WLD2-LD-M1J 0.3M

Limit switches are versatile electromechanical devices used to detect the presence of an object. They are positioned at a predetermined point and signify when the object has reached it. Limit switches come in a variety of styles and sizes and are used in many industrial applications. Among these applications is the WLD2-LD-M1J 0.3M, a snap action limit switch. This article details the application fields, configuration and working principles of this limit switch.The WLD2-LD-M1J 0.3M is a compact, lightweight limit switch designed for a variety of applications. It provides reliable detection of objects, such as those in assembly line production, vending machines, and machine tools. It can be used as a positional limit switch, indicating when a piston of a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder has reached its predetermined point, or as a motion limit switch, signaling when a surface mounted actuator has been triggered.The WLD2-LD-M1J 0.3M is a mechanically-actuated switch, meaning that it is powered by a mechanical force, such as the position or movement of an object. It is composed of several components, including a switch body, actuator, lever arm, and electrical contacts.The switch body is the main part of the device, containing all of the other components and connecting them to one another. It is typically made of plastic and consists of two sections: the rigid section and the pivoting section. The rigid section is connected to the lever arm, while the pivoting section houses the actuator and electrical contacts.The lever arm is the key component of the switch, as it is responsible for the switch\'s snap action. When an object or material passes over or through the switch, the lever arm moves, pushing the actuator down into the switch body. This causes the electrical contacts to move, triggering the switch\'s change in state from open to closed or vice versa.The actuator is the switch\'s “trigger”. It is typically cylindrical and made from plastic or metal. It is connected to the lever arm and pushed by it when the switch is activated. The position of the actuator is what determines whether the switch is open or closed.The electrical contacts are the final component of the WLD2-LD-M1J 0.3M. They are responsible for transferring the switching signal to the electrical circuit associated with it. The contacts are typically made of metal and are connected to the actuator, so when the actuator moves, they move as well. This triggers the switch\'s change in state, allowing the circuit to be opened or closed.To set up the switch, it is necessary to configure both the mechanical components and the electrical components. The lever arm, actuator, and electrical contacts must all be properly adjusted to ensure that the switch will operate properly. It is also important to check the conductivity of the contacts, as poor conductivity can cause false triggering or no triggering at all.The WLD2-LD-M1J 0.3M is a versatile and reliable limit switch, capable of providing reliable object or material detection in a variety of applications. Its simple configuration and mechanical operation make it an ideal choice for assembly line production, vending machines, and machine tools.
