GLLA06D

Snap Action, Limit Switches

Snap action limit switches are a family of electromechanical switches. GLLA06D is one of the commonly used models among them. This switch is manufactured by WEG, is highly reliable for long-term operations and carries a variety of applications.

In general, these switches are actuated by a manual force and used as a form of a switch that detects the physical changes. It responds quickly within the specified conditions and can be used to accurately measure and control different physical parameters. The switch is also highly durable and can withstand a wide range of temperatures and pressure levels. The switch also has a wide range of applications in machineries, electronic equipment, and other industries.

Application field of GLLA06D

The GLLA06D switch is a type of snap action limit switch that is used in many varieties of applications. It is most commonly used to measure the distance between point objects, as well as to detect the edge of pieces of metal or other materials.

It can also be used in a variety of other applications, such as monitoring and controlling the force applied to a certain point, detecting an abrupt change in the measured pressure, or for the detection of electrical surges. It is also ideal for proximity sensing and monitoring various motion sequences.

Moreover, GLLA06D is widely used as a limit switch in automated processes, such as conveyor and automation belt controls, machine monitoring, industrial control systems and other industrial equipment.

Working principle of GLLA06D

The way snap action limit switches work is by using a plunger (also referred to as an actuator). This plunger is connected to internal switch contacts inside the switch, given it the capacity to open and close a circuit and thereby detect the proximity of point objects. As the plunger is mechanically actuated, it will move with an applied force like any other mechanical component. This will cause the contacts to separate and release the electricity, thus opening the circuit.

The switch will also have a reset mechanism which is triggered when the plunger is actuated in the opposite direction. In the case of GLLA06D, the switch has a beryllium copper torsion bar which would actuate the plunger, enabling it to reset whenever the force applied is removed from the mechanical component.

The GLLA06D is a highly reliable and durable switch that can also be used in hazardous conditions. It can withstand a wide range of temperature and pressure levels and has a variety of applications. It is also lightweight and cost effective, making it an ideal choice for many industrial and commercial applications.
