Understand what industrial switches are
Time： 2023-05-28 12:06
An industrial switch is an electrical switching device widely used in the industrial field, whose main function is to cut off, connect, and control the on-off state of circuits. Industrial switches have the following characteristics and principles:
I. Characteristics
Durability: Both the mechanical and electrical parts of industrial switches are made of high-quality materials, ensuring their excellent durability and ability to withstand harsh industrial environments.
Reliability: The contact parts of industrial switches are precisely designed, giving them good electrical contact performance and stability, maintaining good contact even under high load conditions.
Safety: Safety factors are considered during the design of industrial switches, such as using buttons with protective covers to prevent accidental operation or unintended touching.
Versatility: Industrial switches can achieve various control functions, such as forward/reverse rotation, speed adjustment, starting, and stopping.
II. Principles
Mechanical Principle: The mechanical part of an industrial switch adopts a friction-type switch structure. When the handle or button is pressed, the contact plate of the switch part is separated by a connecting rod or gear mechanism, thereby achieving the connection or disconnection of the switch.
Electrical Principle: Typically, industrial switches are equipped with contacts, which can be divided into normally closed and normally open types. When the contacts are closed, current can pass through the switch, energizing the circuit; when the contacts are open, the circuit is interrupted, cutting off the current.
Control Principle: Industrial switches can achieve various control functions, which are essentially controls over circuits. For example, forward/reverse control can be achieved by changing the motor's polarity, speed adjustment can be achieved by changing the motor's voltage or frequency, and start and stop functions can be achieved by combining or separating the switch contacts.
In summary, as a common control device, industrial switches have wide applications in automated production and industrial control fields. Their characteristics lie in durability, reliability, safety, and versatility, while their working principles are based on mechanical, electrical, and control aspects.
