AVT34449

Snap Action

Snap action is a term used to describe a mechanism which has the ability to quickly change its position or direction when a certain force is applied. This type of mechanism is commonly used in limit switches, and for application in devices such as machines, robotics and climate control systems.

Limit Switches

A limit switch is a device used to detect the presence of an object or when a predetermined limit has been reached. It works by converting motion into an electrical signal. Common uses include controlling circuit breaker tripping, as well as controlling motors, valves, and other electrical equipment. A limit switch typically features an electromechanical component such as a actuator and a set of contacts that close together when the actuator is snapped into position. It is typically used to control the operation of a piece of equipment, such as lifting a heavy object.

AVT34449 Application Field and Working Principle

The AVT34449 is a snap action, limit switch specifically designed to detect and activate when a force greater than or equal to a predetermined limit has been reached. It is an electromechanical component which is typically mounted in machines, robotics and climate control systems. It works by containing a plunger-type actuator, which contains a ball bearing on the end of the plunger. Once the predetermined pressure limit is reached, the ball bearing closes a set of internal contacts and activates the device.

The AVT34449 is available in a variety of configurations, including paddle and roller types. There are also different operational principles, such as differential, single-ended, and Double-ended. Each of these configurations provides specific features that are applicable to the application in which it is being used.

The AVT34449 is an economical and reliable limit switch that provides reliable contact closure detection and activation. It is a highly versatile component that can be used in a wide range of applications and is capable of functioning reliably in temperatures up to 125°C. It is also resistant to dust and oil contamination, making it ideal for use in industrial settings.
