WLCA12-K51-N

Snap Action, Limit Switches

The WLCA12-K51-N is a unique snap action, limit switch that operates in a variety of different applications. A limit switch is an electromechanical switch used to detect the presence or absence of an object. When a limit switch is actuated, it signals that a designated part has reached a specific point in a mechanism or system.

The WLCA12-K51-N snap action switch operates with a simple mechanism. Inside the switch, a plunger is moved along a gap in a curved surface by a mechanical arm, which is activated by a spring. The curved surface is designed to increase the contact force, ensuring the plunger pushes against the arm to close the contacts. As the plunger travels along the gap, the contact force increases. Once the contact force reaches a certain level, the switch is actuated and the contacts close. As the plunger moves away from the contact surface, the spring pushes the contacts open and the switch is reset.

The WLCA12-K51-N is used in many different applications. For example, it is often used to detect the motion of a lever or other mechanical object. The switch is also used in safety systems, where it helps to detect any unsafe conditions. It is also used in operating cycles, signaling the end of a certain step in a process. It can even be configured to act as an emergency stop in certain applications.

The WLCA12-K51-N is designed for industrial environments, and can be used in a wide range of temperatures and pressures. The switch is fully sealed, with both terminals and conductors completely insulated, making it an ideal choice for use in hazardous locations. The switch is also UL and CSA approved, so it meets the safety standards of many countries. In addition, it can also be connected to most modern control systems, allowing it to be integrated into a variety of automated equipment.

The WLCA12-K51-N is a great choice for applications that require a reliable, durable, and cost-effective switch. Its simple design and UL certification make it a versatile choice for many industrial applications. So, if you are looking for a switch that can work in a variety of temperatures and pressures, the WLCA12-K51-N is a great choice.
