D3V-161-1A5

Snap Action, Limit Switches

The D3V-161-1A5 is a snap action, limit switch actuator. It is a highly versatile, compact, two-stage actuator that can be used for many different applications. It works by utilizing two-stage actuators, which are mechanical devices that act as a spring-loaded lever to provide instantaneous mechanical movement when a certain threshold is exceeded. This allows the actuator to work quickly and accurately when needed.

When used as a snap action limit switch, the D3V-161-1A5 is designed to detect position, motion, and speed of a range of mechanical devices. The actuator can be used to sense when a target is reached, detect collisions, and provide rapid response to changing operating conditions. The snap action mechanism is designed to provide a highly repeatable and reliable switching performance, which is essential to most limit switch applications.

The D3V-161-1A5 can also be used in many non-switch applications. It can be used for various applications such as detecting flow levels, controlling fluid pressure, and regulating motor speed. It can be used in many industrial and automation systems where precision mechanical force is required.

The actuator works by a two step process. In the first step, a small current is applied which applies a mechanical force to the actuator. This causes the contacts to open. This action releases the built-up energy, which is dissipated through a resistive load. In the second step, the electrical current is again applied and the contacts close, providing an output signal which can be detected by a controller.

The D3V-161-1A5 has a few major advantages over traditional limit switches. First, it is much faster than traditional limit switches, as it only requires a small current to operate. Second, it is much more reliable, as the mechanical action provides an instantaneous response to a specified threshold. Third, it can be used in a variety of applications, from sensing position to controlling motor speed.

The D3V-161-1A5 has quickly become one of the most popular limit switches on the market. Its versatility, speed, and durability have made it the go-to choice for many industrial and automation applications. The snap action limit switch actuator provides a highly-efficient, repeatable, and reliable switching performance, and is an excellent choice for many applications.
