Frequently Asked Questions
Microswitches are used in industrial automation, control panels, elevators, CNC machines, safety interlocks, and packaging machinery where precise and fast switching is required.
A microswitch is a snap-action switch that operates with minimal movement, while a limit switch detects the position of moving parts. Microswitches are often used inside limit switch assemblies.
Industrial microswitches typically offer up to 1 million electrical operations and up to 10 million mechanical operations depending on load conditions.
The right microswitch depends on current rating, voltage, actuator type, mounting style, and environmental conditions. Our team can assist in selecting the best model for your needs.
