V-21-1C6

V-21-1C6 Application Field and Working Principle

The V-21-1C6 is a Snap Action, Limit Switch. It functions as a guardian for automated, precision machinery. Dependent on their assembly, the V-21-1C6 can be used in a variety of applications. To cite a few examples, some of the most common applications are automation, brake monitoring, thermal cut-off switches, limiters, circuit breakers, control systems, and pick-and-place systems. It functions as a vital mechanism within robotics and machine work, as well as components in medical equipment. The V-21-1C6 serves to protect machinery from dangerous conditions.

Overview of Working Principle

The V-21-1C6 works on a momentary, direct-acting principle of operation. If the external condition results in a malfunction or overload of the machinery, the switch snaps into action. It cuts off the circuit, disconnecting the current and protecting the machinery from further damage. Once the external condition has been resolved, the switch reset itself and energy is reestablished.

Installation and Mounting

The V-21-1C6 can be mounted in any vertical, horizontal, or sloping direction. Because of its modular construction, the device is available with a wide variety of contact configurations. It includes screw, panel, and solder terminals. The switch is lightweight, compact, and can be used in confined spaces. The V-21-1C6 has a Current rating of 16 A at 250 V AC (Power ON) and 6 A at 250 V DC (Power OFF); a Dielectric Strength of 1500 V AC; a Mechanical Life of 10,000,000 operations; and an Electrical Life of 10,000,000 operations.

Industry Applications

The V-21-1C6 is frequently applied in industrial manufacturing, automation, breakage monitoring, thermal cut-off switches, limiters, circuit breakers, control systems, and pick-and-place systems. It is also used in medical and robotic equipment. Its use is essential in machines which involve hazardous conditions as it helps to shut off or regulate flow to prevent dangerous situations.

Conclusion

The V-21-1C6 is a Snap Action, Limit Switch engineered to provide precision safety and control in a variety of industrial and medical applications. It can be mounted in any vertical, horizontal, or sloping direction and with its modular construction, works according to a direct-acting principle of operation.
