Snap Action, Limit Switches

A snap-action, limit switch is an electrical switch actuated by a physical object; it is most commonly used to detect the presence or absence of an object. It is also known as a snap switch, break switch, snap action switch, snap acting switch or snap action contact, and is widely used in industrial automation, marine instrumentation, and instrumentation. The 831060C1.AL snap action switch operates on the principle of electromechanical operation and is designed for use in harsh environments.

The 831060C1.AL snap action switch consists of two parts, namely a stationary contact arm and a movable contact arm. When a mechanical force, such as a button push, is applied to the movable arm, an electrical contact is made between the two arms. This causes a voltage to be generated, which is then sent to an output device. The electrical current then flows through the contact arm and triggers the required action, such as switching off a motor or opening a door.

The 831060C1.AL is especially useful for applications where reliable and adjustable detection is required. Its adjustable movement range is between 0.06 mm (0.003") to 6 mm (0.24"). This adjustable range allows the switch to be used in a range of temperatures up to 248°F (120°C) and a range of pressures from -20 psi to 300 psi. This switch is designed to operate under higher temperature, humidity and pressure applications.

The 831060C1.AL can be used for various applications, including in head, tail, and lateral lamp detection in automobiles, alarms, and signals. It is also commonly used in commercial switches, electronic locks and door hardware, water management systems, and industrial automation. The 831060C1.AL provides reliable contact, long life, and adjustable detection range. It is an inexpensive, reliable and robust switch.

The 831060C1.AL snap-action switch is a very reliable and robust switch. The snap-action mechanism makes it ideal for applications where adjustable detection is required, and it can be used in a range of temperatures and pressures. This switch is available in a variety of mounting styles and contact configurations, making it suitable for a wide variety of applications.
