What is the difference between 1. micro switch and travel switch "Micro switch" is also called "non-contact switch" belongs to the electrical switch, "travel switch" refers to the control of the machine, machine tool table movement distance (stroke distance, reciprocating motion) of the switch. so where is the difference between micro switch and travel switch? There is no fundamental difference between the travel switch and the micro switch. The interior of the travel switch is actually a micro switch, but there is a certain difference in appearance. Compared with the micro switch, the travel switch has a relatively strong shell, which is in contact with the moving object. There is a buffer distance that depends on the expansion and contraction of the spring, so that the internal micro switch can act immediately after the moving object contacts. Due to the buffer distance, the micro switch is protected.

What are the classification of 2. micro switches
There are many kinds of micro switches, and there are hundreds of kinds of internal structures
1. According to volume points, there are ordinary, small and ultra-small.
2. According to the protection performance, there are waterproof type, dustproof type and explosion-proof type
3. According to the breaking form, there are single connection type, double connection type, multi connection type, and a strong disconnection micro switch (when the reed of the switch does not work, the external force can also disconnect the switch)
4, according to the breaking capacity, there are ordinary type, DC type, micro current type, high current type.
5. According to the use environment, there are ordinary type, high temperature resistant type (250C) and ultra high temperature resistant ceramic type (400C)
Micro-switches are generally based on non-auxiliary press attachments, and small and large programs are derived. Different auxiliary pressing aids can be added according to needs. According to the different pressing aids added, the switches can be divided into button type, reed roller type, lever roller type, short boom type, long boom type and other forms.
