Snap Action, Limit Switches

Snap action switches are mechanical-electrical on-off devices. They are also known as limit switches and are widely used in many industrial automation applications. A 914CE18-Q1 is one specific type of snap action switch. It is a single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) switch with a normally open contact and a normally closed contact.

Applications

The 914CE18-Q1 snap action switch is most often used in industrial applications. It is designed for use with 120V and 240V AC/DC power and is ideal for motor control and other automated processes. It is well-suited for applications requiring regular operation, such as opening and closing machines, controlling the power supply for machines, and monitoring temperature.

Working Principle

The 914CE18-Q1 snap action switch works by sensing when a particular object (such as a roller) reaches a predetermined point. When the object reaches the detecting point, the switch immediately reacts, either opening or closing a circuit. This is done through a small lever connected to a plunger, which strikes the switch arm. When the strike arm contacts the contact it closes the switch and activates the circuit, allowing current flow through the contact and completing the circuit.The plunger is connected to a spring which, when pulled and held in place, allows the circuit to be opened or closed when the plunger is released. This spring returns the plunger, and thus the contact, to its original state when the sensing object is removed. This allows the switch to reset and be ready for the next cycle.

Safety Features

The 914CE18-Q1 snap action switch is designed with safety in mind. It features a mechanical stop that prevents reverse movement, which prevents accidental reversals of the circuit and allows for the safe operation of the motor. The stop is designed to resist penetration in order to maintain the integrity of the circuit and protection from potential hazards.In addition, the switch is designed with a double insulation construction and an IP67 rating. This ensures the unit is impervious to water, dust, and debris, reducing the likelihood of malfunctions due to environmental factors. The double insulation also offers additional protection from electric shock.

Conclusion

The 914CE18-Q1 snap action switch is a versatile and reliable switch that is commonly used in industrial applications. It has been designed with safety in mind and offers double insulation, a mechanical stop to resist reverse movement, and an IP67 rating to protect against dust and moisture. By utilizing this reliable switch, circuit operation and motor control can be made simpler and safer.
