ZC-Q2155-01

Snap Action, Limit Switches

The ZC-Q2155-01 is a type of snap action, limit switch. This type of switch is used in switching applications to set a limit of either an upper or lower range and to separate circuits. They are primarily used for automatic machine control and are reliable, precise, and can be calibrated for extremely precise measurements of very small changes in the range of motion.

A snap-action switch works by using a bi-metallic strip to trigger a set of contacts, usually when a set point is reached or exceeded. The force of the bi-metallic strip bending causes the switch to make a snapping or clicking sound which tells the user that the limit has been reached.

These switches are typically sealed with rubber and other materials in order to reduce the risk of damage and failure due to dust, moisture and other contaminants. This is why they are often used in all weather applications such as outdoor industrial equipment, HVAC systems, and in washing machines or other appliances.

Other uses of the ZC-Q2155-01 include automatic machine control applications such as momentary stops, safety interlocks, and pressure actuation. This versatile device can also be used for continuous production lines to monitor the working parameters, and for electronic counting, furnaces and other process control applications.

The ZC-Q2155-01 model is designed to be resistant to shock and vibration, making it a reliable and durable choice for tough industrial environments. It is UL approved and rated for operating temperature ranges between -20°C to +70°C. The switch also has a long electrical life, with an average current rating of 15A, and a maximum switching current of 5A.

In conclusion, the ZC-Q2155-01 model is a robust and reliable type of limit switch that is able to provide precise measurements and control in a wide range of harsh and hazardous environments. It is UL approved and comes with a variety of safety features, making it an ideal choice for industrial automatic machine control, safety interlocks and other process control applications.
