WGLA1A01BD

WGLA1A01BD is a Snap Action, Limit Switch. Snap action limit switches are electromechanical switches used to sense the presence or absence of an object, or to actuate any system after a certain operational limit has been reached. The most common type of switch is the SPDT, which stands for single pole, double throw. This type of switch has two pairs of contacts and a lever or plunger that actuates them. The contacts may be of a normally open variety which will close when the lever is depressed, or they may be normally closed which will open when the lever is depressed. In either case, the switch will open and close when the lever is operated.

The WGLA1A01BD is a subminiature snap action switch designed for use in extreme environment applications. It is constructed of a rugged stainless steel body with a heavy duty plunger to ensure reliable operation. The switch has a mechanical life of 10 million operations and can withstand up to 200 lb of maintained force. The switch has a maximum voltage rating of 24VDC and offers momentary or maintained operation. Its small size makes it ideal for use in tight spaces, and the waterproof seal ensures protection from water or any other environmental hazards.

The working principle of the WGLA1A01BD is based on the mechanical elasticity of the actuator. When an external force is applied to the actuator, it bends and the contacts close. The actuating force must be greater than the rated value developed by the elasticity of the actuator to keep the switch in the energized state. When the external force is released, the actuator resumes its natural, straight shape, and the contacts open.

The WGLA1A01BD is perfect for use in machine control, security and safety applications, as well as for system monitoring, indicating and automatic control. It is particularly well suited for environments exposed to water, oil, dust, and chemical agents where reliable performance is of utmost importance. This limit switch is also available with optional DIN mount, waterproof boot, and two-pole configuration. It is a great choice for any extreme environment application that needs reliable operation in a compact format.
