WLG12-0-N Switches

Snap action, limit switches or microswitches are devices used in many industrial applications to detect position and proximity. They are typically used to detect the presence of an object or measure its distance, as well as providing a limit to the operation of a process. WLG12-0-N is a type of snap action, limit switch.

WLG12-0-N are used in various application fields, such as industrial automation, process control, medical and laboratory equipment, remote access control, automotive, and air conditioning systems. They are useful in detecting the position of objects in an assembly line or machine, proximity to another device, or physical presence in a given area. In addition to providing a limit to the operation of a process, WLG12-0-N can be used as inexpensive micro-resolution sensors for a wide range of applications, including safety systems, signal beam detection, liquid level detection, door and window security systems, lane position detection, etc.

In general, WLG12-0-N limit switches consist of a plunger, a mount, and an actuator mounted on the plunger. When the plunger is depressed, the actuator is actuated, allow current to flow through the switch. The actuator is designed to have some degree of springiness, so that it snaps back to its original position when released. This snap action helps to ensure that the actuator will return to its original position quickly and accurately, allowing the switch to detect even small changes in position or proximity.

WLG12-0-N limit switches are designed to be highly reliable, with a variety of contacts, plunger actuators, and switching characteristics. Depending on the model, the switch can be activated by mechanical, electronic, and even magnetic actuation. The switch can also be configured with a single, normally open contact, or a double contact, normally open and normally closed. WLG12-0-N switches also feature an adjustable release force that allows the user to calibrate the sensitivity of the switch for their particular application. Additionally, these limit switches have a wide variety of mountings, as well as a range of environmental protection ratings, making them ideal for use in harsh environments.

In addition to their high reliability, WLG12-0-N limit switches are also designed to be low-cost and easy to install. They feature an extremely small profile, making them suitable for use in tight spaces, and they can be mounted quickly and easily to nearly any surface. They also require few external components, requiring only a single wire connection and minimal setup.

Overall, WLG12-0-N limit switches are extremely versatile and reliable devices that can be used for a variety of applications. They are designed to be low-cost and easy to install, and can be configured for a wide range of purposes. With their adjustable release force, they are ideal for use in challenging environments, and their snap action ensures accurate and reliable operation every time.
