WLCL-G

Snap Action, Limit Switches are widely used in many production fields due to their dependability and interchangeability. One of the most widely used limit switch type is WLCL-G, and its application field and working principle will be discussed in this article.

WLCL-G consists of a basic switch, a lever, and a roller, which is composed of a center contactor and two side contactors. The switch body is molded with a corrosion resistant material, and the circuit connecting terminals are connected with a special positioning sleeve. If the proper material is selected, WLCL-G can operate under the conditions of high temperature, cold, oil and moisture.

A variety of WLCL-G applications can be found in the following industries: machinery, engineering, shipping and transportation, process control, electrical equipment manufacturing, automotive assembly and maintenance. It can be used to control motors, pumps, conveyors, elevators, coders and packaging equipment. The limit switch can also be used as an alarm contact to detect any anomaly of the machine, and as an auxiliary switch in an automatic system.

The working principle of WLCL-G is very simple. When the lever is pushed down, the roller connected to it will be pressed against the central contactor. At this time, the two side contactors will be in contact to form a closed circuit. When the lever is released, the roller contactor will be disengaged from the central contactor, and then the two side contactors will be separated and the circuit will be broken.

In conclusion, WLCL-G is a kind of snap action limit switch with excellent performance and broad application range. It is suitable for controlling motors, pumps, conveyors and other machines. In addition, it can also be used as an alarm contact or an auxiliary switch in an automatic system. Since its working principle is simple and reliable, it is widely used in the current industrial field.
