Snap Action, Limit Switches

A 83733314 snap action, limit switch is a mechanical device designed to detect the presence or absence of an object. It is a two-state device, meaning it has two positions, either open or closed. In its closed state, the switch completes an electrical circuit, activating the equipment\'s functioning. In its open state, the switch breaks the electrical connection, and the electrical current is not able to flow.

The 83733314 snap action, limit switch is constructed from two metallic pieces, with a spring that connects the two. A lever is then attached to the end of the spring with a roller resting on the surface of the switch. When an object passes over the roller, it depresses the roller, which actuates the switch and initiates the electrical connection.

The snap action, limit switch is most commonly used in safety equipment, such as window or door sensors and fire alarms. In these devices, the snap action, limit switch is wired to a computer and will detect if a door or window is opened or if smoke is detected. When the switch is in its closed state, this signals to the computer that the door or window is closed or that there is no smoke present. When the switch is in its open state, the computer will interpret this as an indication that the door or window has been opened or that there has been a smoke detected.

In addition to safety applications, the 83733314 snap action, limit switch is used to control industrial equipment such as conveyor belts and robot arms. In these applications, the switch can be activated by a variety of objects, including a finger, glove, or arm. The switch is then used to control the direction and speed of the arm, conveyor belt, or other industrial device.

The 83733314 snap action, limit switch is also used in the entryway to a building. The switch is wired to an electrical door latch, and when the switch is in its closed state, the latch is released and the door can then be opened. This ensures that only authorized personnel can gain access to the building.

The 83733314 snap action, limit switch is a reliable and efficient device that allows for automated control of equipment. Its simple construction and versatility make it a popular choice for both safety and industrial applications.
