44524-9305

Snap Action, Limit Switches

A 44524-9305 is a versatile and robust snap action, limit switch. Its solid plastic housing provides it with an IP 67 protection rating and its small size, together with its rugged design make it ideal for a wide range of applications, from food and beverage packaging to industrial machinery.

At the heart of the switch lies a plunger with a considerable mechanical force that triggers when pushed or pulled, causing the actuator to either open or close the internal contacts. The plunger is spring-loaded, giving it mechanical snap action behavior that causes a small movement to cause a large mechanical force.

Application Field

The 44524-9305 Snap Action, Limit switch is suitable for a wide range of applications, such as material handling operations, linear motion control, and industrial automation.

In the area of material handling operations, the 44524-9305 can be used to detect and switch on/off specific types of end-of-line products. It can also be used to switch on/off conveyor systems.

In the area of linear motion, the 44524-9305 can be used to detect contact points, determine the amount of displacement in a linear actuator, or to indicate the physical position of a moveable part.

In the area of industrial automation, the 44524-9305 is used to detect contact points on an overhead crane to switch on/off various electrical components in the operation, such as conveyors, ovens, and lighting.

Working Principle

The 44524-9305 operates on an electro-mechanical principle. When the switch is actuated, an internal plunger is activated, which causes the internal contacts to open or close. The amount of force required to trigger the switch depends on the strength of the internal spring.

Features like adjustable contact force, a wide operating temperature range, and stable bounce-free operation make the 44524-9305 a perfect solution for industrial and commercial applications.

Conclusion

The 44524-9305 is a versatile and robust snap action, limit switch. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, such as material handling operations, linear motion control, and industrial automation. Its features, such as adjustable contact force and wide operating temperature range, make it an ideal solution for industrial and commercial applications.
