D4CC-3031

Snap Action, Limit Switches

The D4CC-3031 is a type of snap action, limit switch, which is used when a certain physical parameter needs to be monitored, such as position, temperature, pressure and other physical measurements. The purpose of a limit switch is to detect when a certain physical limit has been reached and, in response, the switch prevents further functioning until the limitation is eliminated. This switch is commonly found in many types of machines, engines, and other pieces of equipment.

The Application Fields

D4CC-3031 snap action, limit switch is protected from dust, dirt, oil, and other foreign particles. It is designed to be smaller and more compact than previous limit switches, which allows it to be used in tight spaces or hard-to-reach places where other switch types may not be able to fit. Some of the application fields includes robotics, instrument panels, communication systems, industrial machines, transport mechanisms, and other equipment.

The Working Principle

The working principle behind the D4CC-3031 snap action, limit switch is straightforward. The switch is designed to have a plunger which, when pressed, will actuate the switch and cause it to either turn on or off. When the plunger is released, the switch springs back to its default position. This action allows the switch to provide an off/on control when confronted with a certain physical limit.

The limit switch also has adjustable set points which allow for greater control of the limit switch’s functioning. The adjustable set points allow for the switch to restrict operation before a physical limit is surpassed, giving the user the ability to create a number of distinct limits for a specific situation and more finely control how the switch functions.

Conclusion

The D4CC-3031 snap action, limit switch is a small switch which is used to monitor certain physical parameters. This switch is found in many types of machines and equipment and is designed to detect when a certain limit has been reached. It also has adjustable set points which allow users to more finely control its functioning.
