TL4024-11103SKM

Snap Action, Limit Switches are specialty electric switches used in a wide range of applications, including automated machines, industrial automation, and commercial applications. TL4024-11103SKM limit switches are a type of snap action switches with a mechanical visual indicator to identify a device’s status and activation. They use a plunger, lever, or roller actuator to open or close a circuit when engage with an object or detected a presence. In this article, the application fields and working principle of TL4024-11103SKM limit switches are discussed.

Application Fields

Due to their simple design and reliable operation, TL4024-11103SKM snap action limit switches have a wide range of applications in industrial, commercial, and residential settings. In an industrial setting, these switches are used for controlling automatic processes and handling industrial equipment. They can be used to detect the presence of a mechanical element, detect a position of a workpiece, monitor machine operation, and detect operating conditions.Due to the versatile features and compact design, these limit switches can also be used in commercial settings such as elevators and ATMs. They are beneficial for detecting blockages and over-temperatures in elevators and are widely used in ATMs to detect card presence and confirm operated commands. In addition, TL4024-11103SKM limit switches are also widely used in residential applications. For example, they can be used in electronic locks, alarm systems, and furniture. They are also used in home automation to control lighting and air conditioning. It is important to note that these limit switches must be properly grounded to ensure safety.

Working Principle

TL4024-11103SKM limit switches are electromechanical switches that use a plunger, lever, or roller actuator to open or close a circuit when engage with an object or detected a presence. The actuator is physically connected to the circuit breaker, meaning that when the actuator engages, the circuit is opened and closed. The circuit breaker can either be a latching contactor or an instantaneous contactor. When the actuator is engaged, the switch changes from one state to another and triggers the circuit breaker. The type of circuit breaker depends on the device and application. For example, in a commercial setting, a latching contactor would be used to allow the control system to retain a certain level of power when the switch is activated while in an industrial setting, an instantaneous contactor would typically be used so that the power to the equipment is immediately cut off. It is important to note that the TL4024-11103SKM limit switches must be installed correctly and with sufficient grounding to ensure safety. When the switch is properly grounded, the current will only flow through the switch and not through the structure ergo, protecting the device and users.In summary, TL4024-11103SKM limit switches are versatile electromechanical switches that are widely used in industrial, commercial, and residential settings. They use a plunger, lever, or roller actuator to open or close a circuit when engage with an object or detected a presence. It is important to note that these limit switches must be properly grounded to ensure safety.
