D3V-163-1A4

Snap Action, Limit Switches

Snap action, limit switches are electrical devices typically used for sensing the position of an object in a mechanical system. They are usually classified as either mechanical switches or electronic switches, with the former having a mechanical actuating mechanism and the latter consisting of an electronic signal generator. The D3V-163-1A4 is a limit switch from the Honeywell- Emerson family of switches. It is a snap action, limit switch with a long-stroke actuator and a differential travel (DT) switch.

Application Field

The D3V-163-1A4 can be used in a variety of applications. It is commonly used in industrial equipment and automation systems, household appliances, automotive vehicles and other applications. The switch can be used to detect the presence of objects, measure lengths and capacities, and control on/off functions.

Working Principle

The D3V-163-1A4 works by sensing changes in its environment via an electrical signal. When the switch is exposed to a mechanical change, such as a button being pressed or a lever being moved, the electrical signal is disrupted, thus activating the switch. The switch then sends an electrical current in one direction or the other, depending on the direction of movement, to open or close an electrical circuit and complete a task.

The D3V-163-1A4 has a differential travel switch that responds to changes in its environment. This switch is activated when there is a differential movement of either 0.5mm or 1.0mm. The main feature of this switch is its ability to operate at lower speeds or with a low acceleration and deceleration time. This switch is suitable for use in applications where switching accuracy is essential.

Maintenance

The D3V-163-1A4 is a durable and reliable switch. It is constructed of corrosion-resistant material and is designed to provide a long operating life. Nevertheless, it requires regular maintenance to ensure it is working properly. The switch should be inspected regularly and any debris or dust removed with a clean cloth. Also, it should be cleaned with alcohol or other mild solvents as necessary to ensure proper operation. Additionally, if the switch is exposed to temperatures above 250°F (121°C), it should be kept in a cold environment to prevent it from exceeding its recommended maximum temperature.

Conclusion

The D3V-163-1A4 is a reliable snap action, limit switch suitable for a variety of applications. It is designed to provide precise measurements, long operating life and reliable operation. It requires regular maintenance to ensure proper operation and should only be used in temperatures that do not exceed its maximum temperature rating. With proper care, this switch will be a long-term addition to any system.
