Snap Action, Limit Switches – WLGCA2-8-TS Application Field and Working Principle

The WLGCA2-8-TS snap action limit switch is one of the most widely used limit switches in the world. It is a highly reliable, versatile and easy to install device. The limit switch is a type of electromechanical device that is used to detect the presence or absence of a mechanical object in a certain area. It is commonly used in industrial applications, such as automated industrial processes and equipment. The WLGCA2-8-TS is suitable for harsh environments, has a long service life, is relatively maintenance free and offers an extremely fast response time.

Application Field

The WLGCA2-8-TS is an ideal solution for monitoring and controlling the position of doors, windows, and other components in a variety of scenarios. Common applications include, but are not limited to:

• Industrial automation systems
• Appliances, such as washers, dryers, and other household appliances
• Commercial HVAC systems
• Valve and pump control
• Solar tracking systems
• Consumer electronics

The WLGCA2-8-TS also has multiple mounting options, including both Roller Lever (R) and Plunger (P) versions. This makes it easy to use in a variety of applications and settings.

Working Principle

The WLGCA2-8-TS is an electromechanical device, which means that its operation is based on electric signals. The basic principle of operation is that when there is an object within the limit switch’s detection area, the device will send a signal to the system or equipment being monitored or controlled. This signal can be used to initiate an action or process, depending on the application. For example, in an automated system, it could be used to trigger a motor to move a door or window, or to open a valve or start a pump.

The WLGCA2-8-TS has a strong stainless steel construction, which ensures durability and reliability. It has an adjustable contact gap of 1.5mm to 3mm, which allows for easy and precise adjustable contact settings. The contact gap is adjustable to ensure accurate repeatability in a wide range of applications. It also has an adjustable operating force setting of 10N to 150N, which ensures accurate operation in a variety of settings.

The WLGCA2-8-TS also has short-circuit protection, which helps to protect the device against external electric shock or overload. It is IP67 rated and is dust-proof, water-proof, and corrosion-resistant, ensuring reliable operation in the toughest environments. Finally, the operating temperature range is -25°C to +80°C, which makes it suitable for use in extreme temperatures.

Conclusion

The WLGCA2-8-TS snap action limit switch is a highly reliable, versatile and easy to install device. It is suitable for harsh environments, has a long service life, is relatively maintenance free and offers an extremely fast response time. It is an ideal solution for monitoring and controlling the position of doors, windows, and other components in a variety of scenarios. Its adjustable contact gap and operating force setting ensure accurate repeatability and reliable operation in a wide range of applications.
