GLDC04B

Snap Action, Limit Switches

The GLDC04B is a snap action style limit switch that is designed for a wide range of applications. It is an electromechanically operated device which provides a reliable means of detecting the displacement of a mechanical system, sensing an object that has entered a predetermined area, or providing an input signal with maximum accuracy. The GLDC04B has two distinct modes of operation; either normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC), depending on the conditions of electrical connection.

The function of the GLDC04B limit switch is to switch electrical contacts on and off when a moving object has reached a predetermined point or area in relationship to the switch itself. The movement of the object activates the switch by either opening or closing electrical contacts which then create openings or closings in the circuit, allowing or interrupting the flow of electricity. This switch operation is referred to as snap action, since it can be operated in a rapid response time.

The switch is typically mounted directly onto a slider or other mechanical linkage and is intended to sense displacement through the use of an external actuator such as a lever arm. The switch is actuated by the motion of the actuator, and a plunger or small level arm is used to connect the actuator with the switch, allowing it to sense the displacement. The plunger then compresses the actuator, closing the switch when the predetermined point is reached. When the actuator is released, a spring returns it to its original position, opening the switch.

The GLDC04B is designed to be used in many different applications, including the operation of valves, fluid level control, warning signals, and motor overload protection. It can also be used in motorized doorbells, medical equipment, portable equipment, and more. Its small size and its ability to switch electrical contacts quickly make it a great choice for many applications.

In addition to its snap action capabilities, the GLDC04B also features many other useful features. These include adjustable Contact force, allowing the user to adjust the level of contact pressure applied to the switch; adjustable stop, allowing the user to adjust the extent of travel of the actuator; adjustable spring tension, allowing the user to easily adjust the spring tension of the switch; and self-cleaning contacts, which prevent residue buildup on the contacts, keeping them free of unwanted materials.

The GLDC04B is a reliable, fast, and safe way to detect the displacement of a mechanical system. Its small size and ease of use makes it a great choice for those looking for a fast, reliable, and safe switch option. Its adjustable features also provide greater flexibility and versatility.
