ESE-18R13D Switches

Introduction

An ESE-18R13D is a specific type of snap-action, limit switch primarily used for detection of a wide range of physical environments, from toggling off when the set limit is reached, to the moment of contact of alternate poles, and serves as the critical link for a host of applications.

Application fields

The versatility of the ESE-18R13D and its wide range of features make it a viable choice for a variety of applications, both in the industrial and commercial realms. It is particularly suited to applications requiring high-precision state detection, such as control boxes and consumer electronics products, in which a level of assurance must be provided that the set limits shall be reached. In the industrial arena, it is suitable for detection of items in mechanical processes and sorters and detectors, where the ability to detect contact and log the state of motion can be beneficial in the operation of machinery.

Working Principle

The ESE-18R13D operates by using snap-action electrical contact technology, in which the trigger mechanism pushes open and close between two metal contacts in response to an external stimulus, such as pressure or course of passing objects. Once the set limit is reached, the switch’s contact points touch for the specified time-frame and the link between the trigger and the contacts become affixed. Over time, the contacts gradually wear out and the switch must be replaced.

In operation, the ESE-18R13D engages and disengages with the metal contacts, depending upon the state of the internal switch. By pressing the metal contacts together, the ESE-18R13D ensures that the correct contact is engaged and the metal contacts do not become stuck in one state or another. Consequently, the ESE-18R13D provides an excellent tool for detecting the state of an item, whether it be on or off, in motion or standing still, or another set of application needs.

The ESE-18R13D is designed to provide a secure and reliable connection for applications that use limit switches. It can be employed for detection of items, when the state of the item falls beyond certain limits, and then transmit the information required from the contacts, as to whether the item is in the position it was intended, or otherwise.

Conclusion

The ESE-18R13D is a versatile, snap-action and limit switch, which serves as a dependable tool for detecting physical environments, with the ability to detect contact between two metal elements, or course of passing objects. Its adaptability makes it particularly suitable for operation in an industrial and commercial environment, where reliable and precise state detection is critical. The ESE-18R13D is an invaluable asset for any user, who wishes to ensure safety in their operations, as well as assuring that whatever they are monitoring lies within the set limits.
