MS007

The development of the MS007 has enabled the realisation of a number of technical advantages that were as yet unavailable on the market in this combination and size.

The switch system

The MS007 contains an innovative leaf spring switch system that is characterised by its high precision, flipping behaviour and switching accuracy. In addition, the advantages of the screw tension spring system could also be implemented for the development. This ensures a long service life for this switch system and enables an overtravel of 2 mm, whereby higher tolerances can be handled, along with differential travels of<0.15mm realisieren lassen.

Wide variety

Because of the modular design of the microswitch, a wide variety of versions can be created to meet various requirements. For example, various pin versions as well as combinations of pins / mounting holes are available for mounting. In addition, the MS007 also offers various connection types, lever shapes and contact materials. Even individual conditions regarding switching capacity, temperature and reagent resistance are possible with our MS007. Customer-specific adjustments can be implemented quickly and easily due to the modular design.

Other features of the MS007

- High mechanical strength for secure microswitch mounting
- Travel angle of up to 40° / Lateral travel angle of 30°
- IP6K7 protection class

Diagnostic capability

Two exactly defined resistance values are indicated with switches with a diagnostic capability, e.g. "open" and "closed" for a car door for the control unit in the car. This means that only these two defined resistance values reliably indicate "open" or "closed" for a door. Without these reliable signals, no car should engage in the automatic start-stop operation, automatic parking and in no way, in autonomous driving. This function has helped ensure that our diagnostic-capable microswitches have remained reliable in many applications over several years.

MS001

The MS001 is a further development of the MS003 safety switch to ensure compliance with the requirements of the industry and automotive sectors when it comes to a sealed, double contact switch. Here the existing mounting option of the switch was upgraded and can be used in fully automatic production.

The switch system

The MS001 draws on the proven switching principle of the MS003. The switch system contains two moving contacts that are positioned on a lever via a screw tension spring. When the plunger is actuated, both moving contacts flip from both bottom contacts to both upper contacts. This powers off both bottom contacts. A synchronous flip of the moving contacts is always ensured for the corresponding switching speed. The MS001 is completely sealed in accordance with protection class IP6K7 due to the sealing of the plunger and a casting of the connection contacts.

Mounting, mechanical strength

The design of the switch housing with a solid base section made of glass-fibre reinforced plastic was taken from the MS007 as a proven feature. It offers the required high mechanical strength to ensure secure switch mounting. The switch system is anchored in this, which thus has a direct link to the mounting references. Two mounting holes ensure secure installation. In addition, various pin versions can also be provided as an option.

With the development of the MF007, a number of technical advantages have been achieved that have not been represented on the market before in this special combination and size. In particular, the MF007 is characterized by its remarkable efficiency compared to conventional switches.

The switch system

The MF007 contains an innovative spring switching system, which is characterized by its high precision and switching accuracy. Due to its unique design, the number of individual parts can be reduced and used for different variants as well.

Wide variety

Thanks to its modular design, the microswitch allows a wide range of variants to be created to meet individual requirements. For example, various housing versions are available to ensure suitable mounting. In addition, the MF007 offers various connection types and lever shapes. Thanks to its modular design, customer-specific adaptations can be implemented quickly and easily.

Other features of the MS007

- High mechanical strength for secure microswitch mounting
- IP6K7 protection class
- Low control currents as well as high load currents up to 2A possible

Diagnostic capability

The diagnostic-capable switches can be used to display two precisely defined resistance values. The status of a car door, for example, is thus reliably detected by the control unit because two differently defined resistance values/voltages are present at the system. This means that only these two defined resistance values reliably indicate "open" or "closed" of a door. This means that short circuits or cable breaks can be ruled out. Without these reliable signals, no car should go into automatic start-stop mode, not park automatically, and definitely not drive autonomously.
