D6L90

Pushbutton Switches have become an integral part of modern day automation and control systems. The D6L90 Pushbutton Switch from Turck provides a reliable and efficient way to switch power on and off in electrical control applications. There are a number of typical application fields for D6L90 Pushbutton Switches, some of which are explained below.

Industrial Applications

Pushbutton Switches are used in a variety of industrial applications. For example, they are often used in process control systems, where they are used to switch power on and off, start and stop motors, switch pumps, open and close valves, and energize HVAC systems. They are also used to control hazardous energy sources, such as high-voltage electrical equipment, by providing a safe and reliable method of cutting off the current supply.

Machine & Automation Control Systems

In addition to industrial applications, Pushbutton Switches are also commonly used in machine and automation control systems. They can be used to perform such tasks as controlling the speed of conveyor belts, raising and lowering platforms, and operating door locks. They are also commonly used in robotics, where they are used to switch power off and on, start and stop motors, and control the direction of motion.

Working Principle

The working principle of the D6L90 Pushbutton Switch is quite simple. When the button is pressed, a small electrical signal is sent to the switch, telling it to close the circuit. This allows electricity to flow, thus turning the appliance or machine on or off. The switch is designed so that the contact carrying the current remains closed until the button is pressed again, at which point the circuit opens up and the appliance or machine is switched off.

Safety Features

The D6L90 Pushbutton Switch also features a number of safety features. These include an overload protector, a moisture seal, and a finger guard that prevents accidental contact with the switch. The overload protector prevents short circuits and provides protection against excessive heat. The moisture seal prevents water and other liquids from entering the switch and damaging the internal components. Finally, the finger guard reduces the risk of accidental contact with the switch by creating a physical barrier.

Conclusion

The D6L90 Pushbutton Switch from Turck provides a reliable and efficient way to switch power on and off in electrical control applications. It is suitable for a range of applications, from industrial to machine and automation control systems. It also features a number of safety features, including an overload protector, a moisture seal, and a finger guard, helping to ensure that the switch remains operational and safe for use.
