LSV2B

snap action, limit switches - LSV2B application field and working principle

Since their introduction in the early twentieth century, Snap Action, Limit Switches, often referred to as LSV2B, have been used in industrial automation applications. In its simplest form, a limit switch is a electromechanical device designed to control the mechanical operation of a system by sensing the presence of limit conditions.

The LSV2B is capable of sensing a number of different limit conditions. The type of limit condition that is sensed is determined by the type of switch arm and plunger used. Commonly used types of limit switches used with the LSV2B include a lever arm, a fixed arm, and adjustable arms.

Typically, the LSV2B is configured to sense either a direct or indirect limit condition. When a direct limit condition is sensed, the LSV2B will control the operation of the associated system directly. For example, when the limit switch senses that a certain speed has been exceeded, it will stop the operation of the system.

When an indirect limit condition is sensed, the LSV2B will serve as a warning system. For example, if the limit switch senses that a certain temperature has been exceeded, it will trigger a warning alarm. This type of configuration allows for maximum flexibility when configuring the LSV2B for a variety of applications.

The LSV2B is also capable of being configured to sense a variety of different inputs. Commonly used inputs include contact pressure, travel distance, position, velocity, force, temperature and current. This allows the LSV2B to be used in a variety of application fields, such as mechanical engineering, hydraulics, robotics, automotive engineering and many more.

In addition to sensing input conditions, the LSV2B is capable of controlling a number of outputs. Commonly used outputs include contactor circuits, reset signals, open collector circuits, or specific commands. The type of output that is used is determined by the type of application for which the LSV2B is being used.

The working principle of the LSV2B is relatively simple. When a limit condition is sensed, the LSV2B will trigger an output that is used to control the operation of the associated system. This output is typically an electrical signal that is sent to a motor, valve, or other type of output device. The output signal will then cause the associated device to operate.

In summary, the LSV2B is a versatile and reliable limit switch that is capable of sensing a variety of different limit conditions. The LSV2B is commonly used in a variety of industrial automation applications and is capable of sensing a variety of different inputs. By controlling the output, the LSV2B is able to control the operation of the associated system.
