D5A-1100

The D5A-1100 snap action, limit switch is an electronic device designed specifically for industrial, pilot and other applications. The snap action, limit switch functions effectively as an open-close switch and provides a reliable, durable and accurate way of controlling machines and other equipment. When the switch is activated, it will provide an electrical connection which will initiate whatever action it is connected to.

Application Field

The D5A-1100 snap action, limit switch can be used in a wide range of applications. It is most commonly used in industrial and commercial settings, such as in the manufacturing industry or for construction work. The snap action, limit switch has also been used in the aviation industry to provide an economical and reliable switching solution for aircraft instrumentation. It is well-suited for high temperature or hazardous locations, as well as for use in any environment requiring a reliable and precise operation.

Advantages

The D5A-1100 snap action, limit switch provides many advantages that are not found with other switches of its kind. It is designed to be extremely reliable, providing millions of cycles without failure. It is designed to be durable and cost-effective, with a longer service life than many other switches. Furthermore, it is designed with a low power consumption and a low contact resistance for increased efficiency.

Working Principle

The D5A-1100 snap action, limit switch operates using a simple mechanism. The switch contains a sensing element, usually a metal rod, that is connected to the lever that activates the switch. When the lever is pulled or pushed, it causes the sensing element to move, which in turn causes the two contacts of the switch to open or close. Depending on the type of switch, this movement can be either a Direct-Acting switch, or a Fluid-Induced actuation.

Direct Actuation

In a Direct-Actuated switch, the lever is directly connected to the sensing element. The lever is connected to a mechanism that pivots and moves the sensing element, which in turn changes the electrical connection of the two contacts of the switch. This type of switch offers the most precise control of the actuation and also provides a fast response time.

Fluid Induced Actuation

In a Fluid-Induced Actuation switch, a fluid is used to actuate the sensing element. This can be either a liquid, such as oil or water, or a gas, such as air or nitrogen. The fluid is usually contained in a thin envelope that is connected to the lever and the sensing element. When the lever is moved, the fluid pushes against the sensing element, which causes it to move and actuate the contacts of the switch.

Conclusion

The D5A-1100 snap action, limit switch is an ideal choice for a wide range of applications where precise and reliable control is required. It is highly reliable and durable, and is able to provide up to millions of cycles of switching without failure. Furthermore, its low power consumption and low contact resistance make it an efficient and cost-effective solution. The switch is available with either direct actuation or fluid-induced actuation, so it can be tailored to meet the specific requirements of any application.
