Snap Action, Limit Switches

Snap action switches (SAS), also known as limit switches, are mechanical devices that are used to detect physical objects, such as arms, cams, lugs, levers and stops. These switches are used to make or break mechanical as well as electrical circuits. This can be used to switch on/off a motor or an alarm, amongst others. Snap action switches are mostly used in a wide range of home and industrial applications.

83875112 Application Field and Working Principle

The 83875112 Snap Action Switch can be used in different applications with different functions and capabilities. It can be used for sensing the location and movement of a mechanical part in equipment, in a variety of safety switches, proximity switches, and for controlling certain windows, doors and other kinds of security devices. This device generally has two electrical circuits (poles) arranged in a crosswise manner, which are connected to one another when they reach their switching point.

The 83875112 switch has a knob that engages in a cam or a lever, such that when the knob is squeezed or moved into a predetermined position, the contacts of the switch come into contact and separate again, as soon as the knob is released. This actuator mechanism helps to provide a physical indication of the position of the switch, known as tactile feedback. The mechanism of operation of this type of switch usually takes place due to the force of a spring acting through a lever or cam.

For example, the 83875112 switch can be used in security systems to open and close doors, and to activate and deactivate alarms. It can also be used in industrial processes such as machine tools and conveyors, where it can be used to detect the presence of a part, or to indicate the position of a certain part. It is also used in control circuits for various equipment, such as measuring instruments and robots, amongst other automated systems.

The 83875112 switch is also used in automotive and marine applications, where it is used to activate the ignition and start of the engine, to control fuel pumps and other mechanical systems and to operate safety devices such as brakes. In addition, it can also be used in power tools and other devices to detect the presence of an operator.

The 83875112 switch is a cost effective, reliable and robust device, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. It is also easy to install and maintain, making it ideal for use in industrial, commercial and other applications where reliable switching is required.
