WLGCA2-LD-M1J-N

Snap Action, Limit Switches

The WLGCA2-LD-M1J-N is a snap action, limit switch designed for use in industrial applications requiring reliable, durable mechanical operation. The switch is available in either normally open or normally closed contacts and its heavy duty design ensures a long-lasting, reliable performance. The WLGCA2-LD-M1J-N switch features an all-metal construction with an adjustable head and an insulated housing. It has a current capacity up to 1600mA, a contact rating of 6A/250VAC, an operating temperature range of -25°C to +70°C, and a mechanical life of up to 500,000 operations.

Application Field

The WLGCA2-LD-M1J-N is used mainly in industrial applications, such as in machine tools, packaging machinery, conveyors, printing machinery, other process machinery, and various types of motor applications. It is suitable for detecting the position of work pieces, controlling mechanical movements such as transfer device motion, or as part of safety protection circuits. The switch is also well suited for applications requiring rapid response time or reliable voltage/current operation.

Working Principle

The WLGCA2-LD-M1J-N is a spring loaded device, which means that it requires an external force (often a mechanical one) to operate. When the device is actuated, its mechanical force overcomes its internal spring force, pushing a lever and causing the contacts inside the switch to close or open, depending on its settings. When the external force is disconnected, the switch automatically returns to its resting state due to its internal spring.

This simple design makes it an ideal choice for many industrial applications because it offers reliable operations in conditions where environmental vibrations and aggressive contacts may be present. It is also the preferred option for cost-sensitive applications, as its simple design means it can be produced at a much lower cost than more complex electronic alternatives.

To ensure maximum reliability, the WLGCA2-LD-M1J-N model includes a manual reset mechanism, which allows users to reset the switch without power or voltage. It also features an adjustable head, which can be adjusted to accommodate a wide range of operating conditions.

Conclusion

The WLGCA2-LD-M1J-N snap action limit switches are designed for reliable, long-lasting performance in industrial applications. They offer reliable mechanical operation and a manual reset mechanism, as well as adjustable heads for accommodating different operating conditions. In addition, they offer a cost-effective solution to many industrial applications.
