AM50635D33-A

Snap Action, Limit Switches, play an important role in many applications and industries. AM50635D33-A is a perfect example. Not only its functioning is reliable, but also its structure is robust. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of AM50635D33-A.

Application Field

AM50635D33-A is widely used in the following application fields:

• Automatic equipment including brewing machines, machine tools, and other similar devices
• Food processing including coffee machines, beverage equipment, and other food processing machines.
• Air compressor control and operation
• Automation processes of HVAC control systems
• Industrial automation, controlling the automatic door openers, preventing overloads and damage in motors, and monitoring conveyor belt operations

Working Principle

AM50635D33-A snap action switch functions by detecting a physical limit position for the operation of an automated system. When the limit position is reached, the mechanism of the switch is triggered, causing a switching action that operates the equipment being controlled. The switch is activated either manually or automatically and is the control element of automatic mechanisms, indicating the exact position of the limit.

The AM50635D33-A uses a lever-activated system, where the switch is stood in the open position until a lever is triggered, sending a signal, so that the switch operates and closes. This type of switch is referred to as a snap-action switch. The snap-action design allows the switch to travel back and forth quickly and without hesitation. This is because the mechanism releases a spring-loaded contact at the desired limit position causing an immediate switching action.

The switch includes a contact activating lever, the contact assembly, ambient temperature sensor, force spring, and a seal. The contact activating lever is a thin metal piece attached to a spring. The contact assembly consists of two contacts and a contact plunger. The Ambient temperature senson is responsible for detecting changes in the temperature and responding accordingly. The force spring applies pressure to the contact activating lever and the seal keeps mechanical contaminants out of the switch.

The switch includes two main electrical components: the points of contact and the terminal. When the switch is in the “off” position, the contact points are in an open circuit and no electricity passes through them. When the switch is in the “on” position, the contact points are in a closed circuit, allowing electricity to flow through them. The terminal is connected to the contact points and provides an electrical connection to the switch.

Conclusion

AM50635D33-A is a common type of Snap Action, Limit Switches, used in many different application fields. It has a robust construction and a reliable functioning built on a lever-activated system. The switch includes a contact activating lever, the contact assembly, ambient temperature sensor, force spring, and a seal. The AM50635D33-A uses two main electrical components: the contact points and the terminal, allowing electricity to flow when in the “on” position.
