41EN1-6

Snap action, limit switches are micro switches that use a mechanical spring to deliver an electrical \'on\' or \'off\' signal when a set trigger point is reached. The 41EN1-6 series is a perfect choice for almost any application where a reliable switching system with a long life and minimum maintenance is needed such as automotive, medical and home appliance control systems.

What is a 41EN1-6 Switch?

The 41EN1-6 snap action, limit switch is a simple mechanical device that offers a wide range of switching operations at an economically viable price. It has robust construction and reliable performance, making it ideal for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. The switch has a robust and reliable design, consisting of a switch body and its contact points. The contacts can be either normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC), depending on the application it is used in.

Application Fields and Working Principle of the 41EN1-6 Switch

The 41EN1-6 can be used in a variety of applications such as automotive, medical and home appliance control. Generally speaking, its operation is similar to that of other limit switches; when a trigger point is reached, its mechanical spring delivers an electrical signal. Depending on the specific application, this signal can turn the device off, turn it on, or activate a toggle. In the case of automotive applications, the signal is often sent to an a fuel injection system, thus controlling the amount of fuel injected into the engine.

The 41EN1-6 switch is equipped with an adjustable cam that helps determine the point at which the mechanical spring will activate. When the cam is correctly adjusted, the contact points will open when the trigger point is reached, providing a signal to the corresponding electronic system. In some applications, the contact points must be configured so that they remain closed until the trigger point is reached.

Advantages of the 41EN1-6 Switch

The 41EN1-6 switch offers several advantages over other switching systems. It is reliable and long-lived, providing a reliable and consistent signal for as long as it is in operation. Additionally, because it is mechanical in nature, it requires no power supply and can be installed in areas with little or no access to an electricity source. The switch offers an extremely low maintenance requirement, making it ideal for applications designed to minimize downtime and equipment maintenance costs.

Furthermore, because of its robust construction, the 41EN1-6 switch can withstand a wide range of environmental conditions and temperatures. This makes it suitable for a variety of industrial and commercial applications, including those in harsh and extreme conditions.

Conclusion

The 41EN1-6 switch is a reliable and versatile micro-switch suitably able to cope with a wide range of applications. It has a long life, requires minimal maintenance and can withstand extreme temperatures and environments. This makes it an ideal choice for automotive, medical and home appliance control applications.
