V15S05-EZ025-K01

Snap Action, Limit Switches

The V15S05-EZ025-K01 is a type of snap-action, limit switch that actuates on physical contact with an object. It is an electromechanical switch typically used to detect the presence or absence of an object, for defining an end point, or for detecting a limit. Limit switches are also used to detect the positional change of an object and indicate when certain tasks or processes are complete or finished.

Pinning of the V15S05-EZ025-K01 is arranged 2+2 into two rows, with a double bridge arm. This arrangement allows the use of a standard 30.5 mm rail over one and the same housing. The contact elements themselves are designed to close consecutively and independently, with each bridge operating independently based on its physical movement.

Application Fields

Due to its sturdy construction and physical contact requirements, the V15S05-EZ025-K01 is particularly well suited for use in industrial applications, such as conveyor belts, casing unloaders, drive systems and more. The switch can be used to sense the presence and/or rate of speed of an object within a given range.

In Mechanical Engineering, limit switches are used for controlling the movements of mechanical drives and machines. The switch notifies when an object is detected and the relative movement when that object is detected. Industrial operations often require the use of limit switches to ensure accuracy and safety in controlling the machines and objects they are used on.

Working Principle

The V15S05-EZ025-K01 switch is actuated when an object touches the contact element or lever. This actuation triggers two contact elements which close consecutively in two rows. The contact elements then remain closed until the predetermined reset action is conducted. This action can be achieved manually, electrically or electromechanically. The contact elements can then be reset and the cycle is ready to be repeated.

This switch contains a gateway bridge actuator which allows specific fieldbus signals to be transmitted. This then allows the switch to be used in conjunction with compatible monitoring systems. The system can then be used to monitor the position of moving parts and which then permit the safe and accurate operation of the machines.

Conclusion

The V15S05-EZ025-K01 switch is a snap-action, limit switch that is used to detect the presence and/or positional change of an object. It is a sturdy switch well suited for use in industrial operations, as it offers accuracy and safety in controlling the machines it is used on. The switch has a gateway bridge actuator, allowing fieldbus signals to be transmitted and monitored. In conclusion, the V15S05-EZ025-K01 is a reliable and safe switch for use in industrial settings.
