Snap Action, Limit Switches Application Field and Working Principle

831860CFG0.0 is a common type of snap action limit switch. This type of switch is often used when tracking position, activating an alarm, counting, and so on. It can be used in a variety of settings, including industrial automation, consumer electronics, and even everyday life.

Working Principle

Snap action limit switches are comprised of a contact system and an actuator. The contact system consists of two pieces of metal which complete an electrical circuit whenever they make contact. When the actuator is triggered, the two pieces of metal come together and complete the circuit. The actuator is typically an external button, switch, or lever. When this external device activates the switch, a signal is sent to the circuit.

The contact system is a key feature of all snap action limit switches. The contacts are designed to open or close, depending on the position of the actuator. For 831860CFG0, this position is located at the horizontal part of the lever. When the actuator reaches this position, the contacts close, allowing the circuit to be completed. This action is what gives 831860CFG0 its “snapping” characteristic.

applications

Snap action limit switches are often used in applications which require precise tracking of a linear movement. When used this way, the snap action switch acts as a digital “stopwatch”, triggering an action at a precise moment in time.

831860CFG0 snap action switches can be used in a variety of industrial automation settings. They can be used as actuators and sensors in machines, such as robotic arms and conveyor belts. They can also be used to track precise movements of objects, such as chopping a piece of wood or positioning a machine part.

Outside of the industrial realm, 831860CFG0 switches can be found in consumer electronics, such as computers and gaming consoles. They can also be found in everyday life, for example, in door bell systems and fire alarms.

In conclusion, 831860CFG0 snap action limit switches are versatile devices used in many applications. They are designed to act as precise sensors and actuators, tracking linear motions or activating alarms and other actions with the push of a button or switch.
