GKLE40LXA4

Snap action, limit switches, such as the GKLE40LXA4 series, have applications in various industrial environments. These switches come with various ratings for motion and electrical, allowing for direct control in control panels, machines, and robotics as well as other applications. They are engineered to withstand a wide range of environmental conditions, ensuring optimal performance and safety in commercial, industrial, and hazardous areas.

The GKLE40LXA4 has a metallic finish and features a dielectric strength in excess of 2KV. It uses an extended lever mounting assembly, which gives it an adjustable position in all directions. The GKLE40LXA4 also features an adjustable action force, variable reset force, and an adjustable reset timing range. Additionally, a manual reset is possible when necessary.

As for its working principle, the GKLE40LXA4 switch is designed to work by a snap-action mechanism. This mechanism has a principal part called a ‘trip mechanism’ along with some other components. The ‘trip mechanism’ is what is responsible for the change in the working position of the switch from one to another. It acts through the application of a force. When this force is applied, the operation of the switch changes from one position to another. This force is usually generated by a lever, which is connected directly to the trip mechanism of the switch. The force generated in the lever helps to disengage or engage the two tangs that are responsible for changing the working position of the switch.

The GKLE40LXA4 also includes a spring whose job is to ensure that when the switch undergoes a power change, it can move back to its original or default position. This spring helps to ensure that the switch takes as little time as possible to reset to its default position, thereby ensuring quick and efficient operation. It also helps to ensure that the switch is returning to the same position when the power change is being applied.

In short, the GKLE40LXA4 is an industrial-grade snap action, limit switch that incorporates a snap-action mechanism for its operation. This switch is designed for temperatures ranging from -25°C to +85°C and can be used in various applications such as control panels, industrial machines, robotics, and hazardous non-ventilated areas. It is engineered to withstand various environmental conditions and comes with various ratings for thermal and electrical performance. It also features an adjustable action force, variable reset force, and an adjustable reset timing range. Additionally, a manual reset is possible when necessary.
