Snap-action switches

Our snap-action switches are specifically designed for safety-related applications. They are used as limit switches for material-handling equipment and cranes, for machinery and industrial plants and for controlling doors in public transport vehicles. No matter what the application, all of these switches share one thing in common—they all comply with stringent standards for safety-related circuits. The positive opening mechanism as developed by Schaltbau guarantees that these switches will always function even if the contacts stick or melt or the snap-action mechanism fails.

Safety you can see—our snap-action switches with their transparent green bodies are known throughout the world.
