WLD2-55LD-M1GJ 1.0M

Snap Action, Limit Switches

The WLD2-55LD-M1GJ 1.0M Snap Action Limit Switch is a type of electro-mechanical switch that has both a discrete "on" and "off" position and is characterised by an internal spring that provides a "snap action", causing the switch to rapidly open and close with an audible "snap".

This device is commonly used in commercial and industrial applications as part of a process control system. For example, it is often used to detect the presence of an object or act as an overrun limiter - rapidly switching when a voltage exceeds a specific threshold. It is also used to control the flow of a current, and as a general purpose switch.

A Snap Action Limit switch works by using a mechanical actuator. The actuator is spring-loaded and mounted to the switch body, with the spring force usually provided by a helical spring or a set of dimpled Belleville washers. The actuator is attached to a switch rocker, which is connected to the switch contacts.

When the actuator is activated, either manually or through an electronic process, it pushes against the spring. The spring then causes the rocker to snap closed, making an electrical connection between the contacts, allowing electrical current to flow. The snap is designed to be strong enough to rapidly close the switch, but weak enough to prevent the contacts from wearing out over time.

These switches come in a variety of shapes and sizes, with different contact arrangements and actuator designs. The contacts may be standard, normally-open, normally-closed, latching or momentary, depending on the application. The actuator may be of a standard design, or a customised design to suit the particular application.

The WLD2-55LD-M1GJ 1.0M is a reliable and industrial-grade Snap Action Limit Switch, offering long-term and reliable performance. It has gold-plated contacts for better electrical conduction and improved reliability and is available in an easy-to-use DIN rail mounting package.

The WLD2-55LD-M1GJ 1.0M is a highly-configurable and versatile switch, offering high electrical switching capacity at up to 1A and 250VAC. It features a quick-connect cable solution for easy installation and a dust-proof cover for long-term reliability. With high temperature, oil and dust resistance and a wide range of temperature operating ranges, this is the perfect choice for any industrial application.

In sum, the WLD2-55LD-M1GJ 1.0M Snap Action Limit Switch is an excellent option for a variety of applications. Its reliable performance and simple design makes it an ideal choice for process control systems, and its wide range of features makes it suitable for a variety of industrial and commercial applications.
