TFEEK6ST1440C

TFEEK6ST1440C is a snap action, limit switch from Thomson Reuters. It is mainly used for over-travel and position control applications. The switch is rated for a maximum current of 1.5A and a maximum voltage of 250V and has a contact gap of 0.32mm.

Applications

TFEEK6ST1440C limit switches are most commonly used in control systems and various automation processes. Owing to its rugged construction and excellent performance, the switch is also suitable for harsh industrial environment. It is widely used for applications such as dispensing, material handling, robotic gripping, warehousing, sorting/stacking, conveyors and packing.

Working Principle

When the actuator is moved with sufficient force, the armature connected to the actuator causes the lever to move, resulting in the contact tips of the switch to close, or open. This closes or opens the electrical connection between the two contact tips, thereby triggering the circuit. The switch is designed to have the right amount of hysteresis so that it requires a certain amount of force to trip the switch in either direction. The hysteresis ensures repeatable performance and prevents false triggering. The switch also has a built-in mechanical stop which ensures that the actuator cannot move beyond a certain point.

Advantages

• Compact design
• Long operating life
• Fast operating speed
• Robust construction for harsh environments
• Excellent performance in low-temperature conditions

Conclusion

TFEEK6ST1440C is a reliable snap action, limit switch that is suitable for a wide range of applications. It has a compact design and a robust construction for use in harsh environments. It is easy to install and requires minimal maintenance. The switch offers a reliable performance in low temperatures and has a long operating life.
