LSK7L-8C

Snap action limit switches are a type of limit switch that rely on snap action when their actuation level is reached. They are mechanical switches that remain in their open or closed position until they are tripped by an external force. The force triggers a snap action switch and causes it to open or close. When the force stops, the switch returns to its original position.

LSK7L-8C Snap Action Limit Switch
The LSK7L-8C snap action limit switch is one of many snap action limit switches manufactured by Omron. It has a rated operating current of 1 A, a rated temperature range of -25ºC to +85ºC, and a set voltage of 30 VDC.

The limit switch is sealed with an IP67 or higher rating for better protection against moisture, dust and other damaging elements. This feature makes the switch ideal for harsh environments or applications where protection from the elements is necessary. The switch is also environmentally friendly, being RoHS-certified and made of non-toxic materials.

Applications and Working Principle
The LSK7L-8C limit switch is mainly used in industrial machinery, manufacturing and electronic control systems. It is used to limit the speed, starting, stopping and directions of movement. As the limit switch is activated, it interrupts the flow of electricity through the system in order to disabled a machine or to stop a motor.

The LSK7L-8C uses the plunger type of snap action limit switch. When an external force is applied to the plunger, it activates the switch, which then opens or closes the circuit. The spring inside the limit switch returns the plunger to its original position after the force is removed. This mechanism ensures that the switch will not close while in operation, but will still be able to sense any external forces and react appropriately.

The limit switch can be used in a variety of applications, including but not limited to, home and industrial automation systems, security systems, robotics, and elevators. It is a reliable, cost-effective and easy-to-install solution for these types of applications.

The LSK7L-8C snap action limit switch is a reliable, cost-effective and easy to install solution for controlling speed and direction in a range of applications. Its reliable operation and environmental friendliness make it ideal for use in harsh industrial environments or applications where precision and unobtrusive operation is required.
