914CE1-Q1

Snap Action, Limit Switches

The 914CE1-Q1 is an industrial snap action switch, also known as a limit switch, which is used in the automation space. It can detect the presence of objects and be used to control components in an industrial space. It consists of an actuator and switch contacts. When the actuator is in the “open” position, the contacts are normally closed. When the actuator is in the “closed” position, the contacts are normally opened.

Application Fields and Working Principle

The 914CE1-Q1 has a variety of applications in the industrial automation space. It is dependable due to its robust construction and long service life, making it a great choice for various industrial and commercial applications including doorway control, conveyor monitoring, and machine automation control. In addition, its small size makes it ideal for applications where a small form factor is required. Its multicontact switch can be used to provide more reliable switching. It is particularly suitable for controlling the movement of robots and other automated machinery.

The 914CE1-Q1 functions by sensing the presence of an object in its proximity. When the actuator, which is spring-loaded, detects the object, it activates the contacts which then send a signal. This signal can then be used to control any other components in the system.

The switch is designed to provide a consistent level of performance and control in challenging temperature conditions, with a wide operating temperature range from -40 to +125C. It is also designed to operate without issue in humid environments, guaranteeing a reliable and consistent service life.

The 914CE1-Q1 switch is designed to be simple to install and maintain, offering an easy way to integrate it into existing industrial automation systems.
