Snap action switches are a type of limit switch designed to open or close contacts rapidly when a certain force threshold is reached. Snap action switches are also known as micro switches, reed switches, and tipping point switches. These devices are used in a variety of applications, including controlling the flow of current in electrical systems and controlling the timing of mechanical devices. The following guide will provide an overview of the 83242000 application field and working principle of snap action switches.

Common Applications for Snap Action Switches

Snap action switches can be used in a variety of applications, from small to large scale. They are often used in a wide range of industrial and commercial settings, including residential and commercial buildings, factories, warehouses and other commercial sites. In addition, they are frequently used in robotics, automotive, aircraft, machines and other mechanical systems. They can also be used to control the operation and timing of pumps, motors and other mechanical devices. Snap action switches are also used in medical and laboratory equipment.

Working Principle of Snap Action Switches

Snap action switches are designed to detect physical changes or input signals and then rapidly operate a switch’s contacts. Typically, snap action switches use a mechanical spring and lever design to create a tipping point between the contacts, which is then triggered when a certain force is applied. Once this force threshold is achieved, the contacts rapidly close or open, depending on the design of the switch. The action is considered to be “snap” like, hence the name snap action switches.

In some cases, an electrical or magnetic field is used to sense a certain threshold in order to open or close contacts rapidly. This type of switch is generally known as a reed switch and is commonly used in applications where a higher level of accuracy is required. For example, in medical devices or laboratory equipment, it is important that a switch is able to reliably detect a certain level of input or process.

To ensure that the switch maintains its reliable performance over time, it is important to regularly clean the contacts and check that they are operating correctly. Additionally, the switch should be tested regularly to ensure it is functioning within normal parameters.

Conclusion

Snap action switches are an important component of industrial and commercial equipment, ensuring that machines and systems work safely and efficiently. They are designed to rapidly open or close contacts when a certain force threshold is reached and can be used in a wide range of applications, including robotics, medical equipment and machinery. Understanding the application field and working principle of snap action switches will ensure that they are used effectively and maintained properly.
