AVT32023

Snap action, limit switches, such as the AVT32023 device, are designed to determine the position of a moving or stationary object. They are typically used in industrial, agricultural, and process engineering applications. Snap action limit switches offer repeatability, accuracy and reliability in applications such as metering, safety systems, and process control.

The AVT32023 is a two-pole snap action limit switch from the Industrial Zone Company. Its function is to detect physical movement when the internal plunger is actuated by a moving object. The plunger is actuated by a cam, roller, or lever, depending on the type of switch installation.

When the switch is actuated and the internal plunger is released, the contact points of the switch move from their normal position, where the actuator arm is extended. Once the arm is released and the contact points are closed, an electrical signal or circuit is generated, triggering a system or process. This signal is typically used to indicate the position of a machine or system part.

The AVT32023 is designed to offer high mechanical accuracy in industrial, agricultural and process engineering applications. The switch can be used to protect systems and processes, such as machines and vehicles, from accidental or unexpected movement. Additionally, the device can be used in product assembly lines to detect the positioning of assembly parts.

The working principle of the AVT32023 is based on the electrical connection between the contact points of the switch. The electrical connection is closed or opened when the actuator arm is extended and released. A voltage is sent to the indicator when the contact points close. The amount of voltage sent varies depending on the application, but the general principle is the same.

Furthermore, the AVT32023 switch is designed to be shock-resistant and offers a degree of vibration resistance. It also has an extended operating temperature range and is dust, oil and moisture resistant.

In conclusion, the AVT32023 is a two-pole, snap-action limit switch ideal for applications in industrial, agricultural and process engineering. It is designed to protect machines, whilst offering accuracy, repeatability and reliability of operations. Its working principle is based on the electrical connection between the contact points which allow for the generation of an electrical signal when the plunger is actuated.
