V3-22

Snap Action, Limit Switches

A V3-22 is part of a family of snap action, limit switches. These limit switches are used in control systems to measure changes in position and to act as alarms in a process. A V3-22 switch will open or close when a specific amount of force is applied to the switch, allowing it to detect if an object has moved or not. These switches can be used in a wide variety of industries and applications, such as robotics and factory automation.

Application Field and Working Principle

Limit switches are used in a variety of applications, including robotics and automation, because they can detect movement and can react quickly to open and close a circuit when the detected movement is detected. For example, in a robotics application, a limit switch can be used to detect if a robotic arm has reached a certain point and is in need of maintenance or replacement. The limit switch will open a circuit and signal an alarm when the arm has reached its predetermined position, allowing for maintenance to take place quickly and safely.

The V3-22 limit switch is a ruggedized switch designed for industrial applications and is resistant to shock, vibration and is UL recognized. The switch includes a sliding arm assembly and lever mechanism, which allows for the switch to open and close when a higher force is applied. The arm is made from stainless steel and the frame is made from a resistant nitrile butadiene rubber. When the force is applied, the arm slides along a pivot, which causes a mechanical lever to activate the contacts to open and close the switch.

The lag time on the switch is short, and it has a wide operating temperature range, making it suitable for a range of applications. The V3-22 can also sense up to 6 A at 125/250 VAC, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. This limit switch can also be used in hazardous areas, as it is approved for use with NEMA Class I, Division 1. The switch is designed to provide a positive shutoff with a variety of dust and explosion-proof equipment, making it one of the most reliable limit switches in its class.

Overall, the V3-22 is an industrial grade limit switch which can be used for a variety of applications. It is durable, reliable, and can sense up to 6 A at 125/250 VAC. The switch has a quick response time and is approved for hazardous areas. This makes it a great choice for industrial applications and robotics.
