Snap Action, Limit Switches - 83894120

83894120 Snap Action, Limit Switches are simple electro-mechanical devices used in the control and communication circuits of electrical machines.They are most commonly used to switch on or off an electrical device when a certain limit has been reached. The switching action is performed without any user intervention, and is triggered by a change in the current, voltage, or other form of energy triggered by a manual switch or sensing element. 83894120 limit switches are available in a variety of shapes and sizes, and are also often referred to as "tilt switches" or "high-low switches".

Application Fields

83894120 Snap Action, Limit Switches are widely used in many industrial application fields. Examples of these application fields range from the automotive industry to product safety systems, such as door and window opening and closing sensors, lift/elevator limit switches, security systems, automatic plant protection systems and keyless entry systems.

Other application fields in which 83894120 Snap Action, Limit Switches are used include robotics, elevators, material handling systems, medical equipment, motor control, motors and actuators, heavy-duty conveyors, food processing and packaging equipment, automated production lines and solar energy systems.

Working Principle

The 83894120 Snap Action, Limit Switch has a simple operating principle. It consists of a contact, a spring mounted lever, and a contact-actuator, which can be a plunger or roller. As the contact-actuator is actuated by an external force, such as a mechanical motion, the contact is opened or closed, depending on the contact\'s initial position. When the outside force is removed, the contact returns to its original position, switching the current on or off.

When the contact is closed, current flows through the circuit, triggering the switch, activating the relay, and allowing the current to flow. This is accomplished through the contact-actuator, which is mounted on the spring-actuated lever. The contact can be opened and closed many times, but the lever will only remain engaged when a certain force is applied continuously. This ensures that the safety circuit is engaged while the device is being used.

Conclusion

83894120 Snap Action, Limit Switches are incredibly versatile and easy to use devices that can be used for a variety of applications. They allow for a circuit to be switched on or off by the application of an external force, and can be used in all sorts of industrial, robotic, medical, and production control applications. They are simple, reliable, and are sure to continue providing safety and automation solutions in the industrial and manufacturing sectors for years to come.
