D4N-2E72

Snap action, limit switches are ideal for applications requiring a high-precision limit. They are sometimes referred to as over-travel switches or dead stop switches. This type of switch allows for a specific amount of travel when engaged and when the appointed limits have been reached, will open or close the operating circuit. The D4N-2E72 is a type of snap action, limit switch with a vast array of applications.

The D4N-2E72 Switch

The D4N-2E72 was designed by Omron, a leader in automation technology. This switch is used by many industries in a variety of applications, with it being especially popular for machine automation. It offers an array of features to make it a highly versatile switch.

Features of the D4N-2E72

• Molded plastic construction with side wall adjustment
• Standard load current up to 10 amps
• Threaded spindle head for high accuracy and repeatability
• Up to 16mm of travel
• Variable color-coding to easily identify functions

The high current rating, cylinder head, and adjustable side wall are important features, as they allow the switch to be used in a range of environments, from those requiring light duty requirements to those requiring heavy-duty requirements.

D4N-2E72 Applications

The D4N-2E72 is suitable for a variety of industries and applications. The features and advantages make it a great choice for a number of applications. Some examples of these applications include:

• Conveyor control systems
• Engraving machines
• Medical equipment
• Robotics
• Machine tools and automation
• Assembly systems and manufacturing automated processes

Working Principle of the D4N-2E72

The D4N-2E72 switch operates on a basic principle. When an operator has reached the appointed limit, a contact opens or closes the relevant circuit, causing the associated motor or other beneficial device to either stop or start. It is a mechanical device that opens and closes an electrical circuit when the designated limit is reached.

When the cylindrical head of the switch is tightened against the side wall, it applies a force against a snap switch mount, containing a snap switch lever. The lever is released when the appointed target limit is reached, and when the lever is released, the contact will open or close the circuit.

Conclusion

The D4N-2E72 switch is an excellent option for applications requiring a high-accuracy limit switch. Its features and applications make it ideal for many applications, from machine automation to robotics. Its working principle is relatively simple and consistent, making it an excellent choice for the specified application.
