Snap Action, Limit Switches: WLSD application field and working principle

In the world of automation, WLSD (Weathering-resistant Limit Switches and Devices) plays a vital role as an input device for of its wide range of applications. It is also an ideal choice for temperature and humidity conditions that fluctuate quickly, as well as those in confined spaces. As a result, WLSD can be found in a variety of places, including heating and air conditioning systems, electrical cabinets, and emergency lights, to name a few.

In the case of WLSD, a limit switch is basically an electrical, mechanical device which detects the presence/ operation of a physical object, usually as an input to a larger system. For example, a limit switch is typically used to manage the start and stop processes of a motor. The same limit switch can be used to detect the movement of a door or a drawer, or the opening and closing of the door. By monitoring this kind of movement, WLSD can be used to control various processes.

WLSD generally consists of a spring-loaded lever that acts as the switch. When the leverage is subjected to movement, it triggers the sense of a small contact that completes the circuit thus activating the device. This type of switch is also known as a snap action switch. Completely sealed and weatherproof, the WLSD is ideal for any environment.

The importance of WLSD is that they provide a high level of precision and accuracy in controlling mechanical processes. Since they are designed to perform in the most demanding environments, they are capable of providing higher performance than any other type of input device. This is in sharp contrast to other switches which depend on manual operation.

Depending on the application, the WLSD switch may either require the use of a microswitch or a proximity switch. A microswitch is a contact switch that uses a spring-loaded lever to trigger the circuit and thus providing a very accurate and reliable response. Meanwhile, a proximity switch uses an internal magnet to detect the movement of a physical object and provide a more precise sense as compared to the microswitch.

The use of these two types of WLSD switches is dependent on the specific requirements of the application. For instance, if the system needs to detect a moving object accurately, the proximity switch is more suitable. On the other hand, if the system needs to detect static objects, the microswitch will be better. The choice should be based on the amount of precision required and the conditions of the environment.

The WLSD is designed to operate in the most demanding environments, and is also one of the most reliable and durable input devices available. With a wide range of applications available, WLSD is an ideal option for all kinds of environments and it is no wonder that it is so widely used in various industries and applications. With its accurate and reliable response, it makes for an excellent choice when it comes to controlling automation processes.
