914CE31-12

Snap action, limit switches are widely used in a variety of industrial application fields. The 914CE31-12 model is a type of these switches.

In general, the basic configuration of a 914CE31-12 switch comprises three parts: an actuator, a switch mechanism and a contact block. The actuator is the part that connects to the application and, when operated, will close the switch. The switch mechanism is a metal frame that houses two contact blocks and contains a metal disc and actuator arm. Put simply, the switch mechanism uses a metal disc with an actuator arm attached to it and when the actuator arm is actuated, the metal disc is moved and triggers the switch.

The contact block is a plastic-moulded block which holds the metal contacts inside it. When the switch is closed, these metal contacts provide a path for electricity to flow through and when it is open, they act as insulators, stopping any electrical current from travelling between the two terminals. This ensures the safety of users, especially when the switch is used in applications with dangerous voltages.

The 914CE31-12 switch has a number of beneficial features. Firstly, it is highly durable and stable, as it is constructed from strong materials such as stainless steel and nylon. Secondly, it has a low-power operating voltage of 24V and contact ratings of 0.4 amp at 250VAC. Thirdly, it has a large actuation force of 28N and a travel distance of 3.5mm. Finally, it has a long electrical life of up to 10 million cycles.

The 914CE31-12 switch is often used in applications where it needs to control and switch between two supply sources, such as in a circuit breaker or reversing switch. It is also useful in applications that require the user to manually switch between two devices, such as in a motor starter. Furthermore, due to its durability and low-power voltage, the 914CE31-12 switch can also be used in applications with more demanding requirements, such as in door automation or lifting equipment switchgear.

In conclusion, the 914CE31-12 switch is a highly-reliable, durable, and stable limit switch that can be used in a variety of application fields. It is perfect for use in low-power applications, such as in circuit breakers and motor starters, as well as more demanding applications, such as those found in door automation and lifting equipment switchgear.
