Technical Handbook: Basic Knowledge of Key Switches and Points for Safe Design
A Comprehensive Handbook for Mastering Industrial Key Switches: Understand Safety Design and Case Studies from the Basics with Illustrations!
The "key switch" that influences the operation and safety of industrial equipment. This book systematically explains everything from its mechanism to the key points of selection and design, serving as a practical guide that allows beginner engineers and purchasing personnel to quickly determine "what to choose and how to use it." Chapters 1 to 3 organize the key points of safety design, such as structure, operating principles, dust and water resistance (IP66), and forced separation mechanisms (in accordance with IEC 60947-5-1), with abundant illustrations. Chapter 4 presents a comprehensive table of the Klaus & Neumer product lineup covering rated currents from 1 mA to 32 A, and verifies specific results such as "zero failures" and "30% reduction in man-hours" through case studies from four industries: food machinery, automotive equipment, outdoor gates, and more. The end of the book includes a checklist and a comparison table of contact materials, condensing know-how that can be used "from the day you read it." It is a compact 16-page version supervised by the authoritative technical team of the company, making it ideal for sharing on-site or as internal training materials.
