WLNJ-2-TS

Snap Action, Limit Switches

Snap action switches are broad-function electromechanical devices used in automation and process control operations. These switches play a crucial role in detecting and acting upon changes in a certain set of conditions. They are generally composed of two main parts: a mechanical actuator and a set of electrical contacts.

The WLNJ-2-TS is a type of snap action limit switch. Its operating principle combines a mechanical latching action, usually by levers and cam devices, with a set of electrical contacts connected to a circuit. The operation of this switch is characterized by its ability to reset a mechanically latching actuator that changes the electrical contacts. When the actuator is tripped due to an external force or environment, the switch breaks and changes the contact position, thus changing the overall operation of the circuit.

The WLNJ-2-TS is typically used in applications such as proximity sensors in automated machine tools, machine guards and barriers to ensure personnel protection, circuit breakers and over-current protection devices, solid state relays for improved switching speed, fuse boxes for overload protection, and many more similar applications.

The switch is generally designed from rugged materials so that it can withstand harsh and hazardous environments. The switch is designed in such a way that it can be mounted near a machine’s contact point. The contacts are designed such that it can withstand high frequencies and wide ranges of operating temperatures. The switch is also designed for simple wiring, so that it can be connected to many multiple circuits.

In summary, the WLNJ-2-TS is a type of snap action limit switch used in various automation and process control applications. It is characterized by its ability to latch and reset a mechanical actuator based on changes in external forces and environment, and it is robustly designed to withstand various operating temperatures and frequencies. The switch is easy to wire and is suitable for various applications including machine tools, circuit breakers, fuse boxes, and more.
