for use in hazardous locations.

Conclusion

The 38HM10 is a great choice for applications that require a reliable, fast-acting limit switch. The 38HM10 is capable of operating in a wide range of environments, from hazardous locations to wet and corrosive environments. The 38HM10 is adjustable for two types of operation and offers a wide operating temperature range. The 38HM10 is also dust and water-resistant and UL listed for use in hazardous locations, making it an environmentally responsible choice.
