44505-1330

Snap action limit switches are electromechanical components operated by an external force. These switches utilize a set of internal contacts to turn on and off the power supplied to a given system. The 44505-1330 snap action limit switch is designed for use in industrial and commercial applications to provide remote switching, position monitoring and other control functions.

Construction and Operation

The 44505-1330 snap action limit switch consists of two main parts: a plunger and an actuator. The actuator is typically a spring-loaded lever, cam or bellows, which, when activated, moves the plunger. When the plunger is moved to its limit, contacts open or close to control the current flow within the circuit.

Application Field and Working Principle

Snap action limit switches are used as remote switching and motion sensing devices in industrial, commercial and residential applications. They are often used in automation systems and robotic arms to switch or limit the motion of a particular component or system. An example of these switches in use would be the limit switch on a conveyor belt system to stop or start the belt when a particular position is reached. Following is an overview of the working principle of a 44505-1330 snap action limit switch.

• The actuator triggers the plunger to activate the contacts.
• When the plunger reaches its predetermined limit, the contacts open or close.
• The contacts open when a "limit" is reached, cutting off the current supply and preventing the component or system from operating any further.
• The contacts close when a "limit" is reached, allowing the current supply to the component or system to turn on and allowing the component to operate again.

The 44505-1330 snap action limit switch is capable of providing a quick, reliable response to a wide range of conditions, making them ideal for applications where precise motion detection or remote switching is required. With their high switching accuracy, they are also ideal for controlling the speed of a conveyor belt or other moving part.

Conclusion

The 44505-1330 snap action limit switch is a robust, reliable and efficient switch for a variety of industrial and commercial applications. Their accurate operation, fast response time and low profile design make them a popular choice for motion detection and remote switching. As technology continues to advance, the 44505-1330 snap action limit switch will remain a valuable tool for controlling the motions of machinery and equipment.
