V-16G2-1C5-K (R)

Snap Action, Limit Switches: V-16G2-1C5-K (R) Application Field and Working PrincipleSnap Action, Limit Switches are widely used in different types of industrial control electronics, automation and robotic applications. They are compact, mechanical switching devices that are capable of detecting the position of an object or machine part and signaling the control system by opening or closing contacts. The V-16G2-1C5-K (R) is a single pole double throw (SPDT) limit switch that comes pre-wired and ready to use. It has a silver plated contact, which is safe in hazardous atmospheres.The V-16G2-1C5-K (R) is designed to close or open electrical circuits with the help of a lever operated switch. The switch is actuated by the movement of an object, such as a finger, hand, or machine part. When the lever is moved, a set of contacts close the circuit and the switch is ‘on’. When the lever is released, the contacts open the circuit and the switch is ‘off’. If the switch is configured in reverse, the same effect occurs however, the switch is ‘inactive’ when the lever is moved and ‘active’ when the lever is released.The V-16G2-1C5-K (R) is a versatile limit switch, and can be used in a range of applications from basic automation and control to the more complex robotic operations. In automation control, limit switches can be used to actuate motors or solenoids when an object is detected, or to monitor objects for switching or position feedback. In robotic applications, the limit switch can be connected to a robotic arm and used to control its movement or detect obstacles in its path.The V-16G2-1C5-K (R) switch body is constructed with a durable NEMA rated housing, rated up to IP67. It is designed to meet a variety of industrial applications and is suitable for a range of temperatures, with an operating range of -25°C to + 80°C (-13°F to 176°F). The contact rating of the switch is usually 1A@250VAC, with a maximum operating voltage (VAC/VDC) of 150V/90V.The V-16G2-1C5-K (R) switch also comes with a range of features to customize its operation. These include adjustable lever position, adjustable actuation force, adjustable switch delay, and non-locking levers. The adjustable actuation force feature allows users to choose the amount of force needed to actuate the switch, while the adjustable switch delay lets users choose the amount of time the switch will stay in its closed or open position.The V-16G2-1C5-K (R) is a reliable, easy to install and cost-effective limit switch. It is suitable for a wide variety of applications, and offers a range of features for customizing the operation of the switch. It is also robust enough to meet tough industrial requirements, making it ideal for a wide range of automation and control applications.
