Snap action, Limit Switches play an important role in multiple areas of the industry. An essential feature of this type of switch is its precision mechanism which triggers the switch to rapidly transition between its two states, allowing for accurate and reliable measurement. An example of this is the 831615C2.GB limit switch, whose application field and working principle are discussed in this article.

Application Field of 831615C2.GB Limit Switches

The 831615C2.GB is a form C limit switch with a hermetically sealed chamber and stainless steel actuator. It is designed for use in hazardous and/or high vibration environments. Common applications for this switch include machine tools, surface preparation equipment, railway equipment, agricultural machinery, food processing machinery, and chemical processing systems.

Working Principle of 831615C2.GB Limit Switches

At the heart of the 831615C2.GB switch is a snap-action mechanism. This is a type of switch where the contacts rapidly transition between the open and closed position when actuated. This is achieved due to the snap action mechanism which consists of a biasing spring and camming action which causes the contacts to make or break rapidly.

When actuated, the camming action causes the moveable contacts to move rapidly towards the fixed contacts and open or close the circuit in a fraction of a second. This instantaneous operation leads to precise and reliable measurements. Moreover, because of the nature of the snap action mechanism, it is able to operate reliably in high vibration and shock environments.

Conclusion

The 831615C2.GB limit switch is a precise and reliable switch suitable for use in hazardous and high vibration environments. Its precise snap-action mechanism offers precise control of the switch and its contacts. Through this, it is able to accurately measure and respond to environmental conditions, allowing for precise and reliable operation.
