Snap Action, Limit Switches
The GLEB24A2B snap action limit switch is a compact switch designed to provide a robust and reliable switching element. It is designed to detect the presence of objects and actuate with reliable repeatability. The switch has two sets of electrical contacts, one set to open and one set to close, to provide a reliable momentary contact when the limit switch is actuated.
The GLEB24A2B snap action limit switch is designed for a wide range of applications in industrial control and semi-automated processes. It is most commonly used for process safety, control and signalling applications in industrial settings, as well as for other applications requiring contact switching at high or low temperature.
Working Principle
The GLEB24A2B snap action limit switch operates on the principle of a mechanically-operated switch that uses a plunger or actuator. When the plunger is actuated by an object or contact, the two electrical contacts are opened and closed in quick succession with reliable repeatability. When the plunger is in its resting position, the electrical contacts are open, until an object or contact actuates the plunger.
The GLEB24A2B snap action limit switch is designed for applications that require reliable, repeatable automatic operation at higher temperatures than other switch designs. The switch is rated for up to 250°C and is suitable for use in applications at temperatures up to 350°C.
Application Field
The GLEB24A2B snap action limit switch is suitable for a wide range of applications in industrial control and semi-automated processes, including:
- Process safety applications, such as overspeed protection switches and safety interlocks.
- Cutting tool and industrial machine control applications.
- Contact pinning applications, such as control panel switches, reset switches and control switches.
- Signalling applications in industrial settings, including start/stop signals, power cycling, relays and time delays.
- Monitoring and control applications in hazardous environments.
Conclusion
The GLEB24A2B snap action limit switch is a robust and reliable switch for industrial applications, offering reliable repeatable switching at high temperatures. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, from process safety to control panel switches and signalling applications. With its reliable operation and high temperature rating, the GLEB24A2B is an excellent choice for demanding industrial and commercial applications.
