The stroke switch is mainly used to convert mechanical displacement into an electrical signal, so that the operating state of the motor can be changed, so as to control the mechanical action or used as a program control.
The real use of the stroke switch is in industry, where it works with other equipment to form more complex automation equipment.
There are many such stroke switches on machine tools, which can be used to control the movement of the workpiece or the stroke of automatic tool feed to avoid collision accidents. Sometimes the stroke switch is used to automatically commutate the controlled object between the two specified positions, so as to obtain a continuous reciprocating motion. For example, when the automatic material transport trolley reaches the end point, it touches the stroke switch, turns on the rollover mechanism, and turns over the materials in the car and returns to the starting point. After arriving at the starting point, touch the stroke switch of the starting point, turn on the circuit of the loading mechanism, and start automatic loading. Always like this, it becomes an automatic production line, without human control, working day and night, saving people’s manual labor.
