SS-1GL13-F-4

Snap action, limit switches, such as the SS-1GL13-F-4, are used extensively in mechanical and motion control applications. They are electrical contactors (switches) used to detect the position and/or direction of motion of an actuator or machine part. They accomplish this task through the use of various types of mechanical and/or electrical sensing elements.

The SS-1GL13-F-4 snap action, limit switch is a single pole double throw type switch. This type of switch is typically used as a limit or stop switch. It can detect the arrival of a mechanism or device at a predetermined position and then perform an action, such as turning on a motor or breaking a circuit. The SS-1GL13-F-4 switch has a total of two contact points, a normally open (NO) contact, and a normally closed (NC) contact.

This switch is typically used in industrial applications where an electro-mechanical switch is required that can detect the arrival of a machine part or actuation of a machine action. Typically, the switch will detect the motion of an actuating mechanism, such as a rack and pinion, linkages, and camshafts, and then perform a desired action such as turning on a motor or breaking a circuit. This switch can also be used as an end of travel or limit switch.

The SS-1GL13-F-4 snap action limit switch is activated by a plunger that is mechanically coupled to the actuating mechanism being monitored, such as a rack and pinion. As the actuating mechanism moves and reaches the set point, the plunger activates the switch by pressing against one of the two contacts. This causes the switch to snap open or close, depending on whether it is normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) model. When the actuating mechanism is released, the plunger returns the switch to its normal state.

The SS-1GL13-F-4 is a common type of switch used in a wide range of applications including, but not limited to, industrial machinery, automated power tools, and electronic devices. The switch is quite adjustable, allowing the user to set the actuation point of the switch. They are typically found in demanding conditions, such as high temperatures, high pressures, and severe vibration, and are often used as a safety control switch for isolating hazardous machinery from an electric circuit.

In summary, the SS-1GL13-F-4 switch is a type of snap action, limit switch that is used for detecting the position and/or direction of motion of an actuating mechanism or machine part. It is typically used in industrial and machine control applications, and it is often used as a safety control switch to isolate hazardous machinery from an electric circuit. The SS-1GL13-F-4 switch is designed to provide reliable and accurate switching performance in demanding environments.
