SSLE11(Z)

Snap Action, Limit Switches

The SSLE11(Z) application field and working principle is a type of snap action, limit switch, a device which has two separate, adjustable trips to limit and which provides contacts in response to alternative movement of contacts. Its operation is based on the principle of snap action. This snap action, limit switch is widely used in instrumentation, motor control, robotic system, and more.

Working Principle

The SSLE11(Z) works by making use of a push rod made of an alloy of steel and brass to actuate the switch. A mechanism on the side of the switch is used to adjust the tension on the push rod until it starts to move—the tension determines the amount of pressure that will be applied to the push rod for it to move. When it does, the switch is actuated and the circuit is completed.

The SSLE11(Z) switch also incorporates a “snap” type of action. This means that when the push rod moves, it undergoes a rapid recoil that forces it to move quickly, fully actuating the switch. The switch will stay in the actuated position until it is manually reset by turning off the circuit. This helps to ensure precise operation and consistent performance.

Application Field

The SSLE11(Z) snap action, limit switch offers a great deal of flexibility when it comes to its applications. This switch can be used in a wide variety of settings, such as instrumentation, motor control, robotic systems, and more. It is designed for using in hazardous areas and can be used with a variety of materials, such as stainless steel, aluminum, and plastic.

The SSLE11(Z) is used in situations where precise control of movement is desired, such as in the operation of safety devices, limits, and switches. In instrumentation systems, it can be used to control the speed, direction, and acceleration of motors. In robotic systems, it is commonly used as part of the control system for precise arm or leg movement. It can also be used in automatic doors or locks, where it can be used to detect the presence or absence of a person.

Priming Mechanism

The SSLE11(Z) also features a priming mechanism. This is an innovative feature that helps the switch to adjust itself automatically to the applied pressure, ensuring consistent and precise action. During motion, the priming mechanism continuously processes the force applied to the switch. This eliminates the need for manual adjustments, allowing for the switch to be actuated with greater precision.

This feature also increases the lifespan of the switch since it is efficiently able to avoid excess strain on the moving parts. This will also reduce the chances of any damage caused due to overloading or incorrect adjustment, resulting in fewer maintenance and replacement costs.

Conclusion

The SSLE11(Z) snap action, limit switch is an innovative device that offers a great range of flexibility in its applications. Thanks to its efficient priming mechanism, the switch can respond quickly and accurately to various pressure levels, resulting in precise and consistent action. This makes it an ideal choice for applications such as instrumentation, motor control, and robotic systems. It is also designed for hazardous environments, helping to make it a reliable and safe choice for commercial and industrial settings.
