Key Switches and Locks
(233)Key switches and various locks are used in many areas of machine and device design and manufacturing. One such example are control cabinets: they must be protected from unauthorized access. Control cabinet locks must be durable, but also easy to use and install. In industrial machinery, key switches are used to turn machines on and off with dedicated keys. Manufacturers offer components with different numbers of stable positions and various leads that ensure easy connection to systems. Moreover, these components can easily withstand several thousand cycles and maintain their functionality and resistance to external factors (dust, high temperature, moisture).
