Linear Switching Elements:
Strip-Switch™ linear switching elements are normally open, momentary-contact, pressure-activated switches. They are available in lengths ranging from 2 inches to 2,000 feet.
The conductors are made from a precisely formulated alloy that has very low resistance. It is then specially processed to produce a highly consistent switching action, together with an extremely long mechanical life expectancy.
Strip-Switch™ products are designed for more than 5 million operations at any given point.
Switch Operation
- When a load is applied to the rib, it causes the top conductor to be deflected toward the lower conductor.
- When the upper conductor is deflected enough to touch the lower conductor, the switch is activated.
- When the load is removed, the upper conductor breaks contact with the lower conductor.
