GLCA01A1B-3

Snap action limit switches are electromechanical switches that are used in a variety of applications to detect when a precisely-defined physical event has occurred. In the case of GLCA01A1B-3 snap action limit switches, they are typically used when accuracy and precision are required in order to accurately detect position, proximities and contact action.

Application Field

The GLCA01A1B-3 snap action limit switch is used in automation control, process control, medical and industrial applications. The applications of these switches are diverse and include detecting the opening or closing of doors, detect the outside air temperature of furnaces, regulate motor speed and operating times within industrial process controls.

Working Principle

GLCA01A1B-3 snap action limit switches are usually actuated by a plunger or lever. Pulling out the plunger or lever mechanically triggers the contacts to either make or break the electrical circuit. The switch is normally open and when a push or pull force is applied, the switch contacts close and stay until the mechanical force is removed. The accuracy of the contact position depends on the switch’s design. These switches are used for a variety of applications where movement needs to be detected with high accuracy.

Conclusion

GLCA01A1B-3 snap action limit switches are electromechanical switches that are used in a variety of automation and industrial applications. These switches are triggered by a lever or plunger, and they are used to detect when a precisely-defined physical event has occurred. They are used extensively in medical, automation, and process control — helping to regulate motor speed and operating times within industrial process control systems.
