914CE28-9

Snap action, limit switches are reliable mechanical switching devices used for electrical system control for decades. The 914CE28-9 limit switch is an example of this technology, and opens up a wide range of applications for controlling the triggers for electrical power devices. This article will provide an overview of its working principle and explain the range of applications it provides.

The 914CE28-9 limit switch is a single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) switch that is designed to provide reliable switching between two circuit elements. In order to activate the switch, a movable or adjustable plunger actuated by an actuator must initiate a series of events that opens or closes the switch. A core feature of the design is a snap action mechanism that allows for a rapid and reliable transfer of electrical energy.

When the actuator for the 914CE28-9 is engaged, it sets in motion a series of events that result in the opening or closing of the electrical contacts. Initially, the plunger is free to move and is drawn towards the actuator. As the plunger moves closer to the actuator, it pushes against a spring which is connected to a lever. The lever engages the contacts, causing the switch to either open or close, depending on the position of the actuator.

This snap action also provides a quick transfer of electrical current but also ensures reliable operation. When the actuator is disengaged, an opposite series of events occurs. The lever springs the plunger away from the actuator, which in turn causes the switch to reset itself. The 914CE28-9 provides spur management through a fail-safe return and reset feature, ensuring a clean and reliable electrical signal.

The 914CE28-9 is useful for many types of applications, as it provides both a rapid transfer of electrical current, as well as reliable reset and actioning. It is particularly useful for applications in which switching or resetting must be quick and reliable. Industrial uses include control circuits, motor control systems, or any system that requires triggering from mechanical or electrical inputs.

Thanks to its robust and reliable design, the 914CE28-9 limit switch is invaluable for controlling industrial applications. Its snap action mechanism ensures a rapid and reliable transfer of electrical energy and also provides efficiencies when triggering and resetting applications. Its construction, ease of installation, and range of applications make it ideal for any type of industrial, commercial, or residential application.
