4SX1-H58

Snap Action, Limit Switches

The 4SX1-H58 is a snap action limit switch with a wide range of applications. In the industrial, consumer and automotive sectors these products are designed to be used as door interlocks, safety switches and in applications requiring fixed position or end-stop triggering, among many others.

Applications

The 4SX1-H58 is frequently used as an interlock switch in all types of industrial, consumer and automotive applications, such as material handling equipment, doors, lifts, cranes and elevators, engines and engine starters, forklifts, off-road vehicles, machine tools and so on. It can also be used as a safety switch in robots, machine tools and other automated equipment. Further applications include switches for controlling lighting, motors, electric gates, temperature control, speed control and fire alarm systems.

Working Principle

The 4SX1-H58 is an electromechanical switch which utilises a spring mechanism for actuation. Actuation is parner by a plunger which is depressed when in the "ON" position and is raised again when returned to the "OFF" position. The plunger drives a power block which then actuates the contacts. The plunger can be held down by either a screw, a magnet or a lever depending on the application.

Advantages

The 4SX1-H58 has several key advantages compared to other switch types. It is lighter, smaller and more robust than most switches which make it ideal for use in industrial and consumer applications where space is at a premium. The switching speed is fast and reliable and the contact life is substantially increased due to its robust design. Further, the contact materials are corrosion and wear resistant so the switch is able to withstand high-speed operation without fail.

Conclusion

The 4SX1-H58 is a versatile and reliable switch which has been designed to cater to a wide range of applications across the industrial, consumer and automotive sectors. Its small size and robust design enable it to be used in applications where space is at a premium, while its fast switching speed and increased contact life make it an ideal choice for applications requiring reliable performance.
