Snap action limit switches offer excellent performance and reliability in wide range of applications ranging from commercial to industrial settings. An electronic limit switch\'s working principle is based on the connection of two or more contacts that move together and, when triggered, effect a change in the electrical contact. The contacts of the electronic limit switch are spaced so as to move a set amount of distance before making contact again, thus providing a predetermined amount of movement as the electrical contacts open when triggered. When released, the contacts close once again.

These switches are designed for either AC (alternating current) or DC (direct current) applications, depending on the purpose. An AC snap action limit switch will generally provide higher currents than a DC snap action switch. The current-carrying capacity of the snap action switch will depend on the type of contact material used, such as silver plating or metal-oxide. It is important to note that most snap action limit switches can be operated at higher voltages than their rated voltage.

Snap action limit switches are commonly used in industrial automation systems, such as in the control of robots, conveyors, and robotic assemblies. They can also be used as integrated circuit switches to control the flow of signals and data between devices, such as sensors and actuators, and the control system. In the process industry, these switches are used for the control of pumps, valves and fans, as well as for applications such as position sensing and lift detection.

Snap action limit switches offer numerous advantages, such as low contact resistance, extremely high contact pressure, and a wide range of operating temperatures. The contacts are generally designed for high current operation and are suitable for applications requiring frequent switching between different voltages or currents. The switches also have a long life, making them ideal for applications where longevity is required.

In addition to their reliable and versatile performance, snap action limit switches provide a significant degree of safety. The switches are designed to operate within strict guidelines and are tested to meet those parameters. The contacts are also designed to prevent any over-stress and the electrical contacts maintain a tight connection once closed.

The versatility of snap action limit switches makes them suitable for almost any industrial application and they can be easily integrated into an automated system. The ability to be used in different applications and to be customized are two of the reasons why snap action switches are so popular. The wide variety of switches available, from basic to highly advanced, means that there is a model available to meet any requirements.

Snap action limit switches are a cost-effective and reliable solution for many industries, providing excellent performance and long-term reliability. Their versatility, reliability and cost-effectiveness make them an attractive choice for a wide range of applications.
