Snap Action, Limit Switches

• AM50022A43-A application field and working principle

The AM50022A43-A is a series of snap action, limit switches with a compact, rugged and strong design. These switches are typically used in harsh and demanding environments and can be used in conjunctions with various industrial machines and vehicles.The AM50022A43-A switches feature a unique snap-action mechanism and durable construction that provides reliable performance with a long service life. The unit’s design also includes a special operating temperature range from -10°C to +125°C which offers flexibility for usage in a wide variety of industrial applications.This series is also constructed for easy installation and maintenance, featuring a quick release latch along with numerous mounting configurations. The series is offered in either normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) configurations.The switch’s working principle can be broken down into three stages. The first stage is the start position where the actuator is held against the plunger by a spring-loaded lever arm. When sufficient force is applied, the lever pivots and the plunger snaps into the second stage—a rotation. The rotation then causes the contacts to move into the correct position and latch into place.Finally, the lever arm returns to its original position, locking the actuation mechanism and the contacts in place. Once the desired force has been removed, the switch returns to its original position, allowing for the electrical circuit to reset and protect components from potential damage.To maximize performance, the AM50022A43-A switches are equipped with a built-in external guard shield, preventing any contact with the internal components. Additionally, the series features a dust- and waterproof construction, allowing for operation in a versatile range of industrial settings.In summary, the AM50022A43-A series of snap action, limit switches provides a reliable, robust and high-quality solution for a wide variety of industrial applications. Featuring a unique working principle and a versatile range of operating temperatures, these switches are highly recommended for any industrial need.
