WLRGCA2-LES Switches

Snap Action, Limit Switches: WLRGCA2-LES application field and working principle

WLRGCA2-LES is a type of snap action, limit switch specially designed for applications where mechanical precision and easy installation are of key importance. It is a single pole, double throw switch, providing customers with an additional contact throw that offers dedicated switching of different loads in one compact unit.

The WLRGCA2-LES offers a wide application field, including appliances, displays and gaming machines, as well as standard on/off control and shut-down of home automation and industrial control systems. It is also suitable for programming and turning on and off of lighting systems, as well as fan and pump control.

Working Principle of WLRGCA2-LES

The WLRGCA2-LES’s snap action, limit switch utilizes a double break mechanism. It is possible to adjust the operating stroke using a screw. The internal connection between moving contact and the external sprung material is done by a roller arm. This contact is made of durable, long lasting materials and can easily be mounted or dismounted for service.

The switch’s contact action is based on the movement of an actuation lever, which is activated through a roller-lever arrangement. The roller lever imparts movement to the actuation lever, which then actuates the contacts. As the roller lever is moved, the actuation lever is pushed or pulled, causing the contact to change its position and switch the power from one load to the other.

The WLRGCA2-LES offers a large number of contact configurations and load carrying capacities, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. It is also designed to be used in harsh conditions such as high temperatures, dust, oil and vibration, as well as in highly corrosive environments.
