426HE16-8

Snap Action, Limit Switches: 426HE16-8 application field and working principle

The 426HE16-8 is a type of snap action, limit switch designed to detect the presence of an alcoholic or polar solution. It can be used for sensing the presence or absence of polar or non-polar solutions in a process. Used mainly for monitoring function such as feeding, detonating, temperature and pressure, the 426HE16-8 is a reliable, relatively inexpensive, and versatile limit switch.

The switches are rated for 0.75A at 250V AC, 1A at 28V DC, which is perfect for most industrial applications. They have a dielectric strength of 2Kv and an insulating resistance of 1000MΩ. This gives them an excellent environmental isolation and operation even under harsh conditions.

The body of the 426HE16-8 is constructed of stainless steel and this increases its durability as well as its corrosion resistance. The limit switch has an internal mechanism made up of springs, pins and levers which actuate the switch when a particular threshold has been reached. This allows for a very simple yet reliable operation.

The 426HE16-8 has a wide range of applications including controlling the operation of machines and operations or as safety devices. It can be used for monitoring and controlling the operation of a wide range of industrial equipment such as motors, pumps, conveyors, compressors, generators, etc. It is also used for monitoring and controlling of industrial processes such as tank levels, temperature, pressure, and flow.

The 426HE16-8 operates on the principle of mechanical spring actuation. When a limit or threshold has been reached, a spring or lever inside the device is compressed and causes a switch to change its contact state. This contact state change is used to turn off or on a particular device, indicate the existence of a particular condition, or alert an operator to a certain problem.

Overall, the 426HE16-8 is a reliable and reasonably priced limit switch which provides a safe and effective way to monitor and control a wide range of industrial equipment and processes. It is constructed of highly durable materials and has an excellent environmental resistance. The switch has an internal mechanism which can be actuated by the presence or absence of a particular threshold, making it ideal for sensing and switching off or on industrial machines and operations.
