BE-R0512-A2

Snap Action, Limit Switches

A snap action, limit switch is an electrical switch designed to be activated and deactivated within a defined range of motion; this range can be of an angular, linear, or rotary variety, depending on the design. The BE-R0512-A2 is of the rotary variety, and provides a reliable, repeatable limit switch action.

Application Field

The BE-R0512-A2 snap action, limit switch is ideal for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. It can be used in conjunction with machinery and automated systems to sense the presence or absence of items such as tools, components, and products. It can also be used to monitor various environmental conditions, such as temperature and pressure, for the purpose of intelligent control systems. In addition, it can be used for safe shutdown purposes, as a fail-safe mechanism for critical processes, or for over-temperature and low temperature protection.

Working Principle

The working principle of the BE-R0512-A2 is based on the principal of a mechanical trip arm, which has two contact points. When the trip arm is moved, the contact points come into contact with each other and allow current to flow. When the trip arm is released, the contact points separate, cutting off the current. This is the basis for the switch’s operation, though many other features, such as multiple trip arms, adjustable contacts, and special trip arm designs, can be incorporated into the switch\'s design.

The BE-R0512-A2 is designed to have a very long life, with a nominal life expectancy of 10 million cycles. It also has a wide range of environmental protection, with its enclosed housing providing IP67 protection. The switch is also designed to be reliable and repeatable, with a tight mechanical tolerance ensuring consistent performance. It also features a low “bounce time”, which minimizes the chance of false readings.

Conclusion

The BE-R0512-A2 is a robust, reliable, and versatile snap action, limit switch that can be used in many different industrial and commercial applications. Its wide range of features and protections make it an ideal choice for any application that requires a switch that is durable, reliable, and repeatable.
