WLG12-55LD-N Switches

Snap action switches, commonly known as limit switches, are mechanical on/off switches. They are used to control or interlock the operation of actuators or limiters. The WLG12-55LD-N has a broad range of applications because of its versatility and its ability to be used in many different types of environments. The WLG12-55LD-N is designed to function as a snap action limit switch with a maximum speed of 5400 cycles per minute. The contact rating of the device is 40A/480VAC.

Applications

The primary application of the WLG12-55LD-N is in safety critical applications and industrial motion control systems. Examples include:

• Robotics
• Security Systems
• Monitoring & Automation
• Industrial Process Control
• Packing & Packaging Systems

The device is also often used in hazardous locations and high vibration environments such as:

• Oil & Gas industries
• Chemical Industries
• Food Processing Facilities

The switch can also be used in consumer applications such as:

• Small home appliances

• Power tools

Working Principle

The WLG12-55LD-N features a unique snap action design that allows it to react quickly and reliably when triggered. It is designed to provide a low operational force and a high number of operational cycles. The contact rating of the device is 40A/480VAC, so it can be used for a wide variety of applications. The switch is designed to operate in temperatures ranging from -40 degrees Celsius to 105 degrees Celsius.

When the switch is triggered, it works in two stages. In the first stage, the contacts make contact and the current flows through until the desired limit is reached, at which point the switch is released. In the second stage, the switch snaps back to its closed position without any further contact being made.

The WLG12-55LD-N is designed to provide durability, reliability, and safety in a wide variety of applications. It can withstand extreme temperatures, as well as high vibration, dust, and moisture levels. The switch is RoHS compliant and conforms to international standards.
