D2S-01L-FD

Snap action, limit switches are devices often used in electro-mechanical systems to provide physical switching. D2S-01L-FD is one of such devices and is often used in industrial applications due to its high current carrying capacity and durability. This device can be used to detect an object that has reached the limit of its travel and can be used to turn on or off a device. In this article, we will discuss the application and working principles of the D2S-01L-FD.

Application

The D2S-01L-FD is used in a variety of industrial applications. It can be used in motion control systems where the limit switch must be triggered when a component has reached the end of its travel. It can also be used to monitor and control the switch points of electric motors. It is also commonly used in mechanical power presses to control the amount of pressure, or in crane hook applications to trip the hook at certain heights. These devices are also used to trip explosion-proof enclosures, making them reliable and safe for such applications.

Working Principle

The D2S-01L-FD is a snap-action limit switch that has a plunger and a contact mechanism. When the plunger is pressed in by an applied force, which can be mechanical or electrical, the contact within the switch changes its state from open to closed or vice versa. The plunger of the switch will snap from one position to another and the contact will either make or break the electrical circuit. This then changes the flow of current or turns on/off the device that is connected to the switch.

The device contains two mounds of metal that have been cut and bent into shapes to form contacts. Each of these contacts houses several pins. When the plunger is pressed, the springs force the pins against each other and creates an electrical arc. This arc then creates enough heat to cause the contacts to switch state.

The D2S-01L-FD limit switch is preferred in many industrial applications due to its high current carrying capacity, robustness and its ability to withstand harsh environments. It is also easy to install and maintain, making it a popular choice in multiple industries.

Conclusion

The D2S-01L-FD is a reliable and durable limit switch that is designed to withstand harsh environments. It is often used in applications such as motion control systems, electric motors, power presses, crane hooks and explosion-proof enclosures. The switch works on a snap-action mechanism where a plunger is used to change the electrical current state. This makes it a preferred choice in a variety of industrial applications.
