ASQ10710

Snap Action, Limit Switches – ASQ10710 application field and working principle

The ASQ10710 series is a versatile snap action, limit switch that is commonly used in many electrical engineering and industrial automation applications, thanks to its robust and reliable performance. The state-of-the-art, ultra-compact design ensures that this switch is capable of fitting into the tightest of places, and with its IP67 rating, it is suitable for even the harshest of environments.

The ASQ10710 limit switch is designed to detect the movement of a targeted object and provide tactile feedback to the user. When pressed, the internal mechanism engages and the action is transferred to the terminals, allowing for a reliable electric connection with an external device. The ASQ10710 switch is typically used to perform functions such as actuate or de-activate a machine, activate or de-activate a circuit, or start or stop a process.

Operation principle

The ASQ10710 switch is equipped with two metallic parts (contact blades) that are held apart by a small biasing spring. When adequate force is applied to the device, the contact blades move relative to each other and make an electric connection. In this manner, the electric current is successfully transferred to the external load.

The ASQ10710 limit switch has a wide range of features such as adjustable response speed, increased robustness and resistance, high current rating, superior noise and media resistance and override protection. Its versatile design makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, from medical equipment and industrial machinery to robotics and automation.
