831612A3.AB

Snap action switch, also known as snap action limit switch and micro switch, is a kind of automated action switch that has the characteristics of fast reaction speed, reliable performance and long service life. In the applications of industrial automation, it was widely used in the industrial process control and machinery, or even in the home automation equipment. The 831612A3.AB snap action, limit switch is acted as a kind of control switch. It\'s usually used to detect physical parameters, including pressure, liquid level, temperature and so on.

The 831612A3.AB snap action, limit switch usually consists of two work pieces, a moveable unit and a fixed unit. In the normal state, the moveable unit is forced to the fixed unit by linkage, so that it can be easily holded to the initial state. Once it is triggered, the moveable unit will move in a certain angle, resulted in the change of the switch state. Generally speaking, the 831612A3.AB snap action, limit switch is widely used in various kinds of machinery and buildings to turn on/off certain parts. It\'s often used in doors, windows, positioning systems and buttons.

In terms of the working principle, the 831612A3.AB snap action, limit switch contains a moveable unit and a spring. In the normal state, the pressure of the spring will keep the moveable unit closed, where it blocks the electrical contacts to break the circuit with power supplied, making the switch in the "off" state. After triggered, the moveable unit shall move along with the spring, which causes the switch to open, creating "on" state. The spring also has a return effect, so when releasing the pressure of the spring, it will return the moveable unit to the "off" position.

To be concluded, the 831612A3.AB snap action, limit switch is an essential part in the automation process. With its simple structure, fast reaction speed and reliable performance, it can be widely used in various kinds of industrial automation applications such as door, window, button control, as well as industrial process control and machinery. Its working principle is relatively simple and straightforward, so it\'s quite easy for users to operate and maintain this switch.
