Snap Action, Limit Switches WLMG2-LD-DGJ-N Application Field and Working Principle

Snap action, limit switches WLMG2-LD-DGJ-N are industrial-strength electromechanical switches designed for a variety of applications. These devices typically contain two defining elements: a sensing element and an actuating element. In the case of snap action switches, both of these elements are typically housed inside the same switch and act together to sense changes in the environment and activate or deactivate a circuit.

Like other limit switches, the WLMG2-LD-DGJ-N snap action switches use a lever to move an electrical contact away from a stationary contact. This type of mechanism relies on a spring-loaded plunger to detect motion and snap the contacts open or closed. The snap action switch is then activated when the plunger is released or when the contacts move past a predefined limit. This design makes them ideal for detecting small changes in position, such as the opening and closing of a window or door. Additionally, their open/close capabilities makes them convenient for machine automation and circuit monitoring applications.

When mounted in an appropriate housing and properly wired, snap action switches WLMG2-LD-DGJ-N are designed to be durable and reliable in various environments. They can be specified and built to international ratings and standards, including IP ratings up to IP69K. Depending on the model, these switches can offer outstanding impact force ratings and extended lifecycles to ensure that your applications remain operating for extended periods of time.

Snap action WLMG2-LD-DGJ-N switches are generally composed of a number of parts that work together to detect motion and activate or deactivate the switch. The sensing element is typically a long lever with an armature attached at one end and a roller at the other. This element is typically made of an insulation material and when movement is detected, the lever moves the armature or roller to trigger the switch. The actual switch part is typically a movable contact, which comes in contact with a stationary contact when motion is detected. The contacts can be configured to actuate open or closed when triggered. This basic design can be adjusted to specific applications, and various additional features can be added as needed.

In addition to monitoring for movement, snap action switches WLMG2-LD-DGJ-N can also be used to detect over-travel, which is when the mechanical lever of the switch reaches beyond a predetermined limit. This type of snap action is commonly used in emergency stop systems and conveyor applications. The emergency stop system, for example, will cut off power to the conveyor when triggered, preventing possible equipment damage or injury.

Snap action switches WLMG2-LD-DGJ-N are ideal for use in industrial environments where reliable switches are needed. They offer a durable, dependable and economical way to sense changes in position and activate or deactivate circuits. With their flexible design and customization capabilities, these switches can be tailored to meet the specific needs of any application.
