38HM42

Snap Action, Limit Switches

The 38HM42 is a snap action limit switch designed for use in a variety of applications. In particular, it is designed for use in safety critical applications such as robotics and power generation/distribution equipment. Its construction consists of two parts: an actuator and a switch body. The actuator can be a plunger, lever, or other actuator capable of providing a snap action when pressed or released. The switch body contains the contacts, a spring-loaded snap action mechanism, and other components needed to make the switch work.

The working principle behind the 38HM42 is relatively simple. When the actuator is pressed or released, it triggers the switch body’s snap action mechanism. This releases the contacts, closing them, or opening them depending on the type of contact being used. When the contacts are closed, the switch turns on and when they are open, the switch turns off. This basic mechanism is what makes the 38HM42 suitable for a variety of applications.

The 38HM42 is mainly used in applications where accuracy and repeatability are important. It can be used to monitor speed and load, as well as to detect faults in various equipment. The switch can also be used to indicate the presence or absence of objects or material in a try or conveyor belt. Additionally, it can be used to detect position and alignment of components, or to detect overtemperature conditions.

The 38HM42 is a popular choice in industrial applications due to its high accuracy, long life and durability. It is constructed using robust materials, such as stainless steel and non-magnetic metals, to ensure long life and reliability. Additionally, it is designed to withstand shocks, vibration and extreme temperatures, making it suitable for use in harsh environments. The switch is also compatible with most standard mounting systems, allowing it to be easily installed in many types of equipment.

Overall, the 38HM42 is a reliable and robust limit switch designed for use in a number of safety critical applications. Its snap action mechanism ensures precise, accurate and repeatable operation, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications. Its ability to withstand harsh environments and its compatibility with most mounting systems make it a practical choice for industrial applications.
