SS-3GPB

Snap action switches, also known as limit switches, are actuated when an object, such as a cam, lever, plunger, or roller, passes through a fixed position, causing the piece connected to the switch to close or open the contacts. SS-3GPB is a kind of snap action limit switch, which is used in many industries, including machine tools and electronic equipment. This article will discuss its application fields and working principle.

As one of the most widely used snap action limit switches, SS-3GPB is mainly used in various kinds of circuits for machine tools, fluid control devices, electric motors, scales and other automated production equipment, and it can also be used for position detection in various locations or directions. It is mainly switched by the directly-mounted objects, including mechanical actuators, such as cams, levers, plunger rods and buttons, etc. It has advantages like low power consumption, quick and flexible action, requiring no energy supply, thus it has been widely used in various industries.

In terms of its working principle, the SS-3GPB snap action limit switch is mainly composed of a switch body and an actuator assembled by two parts. The switch has two metal contact points controlled by actuator. When an object, such as a cam, lever, plunger, or roller, passes through a fixed position, the metal contact points close or open the contacts and actuate the switch. This allows the switch to detect the position of the object, establishing an electrical circuit which would otherwise be impossible. This action can be achieved quickly due to the snap action of the switch.

The SS-3GPB snap action limit switch has a variety of advantages and applications. When used in a circuit, it can be set up to detect position or direction changes, enabling safety and reliability. Moreover, due to its low power consumption and quick action, it is an economical and reliable switch suitable for a wide range of applications. For example, it is used in machine tools to detect position or direction changes and in fluid control devices to control the flow of liquids.

To conclude, SS-3GPB is a type of snap action limit switch, which has many applications in various industries. It is mainly used to detect position or direction changes, allowing for safety and reliability in circuits. It is also characterized by low power consumption and quick action, making it a cost-effective and reliable switch.
