What is a microswitch?
A microswitch is an electrical component that closes and interrupts electric circuits. We also call them mini-switches or miniature switches. They control, detect, limit or activate a specific action. You actually use them more often than you might suspect. Think, for example, of your car key that operates remotely, or the door of your microwave oven.
Microswitches also register the movements of parts in vehicles such as forklifts, stackers and reach trucks. There's a miniature switch under the seat that detects weight and pressure. This ensures that your forklift won’t run away without a driver. Microswitches can also be found in your vehicle's brake lock, steering control and safety systems, among others.
Advantages and disadvantages of a microswitch
Microswitches are used very often. Their frequent movements make them susceptible to wear and tear. Has a microswitch broken down or stopped working as it should? Then your forklift, stacker or reach truck will no longer function safely.
Miniature switches do, of course, have many advantages. High-quality ones have a low cost and a long service life, up to 10 million cycles. In the JVD Parts webshop, you’ll exclusively find high-quality brands such as Hangcha, Jungheinrich, CESAB, Toyota, Linde, Hyster, JLG, Genie, Haulotte and Manitou. So you can always be sure that your new component will work perfectly.
Which microswitch do you need?
The number of different types of microswitches is as large as the number of different applications they serve. If you have an article number at hand, you can order a 1-to-1 replacement. Can’t find what you’re looking for? Then look at parameters such as the electrical rating, dimensions, operating force and the number of cycles required.
