822EN53-6

Snap Action, Limit Switches

The 822EN53-6 is a snap action, limit switch designed to detect and react to limit positions or presence of an object. It has a variety of applications in a number of industries. This article will discuss the 822EN53-6\'s application field and working principle.

Application Field

The 822EN53-6 is a preferred choice of switch for use in applications such as door/window detection, elevator detection, processes or machines instrumentation and production line automation. Its robust design also makes it suitable for use in hazardous or explosive environments, providing a safe and reliable detection solution.

It is also often used to detect the position of parts in a semi-automated production line. With its high repeat accuracy and mechanical life of 5 million cycles, it guarantees that each part will be correctly detected and manipulated. Furthermore, its snap action design allows for quick and accurate positioning of parts, making it an ideal choice for automated inspection lines.

Working Principle

The 822EN53-6 switch is a mechanical device that works by utilizing a snap action spring mechanism. A plate with two contact points is moved by the pressurized spring against a lower plate, which is connected to the switch body. When the plate is pulled or pushed by an object, the pressure increases, pushing the two contact points together and completing the circuit, thus providing a signal.

The switch is actuated through a cam or lever. Depending on the purpose of usage, different cams and levers can be used to vary the sensitivity and direction of the switch. The 822EN53-6 also offers several levels of protection, such as IP67 dust and watertightness, which gives it flexibility for various operation conditions.

Conclusion

The 822EN53-6 is a high-precision, snap action limit switch designed for reliable performance and flexibility in a variety of applications. It is constructed from robust materials and offers protection from dust and water, as well as high repeat accuracy and a mechanical life of 5 million cycles. Its snap action design also allows for quick and accurate detection, enabling it to be used in automated production lines. All these features combined make the 822EN53-6 an ideal choice for applications in hazardous or explosive environments, door/window detection, elevator detection, processes or machines instrumentation, and production line automation.
