D3V-16G-1C414-K

Introduction to D3V-16G-1C414-K

The D3V-16G-1C414-K is a snap action and limit switches commonly used in applications where controlling and detecting limit position with an extended mechanical life is required. It features an integrated design with a snap action element and an elongated mounting frame, making it suitable for virtually any positioning system. The snap action element is composed of a spring loaded actuator, a contact gap and a contact eyelet, while the frame is designed to be both fixed and adjustable. Together, these two components offer the control and detection of limit position.

Application Field and Working Principle

The D3V-16G-1C414-K has multiple applications in industries such as manufacturing, automation and transportation. Its snap action and limit switch design is commonly used for position-based equipment control and process automation. Its primary function is to provide positional feedback to the host system, allowing for improved positioning accuracy, repeatability and reliability. The working principle is based on the combination of the frame and the snap action element.

The frame is designed to be both fixed and adjustable, allowing for varying levels of sensitivity and triggering level. When in the fixed position, the frame acts as a hard stop, helping to set the exact position. When in the adjustable position, the snap action element can be adjusted to achieve a desired position. The actuation of the snap action element signals to the host system that the position has been reached, allowing the host system to take corresponding action.

The contact gap and contact eyelet work together to provide the necessary feedback. The contact gap is actuated when the target is reached, and the contact eyelet is activated when the target is exceeded. This feedback allows the host system to verify the exact position and make any corresponding adjustments.

Safety Features

Another key feature of the D3V-16G-1C414-K is its built-in safety features. The frame is designed with an overtravel stop, helping to prevent the actuator from being overextended. This helps to protect the contacts from being damaged, ensuring reliable operation. Additionally, the contacts are coated with silicone grease to help protect against corrosion, extending the life of the switch.

Conclusion

The D3V-16G-1C414-K is a reliable and durable snap action and limit switches. Its integrated design and safety features make it suitable for use in position-based equipment control, process automation, and other industries. With the wide variety of applications, this switch is an ideal choice for any industrial application.
