SS-1GL2-F-4

SS-1GL2-F-4 Application Field and Working Principle

The SS-1GL2-F-4 is a type of snap-action, limit switch manufactured by NORCO and widely used in the industrial automation field. It is typically used to detect and limit the stroke length of a mechanical arm, as well as counting and detecting mechanical displacement, length, speed and position. Its main merits include reliability, long lifespan and simple wiring.

Application Field

The SS-1GL2-F-4 is suitable for detecting, filtering, and locking the movement track and velocity of both the tri-dimensional and dimensionless mechanical operation and equipment. It is often used to detect objects’ size, shape, distance, and location. It is commonly used in the following areas:

• Simple automation systems.
• Mechanical and electrical equipment.
• Industrial automation equipment.
• Office automation equipment.
• Food production equipment.
• Communication servers.

Working Principle

The SS-1GL2-F-4 snap-action, limit switch is a mechanical device that opens and closes electrical contacts when an object moves in or out of a predetermined range. The limit switch has a movable part (the actuator), and a stationary part, which contains the electrical contacts.

When the actuator is moved, it triggers the electrical contacts and either opens or closes the circuit, depending on the specific application. A spring is included in the design in order to pull the actuator back to its original place when the force that moved it is released.

The SS-1GL2-F-4 is available in various contact configurations, including standard make-break (most common), alternating make-break, make-break make, break-break make, and varying number of contacts for each configuration. It also offers different sizes and colors for easy identification.

The SS-1GL2-F-4 is a reliable snap-action, limit switch that offers a high level of accuracy and long working lifespan. As such, it is a popular choice for industries requiring precise and reliable control.
