AH186461-A

Snap action, limit switches are electromechanical control devices that feature a heavy duty metal housing and robust moving parts. They are primarily used to limit the travel of a moving object such as a door or a machine part. However, their applications extend beyond these limited uses. For example, the AH186461-A is an electronic limit switch designed specifically for industrial applications.

The AH186461-A offers a wide range of flexibility when it comes to controlling machinery. It has four independent inputs that can be programmed to work with a variety of sensors and switches. This allows the user to create a custom configuration to suit their exact application needs. Additionally, it is equipped with an integrated LCD display that provides feedback regarding the current status of the switch.

The AH186461-A is capable of detecting a range of physical parameters, including temperature, pressure, travel, and torque. It also has the flexibility to be programmed for a variety of switching technologies, such as a snap action or limit switch, to suit the specific application and machine. Additionally, the switch also has a variety of output options, including a serial communication interface (RS232/RS485) for interfacing with computers and other external devices.

The working principle of the AH186461-A is fairly straightforward. The switch is triggered whenever a specified threshold is reached. When the switch is triggered, it sends a signal to the controller, which then activates the appropriate outputs. The switch is equipped with a sensing element such as a thermocouple, strain gauge, Hall effect sensor, or other device that detects a change in the physical parameters. The signal sent to the controller will depend on the type of sensor and the parameters being monitored.

The AH186461-A also features a variety of safety features, such as overload protection and an emergency release function. The overload protection ensures that excessive current or pressure will not damage the switch, thus helping to extend its life. The emergency release function allows for manually releasing the switch even when power is not present, allowing for manual reset in the event of a power failure.

The AH186461-A provides a great deal of flexibility and durability for applications in the industrial setting. Its versatility and safety features make it a great choice for any application where a reliable and robust limit switch is required. It is also easy to install and program, making it a great choice for both novice and experienced users.
