LCGGV6T10SC

Snap action, limit switches are integral components in almost all types of electrical and electro-mechanical systems. The LCGGV6T10SC is one such switch. It belongs to a family of snap action switches recognized for their dependability, long-term durability, and innovative design. Its application field and working principle will be discussed in this article.

Application Field of LCGGV6T10SC

The LCGGV6T10SC snap action, limit switch provides electrical switch conditions through the use of mechanical motion and force. They are typically used to limit the motion of moving mechanisms and activate alarms in cases of contact. As such, they are ideal for application in industrial motors, commercial water heaters, and door open/close sensors. In some instances, the switches may be adapted to suit different needs.

The LCGGV6T10SC is designed for surface mounting and is available in two sizes: standard and extra small. Due to its robust construction and flexible configuration options, it is suitable for use in a variety of environments, including outdoor and hazardous locations. Moreover, its snap-action mechanism is sensitive and accurate, allowing it to detect even minimal changes in mechanical force.

Working Principle of LCGGV6T10SC

The working principle of the LCGGV6T10SC is based on a snap-action system that provides a durable and reliable contact displacement method. The switch has two internal electrical contacts, a movable one, and a fixed one. The movable contact is linked to a pivoting armature that can be set in different positions to activate the switch.

For the LCGGV6T10SC, when the armature reaches a certain angle, it snaps open or closed – thus, creating a definitive form of limit switch action. The angle at which this happens is referred to as the actuation angle and is controlled by the engagement pressure of the two electrical contacts.

When the switch is in an open state, the armature is prevented from moving further by a stop point. As the pressure is increased on the armature, the movable contact moves closer to the fixed contact and the switch becomes closed. The LCGGV6T10SC snap action, limit switch can be adjusted to operate with a range of contact forces and actuation angles, depending on the application.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the LCGGV6T10SC from Snap action, limit switches is a reliable solution to limit the motion of moving mechanisms and activate alarms in cases of contact. The switch is suitable for a variety of environments and its snap-action mechanism is sensitive and accurate. Moreover, it is adjustable to work with different contact forces and actuation angles. The LCGGV6T10SC switch is a great option for industrial motors, commercial water heaters, and door open/close sensors.
