DSLE10(D)E

DSLE10(D)E Application Field and Working Principle

The DSLE10(D)E is a series of snap action, limit switches with a range of functionality and various operation modes. They are commonly used as position sensors in industrial applications, particularly in hazardous environments.

The DSLE10(D)E has a basic design which consists of a plastic body, two internal slide arms and two metal contacts. The two contacts are held apart by the slide arms, which are biased against each other. When a trigger object comes into contact with either of the two contacts, the slide arms move slightly, compressing the contacts and allowing a current to flow between them. This triggers an electrical event, powering equipment connected to the contacts.

In addition to this basic design, the DSLE10(D)E series of switches can be customised and tailored to a particular application. The design allows the slide arms to be adjusted in tension, allowing a wide range of triggering mechanisms to be used, such as mechanical levers and electronic signals. The contacts can also be adjusted to have a different opening threshold, allowing the trigger object to be customised.

The DSLE10(D)E series is designed to be extremely durable and reliable, making them suitable for use in hazardous environments. The plastic body of the switches is designed to protect the internal components from corrosion, dust and moisture. The metal contacts also feature waterproof covers to protect them from water ingress. The trigger objects can be designed to be resistant to mechanical shocks and vibrations.

The DSLE10(D)E series offers a wide range of applications in hazardous environments, from position sensing in industrial applications, to switch actuators in medical and pharmaceutical machines, as well as security and safety equipment. The ability to design the trigger object and control the current flow also make these switches suitable for use in sensitive electronic applications, such as computer systems and large-scale control networks.

In summary, the DSLE10(D)E series of snap action, limit switches offers a durable and reliable design that is suitable for a range of hazardous environment applications. The design and customisation of the slide arms and contacts, along with the adjustable opening threshold, allows these switches to be tailored to specific applications, making them invaluable in safety and security systems, industrial applications and computer control networks.
