Snap Action, Limit Switches – WLG2-55LD-M1GJ 0.5M Application Field and Working Principle

Snap action, limit switches are electrical switches that mechanically detect or change the position of a device. They are commonly used in industrial and commercial applications where reliable and accurate switch position detection is required. The WLG2-55LD-M1GJ 0.5M is a specific type of snap action, limit switches manufactured by TE Connectivity. This article studies the application fields and working principles of the WLG2-55LD-M1GJ 0.5M.

Application Fields

The WLG2-55LD-M1GJ 0.5M is an effective and reliable solution for various industrial and commercial applications. It is intended for use in environments with high levels of dust, dirt, moisture, and vibration. This limit switch is suited for both indoor and outdoor applications, with its stainless steel enclosures allowing for greater protection from harsh environmental elements.

This device is commonly used in industrial settings, where it is used for controlling and monitoring automated machinery or for position sensing. It is also used in commercial applications, such as in elevators and automated doors. The WLG2-55LD-M1GJ 0.5M offers versatile uses as it is compatible with a wide range of actuators, such as roller lever, pin plunger and hinge lever.

Working Principles

The WLG2-55LD-M1GJ 0.5M snap action, limit switches are designed to produce a snap action effect. This is accomplished when the switch’s mechanically operated contacts react suddenly to the actuation force that is applied onto the switch. This force causes the contacts to rapidly open or close and, depending on how the switch is configured, it either turns a circuit on or off.

This snap action is due to the internal components of the switch. The switch is constructed with a plunger that is spring-loaded and mounted on a power pivot. The power pivot is the part that interacts with the actuator and subsequently moves the plunger, causing the contacts to open and close abruptly. The WLG2-55LD-M1GJ 0.5M also uses an adjustable, non-metallic air-gap to set the desired release point.

The WLG2-55LD-M1GJ 0.5M has switching current ratings of up to 5A, 250VAC and it is rated for 10,000,000 cycles. It also has an operating temperature range of -25 to +125 degrees Celsius and is capable of withstanding shock and vibration up to 15g and 10-55Hz. These features make the WLG2-55LD-M1GJ 0.5M a strong and reliable choice for applications where extremely high levels of dependability are required.

To sum up, the WLG2-55LD-M1GJ 0.5M snap action, limit switches are a versatile and reliable device for use in a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. Its snap action effect is generated by an internally spring-loaded plunger which interacts with the actuator and produces a sudden opening and closing of the contacts. This switch is extremely durable, as its stainless steel enclosure allows it to be used in both outdoor and indoor environments, while its operating temperature range and current ratings make it suitable for high load applications. As such, the WLG2-55LD-M1GJ 0.5M is an ideal choice for applications requiring a high level of performance and dependability.
