WLGL-P1 Switches

Snap Action, Limit Switches

The WLGL-P1 is a two-in-one product combining a snap action, mechanical limit switch. It is a high-performance, cost-effective limit switch built with two independent and interconnected operating units. In one unit, the contact element is a mechanical snap-action switch capable of extreme accuracy when making electrical connections. In the other, a high-sensitivity contact element operates as a typical limit switch. The WLGL-P1 can be used to sense the position of a variety of moving parts in all types of machinery, and is increasingly sought out for its high precision and tight tolerance.

Application Field

The WLGL-P1 snaps when its contact elements reach a particular speed in a very short time period. It is used in applications where it is important to sense motion accurately and precisely. These examples include conveyor belts, medical equipment, printing presses, production line belts and installations, machine tools, safety systems, automated doors, and elevator systems.

Working Principle

The WLGL-P1 consists of two separate contact elements; a low-sensitivity contact element, and a high-sensitivity contact element. The low-sensitivity contact element requires a certain amount of force to actuate, while the high-sensitivity element requires only a limited amount of force. The WLGL-P1 will snap when both contact elements actuate together, and will remain in the snapped position until the operating forces on the two contact elements are removed.

The WLGL-P1 is designed to have a consistently accurate snap action, meaning that the snap action will take place no matter how weak or strong the force applied on the contact element is. This guarantees that the action will always be consistent and consistently accurate, every time. This is why the WLGL-P1 is suitable for applications that are subject to variable forces, high temperature, and harsh conditions.

Conclusion

The WLGL-P1 is a two-in-one product combining a snap action, mechanical limit switch. It is capable of extremely accurate snaps, and is suitable for applications that are subject to variable forces, high temperature and harsh conditions. Applications that benefit from the WLGL-P1 include conveyor belts, medical equipment, printing presses, production line belts and installations, machine tools, safety systems, automated doors and elevator systems.
