LSR1A

Snap Action, Limit Switches

Snap action, limit switches are devices used to determine the position of a mechanical actuator. They use a combination of mechanical force and electrical energy to make a definite contact closure when the actuator has reached a predetermined position. With the support of an automatic device, a snap action, limit switch may also be used to reset the actuator to its initial position after an event has occurred.

The LSR1A snap-action, limit switch is an advanced device used to determine the position of a linear or rotary actuator. It uses an electromagnetic mechanism to detect the position of the actuator and then make a definite contact closure when the actuator has reached the predetermined position. In addition, it uses a catch mechanism to reset the actuator to its initial position after the event has occurred.

The LSR1A snap-action, limit switch consists of three parts – a main body, a switch arm and a contact. The main body houses the electromagnetic mechanism and the contact. The switch arm is connected to the main body and has a mechanical connection to the contact. When the actuator reaches the predetermined position, the switch arm activates the electromagnetic mechanism and the contact closes to make a definite contact closure.

The working principle of the LSR1A snap-action, limit switch is based on the use of a reciprocating motion. When an actuator is moved to its predetermined position, the switch arm exerts force on the contact, which in turn activates the electromagnetic mechanism and triggers the contact to close. The contact then remains closed until the actuator is returned to its initial position, when the catch mechanism resets the contact to its open position.

The LSR1A snap-action, limit switch can be used in a variety of applications such as home appliances, industrial machinery, car engines, and more. It is particularly useful for sensing the position of actuators with linear or circular motion. It is also ideal for controlling the operation of motors and other devices that require the use of a definite contact closure. Additionally, it is robust and durable, making it suitable for use in harsh environments or conditions.

In summary, the LSR1A snap action, limit switch is a versatile and reliable device used to determine the position of an actuator. It consists of a main body, a switch arm, and a contact which are connected to each other via an electromagnetic mechanism. The switch arm exerts force on the contact and triggers the contact to close when the predetermined position is reached. Furthermore, it is capable of being used in a variety of applications, making it a valuable tool for controlling motors, home appliances, and other devices.
