Snap Action

Snap action switches are contact switches whose contacts are forced open or closed by an elastic biasing member once the action of an operator, such as a button, lever, or rocker arm, is finished. Such switches are usually actuated by some mechanical force, about the point of contact closure or opening. They are commonly used in industrial applications, such as motor controls, limit switch boxes, and electrical protection devices.

MS0850500F150C1A Application Field

MS0850500F150C1A is a type of mechanical snap action switch which is used as a limit switch in industrial and automation equipment. It is a 2-pole snap action switch with one normally open and one normally closed contact. It is commonly used in motion control systems, such as pressure machines, printing presses and CNC machines, and automated conveyor systems, such as robotic arms, conveyors and AGV cars.

Working Principle

The working principle of MS0850500F150C1A snap action switch is based on the lever action. It is actuated by the movement of a certain part in an automated system, such as an arm, a conveyor, or a robotic leg. When the actuating part is moved to its designated position, the leverage effect of the lever maintains the on or off position of the contacts. The MS0850500F150C1A snap action switch has a long service life, and it is reliable and durable in harsh environments.

Conclusion

MS0850500F150C1A is a mechanical snap action limit switch that is widely used in industrial and automation control systems for the tracking and control of robots, conveyors and AGV cars. It features reliable operation and long service life. Its working principle is based on the lever action and its contacts are maintained in the on or off position.
