Snap Action, Limit Switches: GSAA07C Application Field and Working Principle

Limit switches are common switches used to detect the position or movement of a mechanism part and provide safety control. The GSAA07C is a resulting applicationing type limit switch of the snap-action mechanism with high-precision positioning ability used for light to medium load conditions. This article will discuss the application field and working principles for the GSAA07C.

Application Field

The ‘GSAA07C’ series limit switch has a roller lever type snap-action mechanism designed for applications in which reliable positioning of a mechanism is needed. It works effectively with light to medium load conditions. This type of limit switch has a good dust-proof construction as well as good anti-vibration abilities. Typical application fields for this type of limit switch include: conveyor system, motor stalling protection, packaging machinery, etc.

Working Principle

The ‘GSAA07C’ series limit switch has a roller-lever type snap-action mechanism which allows it to provide quick and reliable position detection. It consists of two main parts; the actuator roller lever and the switch main body with contact points. When the actuator roller lever is rotated by an external force, it compresses the internal spring and eventually operates the contact points of the switch. The spring is set to a certain pressure so that the switch can be opened and closed quickly and reliably from any starting position. When the actuating force is removed, the spring releases and the actuator roller lever returns to the initial position.

Due to its reliable performance, the ‘GSAA07C’ series limit switch can be used for a wide range of applications and is often used for safety control and position detection in industrial and commercial automation systems. It is available in a variety of contact configurations such as single pole/ double throw (SPDT) and double pole/double throw (DPDT) which can be used for applications such as motor stalling protection and conveyor system control.

Conclusion

The ‘GSAA07C’ series limit switch is an effective and reliable switch used for position detection and safety control in various industrial and commercial automation systems. It has a roller lever type snap-action mechanism which provides quick and reliable performance in light to medium load conditions. It is available in various contact configurations and is ideal for applications such as motor stalling protection and conveyor system control.
