WGLA1A01BA4N

A snap action, limit switch, commonly referred to as a ‘limit switch’ or ‘snap switch’, is an electromechanical device used to control electrical circuits. The WGLA1A01BA4N limit switch is a versatile, customizable switch offering immense flexibility in function and use.

The WGLA1A01BA4N limit switch combines the strength and dependability of a snap-action switch with the intelligent design of a programmable limit switch. It offers reliable operation in extreme temperatures and adverse environmental conditions, delivering consistent performance for a variety of applications.

The WGLA1A01BA4N limit switch has been designed for use in many applications. Some of these include: automotive, manufacturing, aerospace, test and measurement, and industrial control. It is also suitable for use in areas exposed to hazardous conditions, such as explosive atmospheres, high voltages, and dust-laden environments.

Working Principle

The WGLA1A01BA4N limit switch works on the principle of a ‘snap-action’ switch. This means that the switch is activated when there is a sudden change in pressure or temperature, which causes the switch to move rapidly between two predetermined positions. The switch then sends out a signal (either electrical or optical) which activates the circuit, allowing the intended action to take place.

The switch is composed of two parts: the contact and the mechanism. The contact is the part which senses the change in pressure or temperature, while the mechanism is the portion which houses the actuator, the spring and the contact arm.

When pressure or temperature changes, the contact arm is pushed against the actuator, which in turn causes the spring to coil or uncoil. This action is transmitted to the mechanism, causing it to move rapidly between two predetermined positions. When the mechanism moves, it sends a signal to the circuit, activating it.
