MBD5C2

Snap Action, Limit Switches are devices used to detect the presence or absence of a physical object and to check a defined limit of such objects. These switches are commonly used in mechanical and process control applications such as limit switches in motor starters, relays and switches in motor control equipment. An MBD5C2 is a snap action, limit switch which has become quite popular due to its affordability and robust design.

The working principle of an MBD5C2 Limit Switch is simple. It consists of a pair of leaf spring contacts, a plunger and a moving arm with a cam. When the operator triggered, the arm moves and contacts the plunger, then pushing the leaf springs together and tripping the contacts. This action is known as “snap action”, as the switch is designed to trip instantly when the plunger is activated. Additionally, the MBD5C2 is designed to have a high contact pressure ensuring a reliable contact connection.

Some of the common applications of the MBD5C2 snap action, limit switch include position switches, HVAC equipments, motor starters, water and gas valves, door and window safety switches, industrial printing presses and safety systems. It can also be used in any equipment that needs reliable switches to control and monitor a process or equipment. For example, the MBD5C2 can be used in water treatment plants to detect changes in the flow of water, or at airport baggage check machines to ensure that the bag passes through to the next stage. Additionally, it can be used in door locks in order to sense whether or not the door is open.

In summary, the MBD5C2 snap action, limit switch is an affordable and reliable device that can be used in a variety of applications. It works by using a pair of leaf spring contacts, a plunger and a moving arm with a cam, which triggers the switch when the plunger is activated. The MBD5C2 Limit Switch is an ideal choice for any equipment or process that requires reliable switching and monitoring capabilities.
