AZ46029

Snap Action, Limit Switches

Snap action, limit switches are devices used for detecting the presence or lack of an object in a given location. They are utilized when it is necessary to know when an object is going in or out of a specific area. The AZ46029 is a type of limit switch that offers maximum reliability in harsh environments, providing robust solutions for a range of different applications.

Application Field

The AZ46029 snap action limit switch can be used for a variety of applications. It is ideal for detecting and signaling the presence of objects such as liquids, heavy industrial equipment, and large-scale machinery, and can also be used for the control of solenoid valves and circuit breakers. Further, the AZ46029 can be deployed in safety-critical applications such as fire and gas detection, machine warning systems, and home automation.

Working Principle

The AZ46029 snap action limit switch utilizes a mechanical or magnetizable mechanical contact system to detect the presence or lack of an object in a given area. The device consists of a miniature electromechanical contact device, a moving element, an actuator arm, and a contact element. When the actuator arm is pressed, the contact element is forced against an external surface and the contact device is activated. The resulting impulse is then transferred by the electrical circuit to a desired location for further processing.

The AZ46029 snap action limit switch is equipped with a variety of features that make it more durable and reliable for harsh industrial settings. For instance, the contact system is designed to protect against mechanical wear and tear. Further, the switch has an adjustable contact gap and adjustable trip settings, allowing the user to adjust its performance or sensitivity to a desired level.

The AZ46029 snap action limit switch is also designed to operate with minimal power consumption. The device utilizes only a small amount of energy when detecting the presence or lack of an object, and is capable of operating up to 5A, allowing the user to switch heavy-duty equipment or machinery without losing power. Additionally, this device offers a wide operating temperature range of up to +70°C, making it suitable for a variety of working conditions.

The AZ46029 snap action limit switch is a reliable solution for a variety of industrial applications. This device is capable of detecting the presence or lack of objects, and provides robust solutions for a range of different applications. Additionally, its adjustable contact gap and adjustable trip settings allow users to adjust the switch’s performance or sensitivity to a desired level, while its low power consumption makes it suitable for use in battery powered systems. This makes the AZ46029 an ideal choice for safety critical and heavy-duty applications.
