Snap Action, Limit Switches: GLCC01E7B Application Field and Working Principle

Snap action limit switches, also known as snap acting switches, are mechanical switches which are designed to quickly “snap” from one position to another, providing an on/off switch, or other signal once the switch is moved from one position to another. GLCC01E7B is a kind of snap action limit switch which has a wide variety of application fields and the working principle.

Application Fields

The GLCC01E7B snap action limit switch is used in a variety of applications. The most common application is industrial applications, where it may be used as a part of automated machinery, to detect when a certain process is completed and then to shut that device off or signal when to begin the next process. The small size of the switch, which is one of the main advantages of using snap action switches, makes it suitable for many applications where space is at a premium.

In addition, the GLCC01E7B switch is also suitable for use in other scenarios such as water, gas and electricity apparatus, as well as industrial control cabinets, for applications such as pressure sensors, machine protective covers, and motor protection. Moreover, the switch can also be used in residential applications such as home security systems and lights, or in commercial fields like vending machines, or even in safety devices relevant to people’s lifes.

Working Principle

The working principle of GLCC01E7B snap action limit switch is very simple. It has a spring enclosed in a housing which is contained between the contacts. When an arc of current is created between the contacts, the spring is compressed, and when the switch is opened, the spring is released, which causes the switch to rapidly move its contacts away from each other, snapping the contacts back to their original open state. This action of the switch causes a loud noise, which is why the switch is known as a snap action switch.

The GLCC01E7B switch also utilizes an extra mechanism called a mechanical latch. This latch ensures that the switch remains in the position in which it was actuated, even after the current has been disconnected. This helps prevent the switch from switching back and forth erratically, which can lead to damage to the contacts or the switch itself.

Conclusion

The GLCC01E7B snap action limit switch is a reliable and affordable way to detect when a certain process is completed and then to shut that device off or signal when to begin the next process. It has a variety of applications in fields ranging from industrial to residential, and it can be used for safety, security and home automation. The working principle of the switch is simple and straightforward, and the mechanical latch ensures that the switch stays in place after it has been actuated.
