SS-5GL2

Snap Action, Limit Switches

The SS-5GL2 is a snap action, limit switch designed for industrial and other applications. It is a mechanical device that senses the presence or absence of an object and converts it into an electric signal. It consists of a lever arm actuated by externally applied forces. When the arm is operated, two contacts, either normally open or normally closed, change their state and send an electrical signal. The electrical signal can then be used to control a variety of operations.

The SS-5GL2 snap action, limit switch has a wide operating temperature range of -40°F to 302°F (-40°C to 150°C). It also has excellent insulation strength and high shock and vibration resistance, making it ideal for harsh industrial environments. The lever arm of the switch includes a roller for depressed-center operation and the contacts are equipped with gold-plated terminals for long service life.

The SS-5GL2 switch is a single-pole, single-throw device with a single contact pair. It is available in various models with different termination styles and contact ratings up to 10 A@ 250 VAC. The operating temperature range can be extended to as low as -58°F (-50°C) for extreme temperature applications. Each switch also has a rated life of up to 100,000 operations.

The working principle of a snap action, limit switch is quite simple. A lever arm is operated by an externally applied force or an object entering or leaving a detection area. When the specific distance between the object and the switch is reached, the switch actuates and causes the change of state of two contacts, triggering an electrical signal. This signal can then be used to control a variety of operations.

In industrial applications, the snap action, limit switch is used in automation systems and process control systems. It is also used in various safety circuits to detect the presence or absence of an object in order to detect a fault before a critical operation is performed. In the construction and automobile industry, it is used for controlling door locks and for detecting the opening or closing of vehicle doors.

The SS-5GL2 is a reliable and durable device capable of working in extreme temperature conditions. It is an ideal choice for industrial applications, as it offers reliable operation and long service life. The switch is easy to install and use, making it a popular choice among customers who require an efficient solution for their industrial applications.
