D3V-6G-1A4-K

Snap action, limit switches are versatile, cost effective switches employed for a variety of applications in a variety of industries. They provide a means for providing an accurate and repeatable mechanical action, with no electrical or electronic activation. D3V-6G-1A4-K is a type of snap action, limit switch ideal for most common applications.

Application Field

D3V-6G-1A4-K is a versatile, cost effective switch suitable for a variety of applications, such as, controlling the movement of an automated machine, regulating pressure in a hydraulic system, and controlling the temperature of a cooling system. This switch is also suitable for use with safety systems, wherein it is necessary to cut off power at specific points in time, to prevent the machinery from running out of control. It can also be used as a limit switch, allowing the machine to switch between different states when the switch is triggered.

Working Principle

The D3V-6G-1A4-K operates by detecting an object, usually referred to as a “trigger”. The object will either be physically pressed against the switch contacts, or will pass close enough to the switch to be detected. The switch contains two main components: a metal arm, referred to as the actuating arm, and two contacts (or terminal blocks). When the trigger is detected, the actuating arm physically moves the contacts towards each other, thus completing the circuit. The contacts will remain in this state until the trigger is removed, after which the actuating arm will reset the contacts back to their initial position. The actuating arm also contains a spring, which helps it to reset quickly after being disturbed.

The D3V-6G-1A4-K also features a variety of options to suit various applications, such as adjustable release force, adjustable reset force, snap force, reset sensing and end sensing. These features allow the switch to be adjusted to exactly the tension or force required for a given application, ensuring that the switch will operate correctly and safely.

Conclusion

D3V-6G-1A4-K is a cost effective and versatile snap action, limit switch ideal for most common applications. It features adjustable components to suit various applications, allowing it to be customised to suit different tasks. It is robust, reliable and easy to install, making it a great choice for industrial and residential electrical applications.
