BAF1-2RN-RH

Snap Action, Limit Switches

The BAF1-2RN-RH is a common type of snap action, limit switch that is applicable in many different scenarios. It is a mechanical device that can be used as a safety device or an indicating, or even a control device. This article will discuss the application fields and working principle of the BAF1-2RN-RH.

Application fields

The BAF1-2RN-RH can be used to monitor, control, and protect a wide range of machinery and equipment, including motors, conveyor belts, hoists, loading systems, pumps, air compressors, pressure vessels and more. It is especially useful for machine tools, printing presses, textile machines, and other equipment requiring precise control.

Working Principle

The BAF1-2RN-RH works by sensing a certain point of travel of a machine and, when it has been reached, the mechanism is engaged and can either turn off the machine, sound a warning, or activate a control system. The limit switch itself consists of four main components, a cam, a lever, a contact, and a spring.

The cam is attached to the machine, and as the cam rotates or moves, a lever is pushed in or out. This then results in the contact opening and closing, creating an electrical circuit. The contact is connected to a spring, which returns the lever and the contact to their original positions when the cam stops moving. When it does, the circuit is broken and the machine is turned off.

Final Thoughts

The BAF1-2RN-RH snap action, limit switch is an incredibly useful device for many applications. Its simple design and reliable function efficiently monitors, controls, and protect a wide range of machinery and equipment, making it an essential component of any industrial project.
