Snap Action, Limit Switches – YZ-2RW84-A2 Application Field and Working Principle

Snap action limit switches are used for a myriad of industrial, commercial and product applications. Depending on the model it is being used, the YZ-2RW84-A2 can be used for a variety of switching and control tasks. Typically, snap action switch are designed for situations when there is stress due to temperature or pressure changes, or in cases when an item needs to be precisely stopped and restarted.

A snap-action switch is an electromechanical device that has a series of contacts which are typically made of metal. These contacts are connected to a c-shaped segments which move onto or away from the contacts depending on the current or voltage going through the switch. When the switch is pressed, a contact is usually activated, and when the switch is released, the contact is then deactivated. It is the speed with which the switch moves from one position to the other that gives the switch its snap action name.

Application Field for the YZ-2RW84-A2

The YZ-2RW84-A2 snap action limit switch is suitable for industrial and commercial applications. The YZ-2RW84-A2 is typically used in safety circuit applications, such as machine stops and protective interlocks. It has a wide operating temperature range, making it suitable for the most hazardous environments. It is also used in the automotive industry, where its quick response time makes it ideal for controlling an engine’s ignition, fuel system and transmission.

Working Principle of YZ-2RW84-A2

The working principle of the YZ-2RW84-A2 involves a contact which is made of metal, which is connected to a c-shaped segment. When voltage or current is passed through the switch, this contact moves onto or away from the contacts depending on the current or voltage passing through it. When the switch is pressed, the contact is activated, and when the switch is released the contact is deactivated, thus providing the snap action. The YZ-2RW84-A2 also features an adjustable travel angle of up to 30°, and a gold-plated contact which provides reliable operation and a long-term stability.

Conclusion

The YZ-2RW84-A2 snap action limit switch is an essential and vital part of electrical systems. It is used in a variety of industrial and commercial applications, providing reliability and accuracy. With its wide operating temperature range, adjustable travel angle and gold-plated contact, the YZ-2RW84-A2 is a perfect solution for safety circuit applications and automotive applications.
