Schaltbau GmbH: New snap-action switches for extreme applications
Munich, December 01, 2012: The new S926 and S970 snap-action switch series have been developed for use in severe environmental conditions. Their robust polyetherimide (PEI) housings make for greater resilience when exposed to extreme temperatures, improved resistance to chemicals and 50% more shock resistance compared with polycarbonate.The amber-coloured, transparent snap-action switches are highly suited for applications in which the impact forces involved require the materials used to withstand a great deal of shock as in door systems of railway vehicles. They are also highly recommendable for use in products exposed to aggressive chemical influences or extreme temperatures (-55°C to +150°C). They are also suitable for offshore applications such as wind turbines as well as for printing machines.
“Connect – Contact – Control” is the motto under which Schaltbau GmbH develops and manufactures electromechanical components for transportation technology, energy, industry and material handling.
