LSN6B

Snap Action, Limit Switches

A LSN6B limit switch, also known as a snap action switch, is a type of electromechanical device used to control a circuit, as well as to provide protection against overloads. The switch has two contact points, a normally open (N.O.) and a normally closed (N.C.), and when the switch is actuated, the points make contact to close the circuit, while simultaneously releasing an overload 1.

The LSN6B works by using an arm, usually a rotating bar, to actuate the switch. This arm is connected to a flexure spring, which when pushed against, flexes and causes the arm to move. The arm is designed to have two stable positions, one for the open state and one for the closed state of the switch. When the arm is moved to either of these positions, it latches onto the corresponding contact point and remains in position regardless of the continued application of force.

The advantage of using a limit switch like the LSN6B is that it not only is able to reliably control and provide reliable overload protection, it is also fast acting. The latching action of the arm and the spring ensure that the contacts do not move when vibration or undulations are present in the system.

The LSN6B can be used in a variety of applications ranging from industrial machinery, to medical equipment, to automotive applications. It can be used in manufacturing lines to ensure system safety and can also be used to control motors and actuators. In automotive applications, it can be used as part of a control system for a number of functions, such as controlling acceleration or braking.

One of the benefits of using a limit switch like the LSN6B is that it offers a great deal of flexibility in the way it can be used. The arm and flexure spring are easily adjustable and can be tailored to a specific application. The adjustment allows for fine control of the switch’s response, allowing for applications such as speed or torque control. Furthermore, the adjustable nature of the switch can also be used for applications such as load cell weight measurement or pressure sensing.

In summary, the LSN6B limit switch is a reliable, fast-acting switch that can be used in a variety of applications. It is easily adjustable, meaning it is able to meet the needs of a wide range of applications. It is easy to maintain and can provide reliable overload protection in industrial and automotive applications. With its versatile design, the LSN6B is the perfect choice for a wide range of applications.
