Hinge Switches

Hinge switches, also known as safety or position switches, play a crucial role in guaranteeing safety and efficiency in various industrial and domestic settings. These switches are ingeniously designed to determine the position of mechanical parts, doors, or safety guards, making them indispensable in applications where user safety and process integrity are paramount. Hinge switches operate by integrating the switching function with the actual hinge mechanism that rotates as a door or a lid opens or closes, thus providing seamless safety solutions without requiring additional space. Their robust construction often involves durable materials like stainless steel or high-grade plastics to withstand harsh environments and frequent use.

What Materials are Used to Produce Hinge Switches?

Typically made from high-strength materials like stainless steel, aluminium, or industrial-grade plastics. Corrosion-resistant finishes to enhance durability in various environments.

Available Types Include

• Single-axis hinge switches.
• Multi-axis position switches.
• Adjustable and fixed operation angle hinge switches.
