VX13 Application Field and Working PrincipleThe VX13 is a snap action, limit switch that is widely used in industrial, automation, and domestic applications. The switch is a low-cost solution for applications that require the reliable switching from one state to the other. It offers distinct advantages in comparison to other mechanical or electric switches. In terms of simple applications, the main body of the switch includes a set of pivoting contacts, with a contact arm and a moving pivot lever attached to it. The lever performs two functions: it attaches to the switch housing, and also transfers the force from the operator’s hand to pivot the contacts. When the switch is activated, a series of contact pieces move, resulting in an electrical action, either opening or closing a circuit, according to the user specific instructions.The VX13 switch contains four key components which are crucial to its operation. These are the contact arm, the contact surfaces, the actuator/lever, and the switch housing. The contact arm is the main part of the switch. It consists of two plates made up of material such as brass, iron, or steel and is pivotal in nature. It also has an actuator/lever attached to it that acts as a lever arm when operated. The contact surfaces are located on both sides of the contact arm. When the switch is operated, the contact arm matches up with these surfaces which are either made of brass or aluminum. The switch housing serves to protect the electrical contacts and holds the other components in place.The working principle of VX13 switch is based on the snap action of the contact arm and lever. The contact is opened or closed when pressure is applied by the lever. When the pressure is applied, the contact arm moves rapidly, generating a small shockwave that snaps the arm into place. This happens with both the opening and closing of the contact.VX13 switches are typically installed on machines, motors and appliances. Those machines which require the switch to operate on a regular cycle and without fail tend to use the switches. Due to their design, they are also used in hazardous area applications where dust and dirt are present. They are well suited to high temperatures and they are capable of withstanding a significant amount of shock and vibration.The switch is simple to maintain and cost effective due to its low parts count. It has a low inductance, thus eliminating any noise problems associated with other mechanical switches. Furthermore, its low-cost construction means that it is more affordable than other types of switches. In conclusion, the VX13 switch is a robust and reliable snap action, limit switch for a variety of applications. With its low cost and simple design, it provides reliable service and is easy to maintain. It is capable of switching from one state to the other with minimal effort, eliminating the need for complex environmental protection.
