GLAC01B

Snap action limit switches are electromechanical devices that provide reliable switching functionality. This type of switch is most often used in industrial and manufacturing applications and often designed to be robust and reliable. The GLAC01B limit switch is no exception and is designed to be used in demanding industrial environments. In this article, we will look at the application field and working principle of the GLAC01B.

The GLAC01B limit switch is a microswitch type device that utilizes a mechanical lever and contact arm to provide reliable switching. It is designed to provide high-reliability switching in medium-duty industrial and manufacturing applications. The GLAC01B switch is RoHS compliant (Restriction on Hazardous Substances) and is thermally rated for 120 °C (248 °F). This ensures the switch complies with the highest standards of safety and reliability.

The switch has a wide range of applications, including industrial and commercial equipment, vehicle and heavy-duty machinery, controlling the energy supply and data transmission in various installations, automated production processes, and so on. The GLAC01B is a flexible and reliable microswitch, suitable for any kind of application.

The switch operates in a snap action manner, meaning that the lever arm requires a certain force to trip the contacts, and then snaps back into the same position with a distinct action. The force required to trip the contacts can be precisely adjusted, and the mechanism is designed to be highly-durable and reliable. The contacts themselves are designed to provide a reliable, “spark-free” switching action that is safe and efficient.

The GLAC01B limit switch utilizes a double-contact design, meaning two electrical contacts are closed when the lever arm is depressed. This unique double-contact design makes this switch particularly suitable for applications that require higher loads. Each contact can handle up to 5 A at 500V, making the device suitable for even high-power switching applications.

The working principle of the GLAC01B is fairly straightforward; when the lever arm is pressed, the contacts close, allowing an electrical current to flow between the contact points. When the arm is released, the contacts open, and the current is interrupted. The switch will then return to its original position, making it ready for another switch cycle.

Overall, the GLAC01B is a high-performance, reliable, and dependable limit switch. Its wide range of applications, rugged design, and double-contact make it a great choice for industrial and heavy-duty machinery. With its reliable snap action switching action, and precise adjustability, the GLAC01B provides an efficient, safe, and effective switching solution.
