A snap action switch, or limit switch, is an electrical device used to detect and control a physical condition or process, such as a mechanical position or position change. They are typically mounted to the body of a machine such as conveyor belts, fans, motors, or other moving components and can be activated by manual push-button, roller lever, magnet, pressure, temperature, or remotely via a computer or other controlling device.The snap action switch consists of a mechanical contact system, which includes a normally open or normally closed contact that switches when a predetermined trigger point is reached. This movement triggers a spring-loaded contact system to switch the control circuit on or off. All snap action switches are closed when they are not being operated, making them a reliable and efficient way to control circuits and machines.The 83261615 snap action switch is designed for use in hostile environments, featuring a robust environment sealing, UL listed components and materials, extended temperature range, long life operation, and an IP67 environmental rating. Industrial applications this range of switches is suitable for include:•Motor control systems•Door and window controllers•Car or vehicle control•Emergency lighting systems•Security systems•HVAC systems•Machine control systemsThe 83261615 snap action switch features a “snap-in” installation, so it can be quickly and easily mounted in any industrial environment. The switch has two positions - the normally open position and the normally closed position. When the switch is triggered, the two positions will switch accordingly, allowing a remote signal to be sent or a circuit to be activated.The 83261615 switch also has an adjustable switching action, which can be set to respond to either a Latching (maintaining the same position even when power is removed) or to Momentary (returning to its original position after power is removed) action. It also has a range of adjustable reset delay times, which can be set to deal with continuous or single-action switching.The 83261615 switch features a wide range of environmental seals, protected against dust and water, and a variety of UL listed components, including magnetically protected screw terminals and a 3-position key-locking switch. The switch’s body is constructed from machined aluminum materials, ensuring robust and durable construction.Overall, the 83261615 snap action, limit switch is designed for industrial applications which require reliable operation in harsh environmental conditions. It features robust construction and a range of adjustable options to suit any application, making it an ideal choice for controlling and monitoring electrical systems in any industrial environment.
