Snap-action limit switches play a vital role in automated control systems and mechanized equipment because they respond quickly, are dependable and offer long service life. It is economical, reliable and suitable switch to government specifications.

Application fields

• 831180C3.0 snap action limit switch is versatile and reliable. It can be used in various types of machineries and equipment, either commercially or residue.
• 831180C3.0 snap action limit switch works well for light industrial controls, home appliances and it is suitable for rough conditions.
• It is widely used for security and safety applications; for instance, in gas/oil furnaces and heat pumps, medical equipment, electronic consumer products and various kinds of automatic control systems.

Working principle

831180C3.0 snap action limit switch uses the principle of metal contact and metal contact changeover. Under normal conditions, the metal contact is connected, then when the moving object reaches its limited distance, the metal contact will open and make metal contact changeover by constantly pushing and releasing the silver rivet. The silver rivet is pressed to start the switch and return to its original position when the pressing force disappears, thereby disconnecting the circuit again.

Components

831180C3.0 snap action limit switch mainly consists of contact, working arm and terminal. The contact is the heart of a snap switch. It is designed to actuate and release repeatedly at the same repeated actuation circuit. The working arm is the actual moving part of the switch, and the terminal is connected to the circuit and send the move signal to the circuit.

Advantage and disadvantage

Advantage: 831180C3.0 snap action limit switch has quick and reliable action and a wide range of applications. It is designed for low voltage and low current application.

Disadvantage: It is prone to mechanical failure under electrical load, and it is difficult to adjust the actuation force.

Conclusion

831180C3.0 snap action limit switch is a popular and reliable tool for many security and industrial applications. It has a wide range of applications and is suitable for a variety of rough conditions. The working principle and components of the switch can apply the principle of metal contact and metal contact changeover. When you choose such limit switch, it is important to consider its advantages and disadvantages, such as mechanical failure under electrical load and difficulty adjusting the actuation force.
