Industrial Applications

1. Pneumatic Cylinder End-Stroke Detection

Detects when a low-force pneumatic actuator reaches its extended or retracted limit position. The simulated roller lever reduces friction and wear against the cylinder's cam, while the 0.49 N operating force prevents mechanical binding of the actuator.

Problem Solved

Solves premature wear and friction problems on actuator rods/cams by using a simulated roller, while sending a reliable electrical signal (5A 125VAC) to the control PLC.

2. Commercial Beverage Dispenser Cup Sensing

Used inside automatic beverage dispensing kiosks to detect the presence of a cup. The lightweight cup easily triggers the low 0.49 N operating force switch via the simulated roller lever without tipping over.

Problem Solved

Eliminates the risk of beverage spillage and cup displacement during detection, and handles up to 5 A current to directly toggle solenoid valves without requiring an intermediate relay.

3. Industrial Safety Guard Interlock

Applied as a position sensing switch on the protective hinged doors of CNC machines or manufacturing enclosures. When the guard door is fully closed, it depresses the simulated roller lever to complete the safety circuit.

Problem Solved

Ensures the machine only operates when safety doors are closed. The ultra-high 30,000,000 mechanical life cycle rating guarantees long-term reliability in high-frequency access environments.
