AZC11011Y

Snap Action

AZC11011Y snap action limit switches are used for sensing the position of mechanical motion or actuating loads from a wide variety of applications.

A snap action switch is a device that has moving and stationary contact points. When a set point is reached, the switch operates and is then reset to its original position after the set point. Examples of snap action switches include drum switches and over-center switches, among many other types.

In the case of the AZC11011Y, the contacts are designed to make a snapping action when the set point is reached. This allows for rapid and precise sensing and actuation of the load. This snapping action not only allows for a quick response, but also provides a reliable and consistent action that is not easily damaged by environmental conditions.

The AZC11011Y snap action limit switch has a variety of applications. It can be used to detect the position of moving parts in devices such as conveyor belts, packaging machines, revolving doors and other automated devices. It is also commonly used to actuate air cylinders, door strikes and other load applications.

Working Principle

The working principle of the AZC11011Y is based on a series of contact points that are connected to a spring mechanism. When the set point is reached, the contacts snap into place, closing the circuit and activating the desired operation.

The contact points are designed to remain closed until the set point is reached again and the switch is reset. The contact points are then pushed apart, opening the circuit and allowing for a controlled process to continue. This snapping action allows for a fast and reliable response, making it ideal for sensing and acting on a wide range of applications.

The AZC11011Y snap action switch is a reliable and economical option for many applications, such as sensing and actuating loads, as well as for detecting the position of moving parts. Its snapping action allows for a quick and reliable response, making it ideal for a wide range of applications.
