HS6E-M7Y4B03-G Datasheet/PDFSnap Action, Limit Switches
HS6E-M7Y4B03-G is a snap action, limit switch. It is widely used in automation and robotic applications. This type of switch includes two main components: the switch itself and an actuator. The switch is actually the "on-off" mechanism which triggers the circuit when a contact is made. Activation of the switch is accomplished through mechanical means such as a push button, lever, or plunger.
Application Field of HS6E-M7Y4B03-G
The HS6E-M7Y4B03-G is designed for use in higher-precision and higher-reliability applications such as robotics, automotive, and industrial control systems. It is a very reliable and durable switch that provides a long life. This type of switch is most useful where exact positioning is required such as with robotic applications and positioning systems. Additionally, it is commonly used in limit switch systems where a predetermined position must be maintained.
The switch is made from robust glass-filled polyester material that is resistant to high temperatures and environmental stresses. Also, the snap-action feature allows the switch to quickly turn-on and off while providing precise triggering action.
The HS6E-M7Y4B03-G has three main use cases:
- Robotics and Automation – this type of switch is suitable for high-precision and high-reliability robotic applications, where exact positioning is required.
- Position Monitoring – the switch is able to detect and trigger when a predetermined position is achieved.
- Limit Switch Systems – the switch is perfect for limit switch systems which require a precise trigger point.
Working Principle of HS6E-M7Y4B03-G
The basic principle behind the HS6E-M7Y4B03-G switch is to sound an alarm or trigger an action when an object is detected or positioned in a predetermined location. This is the same function as a conventional activation switch.
The switch is composed of a hermetically sealed plunger-type actuator with a plunger and two contacts. The contacts are made of tungsten and feature gold alloy plating and may be either momentary (spring-return) or stay-put (always on) type.
When the plunger is pressed, the contacts open and the circuit is applied. When the plunger is released, the contacts close, and the circuit is applied again. This frequency of contact and current is determined by the user.
The plunger connection is also sealed against dirt, dust and other contaminants. This ensures that the switch is in good working condition.
