8LS1-4C

Snap action limit switches are electro-mechanical devices which sense the position of a mechanical actuator and convert this information into an electric signal in order to control either other electromechanical equipment or an automatic system. The 8LS1-4C is an example of such a device. This switch features an adjustable actuator which allows the user to accurately adjust the amount of force required for the switch to register a change in position.

What Does 8LS1-4C Do?

The 8LS1-4C is a single-pole snap action limit switch suitable for use in controlling machinery, automation systems, and other industrial applications. It is available in two configurations, normally open and normally closed. It operates when the actuator is activated and snaps back to the original position when released. It has a contact load rating of up to 10A and a maximum operating temperature of 85°C.

Application Fields

The 8LS1-4C can be used in many different applications, including:

• Industrial machines
• Automation systems
• Surveillance systems
• Robotics
• Power tools

Working Principle

The 8LS1-4C uses a snap action mechanism which detects the position of an actuator and converts it into an electric signal. This signal is then used to control either electromechanical equipment or an automatic system. The switch is triggered when the actuator is activated and snaps back to the original position when it is released. The amount of force required to activate the switch can be adjusted using the adjustable actuator.

Advantages

The 8LS1-4C offers a number of advantages, including:

• High contact load rating (10A)
• Adjustable actuator for accurate control
• Rugged construction for reliable operation
• Easy installation

Conclusion

The 8LS1-4C is a versatile snap action limit switch which can be used in a variety of industrial applications. It is reliable, easy to install, and has an adjustable actuator for accurate control. It offers a contact load rating of up to 10A and a maximum operating temperature of 85°C.
