WLCAL5-2LD

Snap Action, Limit Switches

The WLCAL5-2LD is a snap action, limit switch with a built-in coil. This type of switch is used in many applications, ranging from industrial process control systems to home automation. The switch has three distinct components: a contact block, a coil and an actuator arm. The contact block is made from a strong alloy that is able to resist wear and tear over a long period of time. The coil is made of a durable material, usually an alloy such as stainless steel, which helps to ensure a fast response time.

Working Principle

The WLCAL5-2LD works on the principle of being able to detect the presence of an object. This is achieved by using the coil to detect the presence of the object and then using the actuator arm to open or close the contacts of the contact block. The contact block is made up of two contacts, one of which is normally open and the other one is normally closed. When the object is present, the coil sends a signal to the actuator arm, which then pushes the contacts together, thus completing the circuit. When the object is removed, the coil will stop sending the signal, thus breaking the contact and opening the circuit again.

Application Field

The WLCAL5-2LD is versatile and can be used in a wide range of applications. The most common uses are in machines or equipment where precise positioning or in certain limits need to be detected. This type of switch is commonly found in industrial machinery, such as machine tools, conveyors, and packaging machinery. In addition, it can also be used in home automation systems to control the opening and closing of electric doors, windows, and other devices.

Advantages

One of the main advantages of using a WLCAL5-2LD switch is its small size and lightweight. This makes it ideal for use in applications where space is limited and allows it to be installed in tight spaces. The switch also has a fast response time due to its coil, which is typically able to detect the presence of an object within a few milliseconds. Finally, the switch is resistant to wear and tear, making it suitable for extended use in harsh environments.
