What is the Micro Switch in Forklift Parts Hydraulic Control Valve?

 The microswitch on the valve


The micro switch or limit switch is installed on the spool on where another side of the valve just like the pictures shows. And, it can control the oil supplementary valve, overload valve, flow divider valve. So it should play an important role in the components. However, not all the hydraulic valves in the forklift will install micro switches. Today, I will show you the forklift control valve with microswitches and what kinds of switches you will need.

What's the forklift control valve?

The function of the forklift control valve control system is through the operation of the multi-way valve to change the flow direction of the hydraulic oil. So that the working device of the forklift can be controlled to the mast lifting and tilting forward or backward. Meanwhile, the limiting pressure of the hydraulic system can prevent the overloading of the forklift.

The directional control is generally designed to be stackable. They normally have one valve per hydraulic cylinder as well as a liquid input that provides all the valves in the pile.

In order to avoid dripping and also manage the high pressure, tolerances are preserved exceptionally tight. Generally, the spindles have a clearance with the housing of less than a thousandth of an inch or 25 µm. So as to stop obstructing the shutoff’s very delicate components as well as misshaping the shutoff. The valve block would be placed to the machine’s structure with a 3-point pattern.

Solenoids, a hydraulic pilot pressure, or mechanical levers can activate or push the spool right or left. A seal permits a part of the spool to stand out from the real estate where it is accessible to the actuator.

So, whats the best-known types of micro switches in it?



Generally, because of the size, rating, operation force, the G5T16, and G12 series micro switches are used frequently by the forklift parts manufacturer.

The requirement of a control valve for a micro switch or limit switch.

Firstly, the most important thing is the rating. For example, the maximal of voltage and current should be large than the forklift which can make sure the switch work. Secondly, the switch size and operation force should match with the installation situation. Thirdly, it is the electrical cycles, a micro switch will affect the life of the control valve.

How to choose a switch?

As a years experience of switch manufacturer, for the forklift project. We suggest the certificates, rating, and size, both of them are the most important thing. And our GT516 and G12 is the regular model in the forklift, if you need more details, please fee free to contact us.

What kind of metal is in a micro switch? Most of the microswitch includes these parts, like a lever, Internal lever, Terminals (NC/NC and Common), Plunger, Case, Cover, Contacts, Movable Plate, Sharpnel/ Spring, etc. And the parts of the lever, terminals, contact, movable plate, shrapnel or spring are all made of metal. Because of different requirements, like anti-corrosion, micro switch manufacturers will use different kinds of metal to assemble them. As a result, these kinds of requirements will cause a different price for a micro switch. Generally, most of the material for these metal parts in a micro switch is alloy. For example, the microswitch lever and Internal lever are stainless steel, and the terminals could be Cu alloy or ferroalloy with silver or gold plate. What’s more, the metal contact is Cu and Ag alloy material. Most of the shrapnel is a copper alloy and the Spring is SWC. All in all, the kind of metal in a micro switch most of them is Cu alloy! You can try to separat...

The Microswitch & Slide Switch in Electric Screwdriver

图片
The Introduction of Electronic Screwdriver An electronic  screwdriver  is a tool for installing or removing the screws on a machine. It also calls powered screwdrivers, I mean it is different from the manual type and it saves your time when working. There are brushless type and brush type screw driver on the market. Generally, the brushless is expensive than the brush one. If a manufacturer wanna produce an electric screwdriver, it needs the know all the accessories. Today, let’s talk about the slide switch and the micro switch in the powered screwdriver. And both of them are snap action switches. You can see the position of the microswitch and slide switch in the picture. They play a different role in the tool. Firstly, the micro switch is used to control the power ON or OFF. For example, when pressuring the button, the screwdriver begins to work while it will stop when releasing. Secondly, the slide switch can control the direction of rotation by changing the electric circui...
