V15T16-CP300A02

Snap Action, Limit Switches

The V15T16-CP300A02 is a snap-action, limit switch designed for use in applications in which the switch needs to be able to handle far more frequent bouts of activity than a traditional switch. This type of switch is valuable for a number of reasons, including its ability to provide reliable, accurate, and repeatable results.

Application Field

The primary application fields of V15T16-CP300A02 limit switch are in motion feedback systems and machine tools. In motion feedback systems, the switch is used to detect the passing of a certain point and send a signal to start or stop a motion, like in robot arms. In machine tools, the switch typically works on a press requirement, as a reset button. Other applications include vending and ticketing machines, gaming machines, industrial counting machines, as well as systems that need to detect the opening and closing of doors, windows, and other movable elements.

Working Principle

At the heart of the V15T16-CP300A02 switch design is a spring-driven plunger that transmits force from a rotating cam to the actuator, triggering the switching operation. The switch uses an integrated, double-plunger design to ensure accuracy and repeatability, as well as a robust actuator that is capable of handling up to 16 million presses. The switch also features a self-resetting mechanism, allowing it to reset itself when it is finished activating.

The built-in snap-action design is in response to the instantaneous application of forces to the switch, which can give the switch an advantage in the rapid-response environment of motion-controlled applications. The swift response of the switch enables it to time-save in many applications, while the durability of the actuating bodies helps to ensure a really long product lifespan.

The V15T16-CP300A02 is also available in a variety of different configurations, including ones that can be used in hazardous areas and ones with a wide temperature range. These features combine to make the switch one of the most reliable and versatile switch solutions for a range of different applications.
