ESE-18L61C Switches

Snap action switches are devices whose primary function is to make and break one or more electrical circuits. ESE-18L61C are limit switches, types of snap action devices specifically designed to prevent an object or machine from coming into contact with its surroundings. Limit switches operate by either closing or opening a circuit to separate the unit from other components or prevent it from moving too far. They serve as a mechanical stop, either in the presence of a physical barrier like a hard-surface or a digital barrier like an infrared light. Limit switches are usually triggered when either the physical barrier or digital barrier is crossed, blocking further motion or power.

The ESE-18L61C limit switch is a compact, versatile device. It is used in a range of applications, from pedestrian detection for automated door openers to medical equipment trigger points. It works by shutting off power when a certain force is encountered, then re-engaging it once the force is removed or another switch threshold is crossed.

The ESE-18L61C working principle is simple. When the mechanical movement of an object, such as the pull of a door handle, is detectable by the switch, the electrical circuit is completed and current is able to pass through safely. On the other hand, when the object stops moving, the electrical current is blocked and the power is cut off. This allows the switch to safely control the flow of electricity and protect both the user and the machine from potential harm.

The ESE-18L61C can be used in a variety of applications, including manufacturing and industrial equipment, health care products, and consumer electronics. It is designed to be durable and reliable, with a single-piece construction that can withstand up to three million actuations. Its small size and low price make it attractive for OEMs and buyers alike.

Overall, the ESE-18L61C limit switch is an invaluable tool for a variety of applications. With its simple yet robust construction, it provides excellent safety and reliability at an affordable cost. Whether you need to protect your employees and customers or prevent your machines from overreaching their limits, the ESE-18L61C is an ideal solution.
