Rotary Switches

The 71BDF36-03-2-AJN Rotary Switch is an electromechanical switch which utilizes an external power source to control an electrical circuit. Generally, the switch is composed of a contact ring, a rotor, and a stator. The contact ring is formed of a series of contacts located on the outside of the rotor and is usually coated with an insulating and conducting paint. When the power source is applied, the rotor rotates, which in turn moves the contact ring, which completes the circuit.

Applications and Working Principles

The 71BDF36-03-2-AJN Rotary Switches are typically used in a wide variety of applications, such as home appliances, vending machines, medical equipment, industrial control systems and computing applications. Depending on the type of switch, they may be used to control the power to a device, conduct signal routing, or select from a range of settings.

In order to operate, a power source is connected to the stator and the rotor. When the power is turned on, the stator’s magnetism causes the rotor to rotate. This in turn causes the contact ring to move around, allowing the contacts to move into either the open or closed positions, depending on the alignment of the rotor and the contact ring. By controlling the rotation of the rotor, the position of the contact ring can be changed, allowing the user to make a selection from a range of settings or control the power to a device.

The strength of the magnetic field created by the stator is adjustable, which allows the user to set a range of settings, or to select a specific setting. It is also possible to adjust the speed of the rotor, allowing the user to fine tune the selection process. Rotary switches can also be set to act as a latching switch, in which the switching action is only completed when the power is turned off, providing a greater level of control.

The 71BDF36-03-2-AJN Rotary Switch is a reliable and easy to use switch, providing a robust and versatile means of controlling electrical circuits. Furthermore, the switch is also highly customizable, allowing for a wide range of applications.
