5LS7

Snap action, limit switches are mechanical devices used to monitor the position and speed of a moving part within a mechanical system. The 5LS7 is a type of snap action, limit switch that offers a more reliable and consistent performance compared to standard limit switches. This section will look at the application fields and working principle of the 5LS7.

Application Fields

The 5LS7 offers a variety of applications, including industrial automation and motor control, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, and material handling. It is suitable for applications requiring high contact-force and long life. This switch also has integrated high-temperature and extreme-environment seals, which make it suitable for use in harsh environments.

In industrial automation and motor control, the 5LS7 is used in a wide range of applications, such as conveyor systems, packaging equipment, robotics, and production lines. It is also used in ventilation and air conditioning, pump and motor control, and pressure monitoring. In material handling, the 5LS7 can be used in lifting, tilting, and positioning. It is also used in mining systems, hydraulically operated systems, and for protection against overloads.

Working Principle

The 5LS7 snap action, limit switch is a failsafe mechanism that is designed to fail open in the event of an overload or fault. It is enclosed in a housing and consists of a plunger and spring housed within. The switch is triggered when the plunger is depressed by an object, such as a wheel, lever, or cam. When the object depresses the plunger, it releases a latch allowing the switch to operate.

The 5LS7 is designed to operate with minimal contact force and its built-in spring allows for a high contact force. The switch is also designed to operate at a designated temperature range, which can be customized depending on the application. This temperature range is typically between -20ºC and +125ºC, but can be adjusted to meet the specific requirements of the application.

The 5LS7 is designed to be extremely reliable, so it is typically used in applications that require consistent and reliable performance. The switch is also designed with a unique contact configuration, which ensures a high contact force and a reliable connection.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the 5LS7 snap action, limit switch is a versatile and reliable switch for a wide range of applications. It offers a high contact force and extended temperature range, making it suitable for use in harsh environments. The unique contact configuration ensures a reliable and consistent performance, making the 5LS7 ideal for applications that require reliable operation.
