GLDB36C

Snap Action, Limit Switches

The GLDB36C is a high-performance LIMIT SWITCH with integrated sliding contacts. This range of switches is designed to perform in a variety of way, from basic Limit Switch applications to providing intermediate level between electro-mechanical components and PLC systems. The GLDB36C can be used in virtually any setting, from industrial machining to domestic appliance control.

General Features

• Highly reliable and accurate switching system
• Smooth sliding contact for long life
• Integrated mechanical stops for consistent motion
• Operating temperature range from -20°C to +80°C
• Provides two contact position options (Normally Open and Normally Closed)
• Robust construction provides ultra-reliable performance

Application Fields

The GLDB36C can fulfill a variety of tasks, from basic limit switch applications to setting up switching systems for industries. This model can be used for data collection in production systems, as well as for setting up automation systems. It is also highly suitable for applications that require a precise movement in a limited space, such as controlling the movement of a robot arm.

In addition, the GLDB36C can also be used in hazardous locations. Due to its robust construction and inherent safety features, this switch is rated for use in locations where explosive mixtures may be present or combustible materials handled. As such, it can be used in a variety of industrial applications in the oil & gas sector or food and beverage production.

Working Principle

The GLDB36C works on the principle of sliding action contacts. When the contacts move along the length of the actuator, they make or break contact with an internal voltage source. This action creates a corresponding change in state. Thus, when the switch is pressed, it creates a “changeover” from the normally open position to the normally closed position.

The GLDB36C has been designed for accurate and repeatable switching action. The switch uses robust mechanical stops to provide contact forces that, combined with the sliding contacts, ensure a precise and uniform movement, regardless of the conditions. This enables the switch to remain reliable and consistent in all its operations.

The mechanical construction of the GLDB36C also allows for a high degree of customization. The switch can be mounted in a variety of angles, orientations, and positions. The contacts and actuator can also be specified to fit various needs. Thus, the switch can be tailored to the application, allowing customers to get the exact switch they require.

Conclusion

The GLDB36C is a high-performance LIMIT SWITCH that can be used in a variety of settings where accurate and repeatable switching action is required. It has a robust construction and several customizable features, making it suitable for a variety of industrial and domestic applications. It is also highly suitable for applications that require a precise movement in a limited space, such as robot arms. In addition, the switch is rated for use in hazardous locations, where explosive and combustible materials may be present.
