BZ-2RQ172-D6

Snap action switch, also known as limit switches, generally refers to a robust electro-mechanical actuating device which is designed for reliable and repeatable open-close detent action. A wide variety of limit switches are available in the market, among these the BZ-2RQ172-D6 is one of the most popular model used in many of the industrial applications.

The BZ-2RQ172-D6 limit switch is basically a snap action switch which is composed of a housing, trigger mechanism, actuator and a set of electrical contacts. The actuator is normally based on a plunger or lever that can be activated by a moving machine part, or a static presence detector. When a snap action switch is engaged, the over-centre force of a spring causes the actuator to quickly snap into a terminal position. This causes the contacts to open or close a circuit, thus controlling the operation of the device.

The BZ-2RQ172-D6 limit switch offers many advantages to the users such as it is strong, resistant to vibration and shock, provided with NEMA Type 7/9 ratings and can operate in extreme environments. It also offers a versatile range of actuating devices and positive opening or closing contacts by means of a snap action contact system.

The working principle of the BZ-2RQ172-D6 is based on a mechanical design similar to a conventional snap action switch. The actuator is attached to a push rod which is connected to the switch body, and when the actuating device is engaged, the push rod is moved and a set of contacts closes or opens. The mechanism of the switch is designed to ensure that the contacts switch quickly and precisely at the set points for reliable operation in an industrial setting.

As far as the applications of the BZ-2RQ172-D6 limit switch are concerned, it can be used in a wide range of industrial applications such as conveyors, robots, automated packaging machines, material handling equipment, and other automation processes. Its wide operating temperature range (-40°C to 80°C) and its robust design makes it ideal for usage in different industrial environments.

In conclusion, it can be said that the BZ-2RQ172-D6 snap action switch is perfectly suitable for industrial applications. Its easy installation, reliable working principle and wide operating temperature range make it a perfect choice for most of the applications. Moreover, its NEMA rated enclosure and corrosion resistant construction helps it to last long and work under harsh conditions.
