835811BCC.5

Snap Action, Limit Switches

The 835811BCC.5 is a type of snap action limit switch, often used in low voltage applications. It is easy to install, typically with two screws and a bracket that secure the switch in the application field, providing sturdiness and reliability. The 835811BCC.5 switch senses mechanical motion, typically when some other piece of equipment moves or changes state.

Device Features

The 835811BCC.5 features a standard enclosure, with a host of options that can be customized to fit the application. It features a SPDT (since-pole-double throw) construction with a 1/4 horse power rating at 125/250 VAC, a maximum current of 30 amps and up to 20,000 operations per hour.

The mobility of the actuator is key for this switch, as it determines the "snap" action when the switch reaches its limit. This mobility is achieved by a special, calibrated actuator, and the switch is designed to snap quickly and consistently across single, double and triple movements.

Working Principle

The 835811BCC.5 works on a simple principle. Its actuator holds a contact assembled on the spring-loaded plunger. When the material reaches the preset "trip" position, the actuator snaps in to contact the electrical terminal, activating the switch.

The 835811BCC.5 is typically suitable for two-wire control, making it especially effective when used to control direct current equipment, such as motors and pumps. The design allows for adjustable switching with variable spring forces, making the switch ideal for variable speed control applications.

Applications of the 835811BCC.5

The 835811BCC.5 is typically used in low-voltage applications such as pumps, HVAC, and agricultural equipment. Its main application is as a limit switch, being used to measurement a material\'s stopping point. For example, in HVAC systems, it can be used to control the temperature or air flow to a room. It also has applications as a safety switch for equipment, which is useful for most machinery.

The 835811BCC.5 is also useful for controlling motor speed, especially for variable speed applications that require the switch to make consistent contact. The switch can be mounted to the motor, allowing it to activate the motor at the correct speeds, making it ideal for applications where speed control is critical.

Conclusion

The 835811BCC.5 is a versatile snap action limit switch that is suitable for a variety of low voltage applications. It is easy to install, typically with two screws and a bracket, and features SPDT construction, 1/4 horse power rating at 125/250 VAC, and a maximum current of 30 amps. Additionally, its adjustable spring force allows for variable switching, making it perfect for speed control applications.
