TL8012-S3220TM

• Snap Action, Limit Switches

TL8012-S3220TM is one of the most popular snap action, limit switches on the market. It has a variety of applications across a number of industries, and its working principle is relatively straightforward.

Firstly, the switch is designed to detect changes in the physical properties of a device or system. For example, when a door is opened or an object passes through a given point, it can detect these changes. Depending on the type of switch, the switch may be able to detect pressure differences, temperatures, magnetic fields, movement, and more.

Once the switch has detected a change in its environment, it signals for a response. This response can be a state change, such as turning a light on or off, opening or closing a valve, or activating a relay. Depending on the application, the switch can be set to a variety of responses to trigger different tasks.

The TL8012-S3220TM is a momentary switch, which means it is only activated for a short duration, as opposed to a toggle switch, which stays in its switched state until it is manually changed. As a result, this switch is an ideal choice for controlling motion in machinery, or safety controls. For example, you could use it to detect the presence of a person or object in a room and activate a safety alarm.

The switch is made up of two parts: a plunger and a stationary contact. When the plunger is activated, it pushes the stationary contact, and this triggers the response. The plunger is held in a neutral position and is activated when a force is applied. This force can vary, depending on the type and size of the switch, but usually is between 5 and 15 pounds.

The TL8012-S3220TM also has an adjustable torque spring, which is used to control the force that the plunger requires before activating the switch. This can be adjusted for the required application, such as for controlling a heavier load. The switch also has an adjustable reset delay, which allows you to set a certain amount of time before the switch can be re-activated again.

Overall, the TL8012-S3220TM is an excellent choice for a snap action, limit switch. Its adjustable reset delays and adjustable torque spring make it suitable for a variety of applications, and its momentary activation makes it ideal for safety and emergency controls. Thanks to its high-quality design and reliable performance, this switch can provide the perfect solution for most applications.
