D2F-FL3-D

Snap action limit switches are electrical on/off switches that are actuated by physical force. When the force against an actuator vane changes, the switch is triggered to make or break a circuit without either manual or automated intervention. This type of switch provides a means of controlling electrical systems in an automated fashion.A typical application field for a snap action limit switch is motor control, where the switch is used to detect the position or orientation of a motor and translate it into electrical signals. The limit switch can be used to control an automated system by activating a motor to move a workpiece or actuate other components based on its reading.The simplest type of snap action limit switch is a single-pole, single-throw (SPST) switch. This type of switch is usually used to detect a change in force between two points. When the force between the points is sufficient to exceed the trigger value of the switch, it is triggered, breaking or making the circuit to activate the automated system.The D2F-FL3-D type switch is a multi-pole, multi-throw (MPMT) switch, which is commonly used in motor control applications. This type of switch provides more flexibility than an SPST switch as it is able to detect a variety of conditions. For example, it can act as a limit switch to detect whether a motor is in a full-on or off state, or as a sensor to detect changes in the position of a motor shaft.The D2F-FL3-D switch works on the principle of a two-axis force sensor. When the two points at which the switch detects force are pushed or pulled apart, the switch will detect the difference and trigger accordingly. These switches are typically constructed from two magnets, one each on either side of the switch’s actuator. As the magnets approach, their magnetic fields interact and provide a directional force through the actuator. When the force exceeds a predetermined level, the switch is triggered to break or make the circuit. This type of switch is designed for precise and reliable detection of force changes, which makes it ideal for use in automated systems that require precise and consistent triggering.The D2F-FL3-D is classified as a snap action limit switch and is typically used in automation applications such as robotic arms, conveyors, and machine safety systems. This type of switch offers a reliable and consistent way to detect force and trigger a circuit, making it ideal for industrial automation applications where energy efficiency and safety are paramount.
