LSXN4K

LSXN4K belongs to the category of snap action, limit switches. It can be used in a wide range of applications including positioning and automation control.LSXN4K is mainly composed of a pair of contacts, actuator and a chemical cover. The contacts are generally made of brass or silver alloy. The actuator can be a standard armature, roller lever, plunger, limit plunger, etc. The chemical cover is made of a thermoplastic material, usually reinforced with a metal insert, which acts as a shield against dust and other foreign elements.

The working principle of LSXN4K is based on the magnetic attraction between its actuator and contacts when energized. The contacts are permanently closed when the actuator is energized and opened when it is de-energized. When an external force is applied on the actuator, the contacts are disconnected from the magnetic field and break the electrical connection. This forces the contacts to close and the switch is open. The switch also functions in reverse; when the actuator is de-energized, the contacts open and close when the actuator is energized. Thus, LSXN4K is capable of controlling electrical circuits in two different ways.

The actuator of the LSXN4K is highly sensitive to external forces and provides the switching action. The plunger, roller lever or limit plunger depends on the application and mounting conditions, while the armature is mostly used in less rigorous environments. The magnetic field of the actuator is constantly changing and the contacts respond accordingly. Hence, when the actuator is energized, the contacts close and when it is deenergized, it opens. The contacts are opened and closed rapidly, which produces an “on-off” action.

The LSXN4K is mainly used in automation, position sensing, and automation control. It can be used to control an electrical circuit or machine depending on the application. It is also used as a safety switch to prevent overload or over-pressure in devices, as well as for monitoring position in robotics. Furthermore, LSXN4K is ideal for devices that require frequent switching as well as devices that require precise switching timing.

The LSXN4K is a special type of snap action, limit switch that is widely used in applications requiring precise switching in a very short time period. It has a highly sensitive actuation mechanism that enables it to respond quickly when an external force is applied. The switch offers two different switching mechanisms, which means that it can be used in two different configurations depending on the application. Moreover, the switch is highly reliable and is available in a variety of sizes and shapes. It is also a cost-effective solution that can be used in different applications.
