Key switch
Key switch for protection against unauthorized operation
Key switches ensure that switches can only be operated using a matching key. They are used, for example, to provide additional safety when operating heavy machinery or for opening and closing gates and doors. These switches are also used to protect against vandalism in publicly accessible control systems such as elevators. In our product range, you will find different key switches suitable for your project.
We offer, for example, key switches with the following properties:
- Key switches with different thread sizes
- Keys in different designs
- Key switches with up to five positions
To ensure that you receive a product you can always rely on, we use the quality of NKK Switches for key switches. Not only the quality is convincing, but also the price-performance ratio of the manufacturer’s products.
If you are interested in the key switches or have any questions, please contact our expert, who is available by phone and email.
Key switch by ALDERS
Key switches from our premium partner NKK Switches
A key switch is an electrical switch that contains a lock for security purposes. This means that the switching operation can only be performed by authorised persons with the appropriate key. Turning the key in the switch triggers a specific signal. For example, in elevators, a key switch can be used to select floors. They are also used to switch on electrical circuits or to safely operate machines that involve a potential risk. There are therefore many possible applications for this type of switch.
At ALDERS, we supply key switches from NKK Switches because they offer outstanding quality and high reliability. You can choose between the SK and CK series from NKK Switches. Both series are characterised by high robustness and a very low contact resistance in the milliohm range. They also offer a long service life of 30,000 switching cycles. One advantage of the CK series is the self-cleaning sliding contact, which further improves reliability and extends service life.
