LSYEC1ADD-C

Snap Action, Limit Switches are used in a wide range of applications. These switches are designed to detect the presence or absence of an object by quickly reacting to a triggering action or external force. One example of such a switch is the LSYEC1ADD-C.

The LSYEC1ADD-C is a snap action switch designed to operate under high voltage conditions. It features an integral coil that is attached to the switch body and a ceramic cylinder to house the electrical contacts. The contacts are made of gold plated copper, and the casing is made of polycarbonate plastic. The switch housing is designed to resist the effects of vibration and shock, ensuring reliable operation in harsh environments.

The LSYEC1ADD-C is widely used in temperature sensing applications such as in HVAC systems. It is used to detect the temperature of a hot water system and activates a warning signal when the water temperature exceeds a predetermined set point. This feature makes the LSYEC1ADD-C ideal for use in areas where people could be exposed to dangerous levels of heat.

In motion control applications, the LSYEC1ADD-C is used to detect the position of moving components. When switched on, the contacts open and close depending on the position of the component, which can be used to control acceleration, velocity, and direction. This function is especially useful in controlling robotic arms and other automated processes.

The working principle of the LSYEC1ADD-C is fairly simple. The internal coil is activated by an electrical current, which creates a magnetic field around the switch body. When an external force is applied, either through mechanical or electric means, the contact points on the switch open and close, generating an electric pulse that can be sent to a controller or monitoring device. This electric pulse is then used to control the device or process.

The LSYEC1ADD-C is an invaluable component in automated and motion control applications. With its high tolerance for shock, vibration, and extreme temperatures, it is an ideal choice for industrial use. By quickly and accurately detecting the position of moving parts, it ensures reliable and safe operation in hazardous environments.
