WLG2-140-N 5M

Snap Action, Limit switches are a type of switch that detects the onset of an accelerating force up to the point of actuation. This type of switch is generally used either as an indicating switch (such as a limit switch indicating the presence of a part) or as a control switch (such as a limit switch that stops a process when it has reached a predetermined point). The WLG 2-140-N 5M is a Limit Switch with a 5mm actuator height, designed for necessary control and safety systems. This article will explain how this type of limit switch works and its application fields.

Working Principle

The WLG 2-140-N 5M is an enclosed two-piece structure consisting of the base and actuator. The design is used for applications that require accurate switch point adjustment. The actuator is turned on when the plunger is pressed. The snap action, limit switch is actuated by leverage and features a high contact reliability. It is suitable for applications where the travel of the actuator is short and accurate. When power is supplied to the switch, the actuator is pushed by the motor, and when it reaches the set actuation point, the contact points are activated and the switch is turned on. The WLG 2-140-N 5M switch is equipped with a spring that provides initial lift, allowing the actuator to move rapidly and with minimal force. When the actuator is released, the spring relaxes and its reset force triggers the reciprocation of the actuator back to its initial position.

Application Field

The WLG 2-140-N 5M is widely used in a variety of industries, particularly in the semiconductor, industrial automation and medical industries. In the semiconductor industry, the WLG 2-140-N 5M is used in machines to detect wafers, conveyors and other machines’ operations. In the industrial automation industry, it is used for monitoring of machine cycles, position sensors and relay safety applications. In the medical instruments and devices field, the WLG 2-140-N 5M is used for limit switches and a variety of control applications.

Conclusion

The WLG 2-140-N 5M is a Snap Action Limit switch specifically designed for applications requiring limited switch point adjustment. It has a 5mm actuator height and its built-in spring provides initial lift, allowing the actuator to move rapidly and with minimal force. The device is widely used in a variety of industries such as the semiconductor, industrial automation and medical industries.
