TFCCF5ST2540Y

Snap Action, Limit Switches

TFCCF5ST2540Y is a form of snap action, limit switch. It is mainly used to open or close an electric circuit. In addition, it serves as a safety device by breaking a contact when certain limits are exceeded. This product is made up of a contact sensor housed in a sealed protective housing that helps reduce the contamination from dust and other particles.

The main components that make up TFCCF5ST2540Y are a spring, strain relief tube, plunger, base, and actuator. The strain relief tube is a steel tube that helps to reduce strain on the connection point for the wire leads and also helps to reduce strain on the device itself. The plunger is a cylinder with a small contact point that is pushed by the actuator when a voltage is applied to the circuit. The base acts as the mounting point for the device and houses the contact point of the plunger. The actuator is an electromagnet that when activated creates the force necessary to push down the plunger and close the contact.

TFCCF5ST2540Y has a wide range of application possibilities. It is typically used as a limit switch in industrial automation applications such as machine tools, conveyors, and automated short-run fabrication processes. In these applications, it is used to sense the presence of an object, determine its position, and trigger an action. It can also be used in safety applications such as emergency stops and overload devices. In addition, it can be used in a variety of automated process control loops.

The working principle of TFCCF5ST2540Y is quite straightforward and easy to understand. When an AC power source is connected to the circuit and an appropriate voltage is applied, the electro-magnet in the base of the device is activated. The plunger is pushed down, which in turn closes the contact point of the device and completes the circuit. The contact point then remains closed, until the voltage is dropped, the plunger is released, and the circuit is opened. The force of the plunger ensures that the contact point is quickly and reliable closed.

In conclusion, TFCCF5ST2540Y is a snap action, limit switch that is used in a variety of automated processes. It is easy to install and use, and its simple working principle makes it a reliable switch with a wide range of uses. It is ideal for industrial automation, safety applications and process control.
