44535-6420

Snap action, limit switches serve a very specific purpose - to detect when a limit has been reached or exceeded. Generally this is done by monitoring the movement of a physical part, such as a lever or actuator. The 44535-6420 is a snap action, limit switch that is used in a wide variety of applications. This article will provide an overview of the application field and working principle of the 44535-6420.

Application Field

The 44535-6420 limit switch is designed to be used in relatively critical applications where a reliable, accurate detection of a limit is required. It can be used as an adjustable stop in machine tools, a position sensor in automated production lines, or a limit detection mechanism for access control systems. It is also suitable for use in many other industrial applications where an adjustable sensing limit is required.

Structural Design

The 44535-6420 limit switch is an electromechanical device with a robust, yet compact, structure. It has a solid die-cast metal enclosure and a zinc-plated steel bar for maximum corrosion protection. Inside the enclosure is a contact block with a special long-life contact element that resists wear and deformation. In addition, the contact block is secured by a stainless steel spring that ensures reliable operation even when exposed to dirt and dust.

Working Principle

The 44535-6420 limit switch makes use of a simple operating principle. It is activated when an actuator, such as a lever or cam, moves a plunger. This movement triples the contact area between the contact block and the plunger, helping to ensure reliable contact and accurate sensing. When the limit is reached and exceeded, the contact block trips, breaking the electrical connection, and sending an alarm signal or activating an automated process.

Other Features

In addition to its reliable operation and accuracy, the 44535-6420 has several other features that make it especially suitable for use in industrial applications. It has an adjustable operating force setting, allowing for fine-tuned sensitivity. It also a low-noise rating and a high switching capacity, making it an excellent choice for use in sound-sensitive areas. Finally, it is easy to install and maintain, making it a cost-effective solution for any application.

Conclusion

The 44535-6420 limit switch is a robust and reliable electromechanical device designed for applications where precise, adjustable limit detection is required. Its simple operating principle and adjustable settings make it an excellent choice for a wide variety of industrial applications. Its corrosion-resistant, solid die-cast metal enclosure, stainless steel springs and long-life contacts make it suitable for use even in dusty or corrosive environments. Finally, its low noise rating and easy installation make it a cost-effective solution for any application.
