Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the MS-112 micro-switch used for?
A: The MS-112 is a precision micro-switch designed for electric lift truck applications. It functions as a control circuit component in material handling equipment, triggering functions based on mechanical actuation or position sensing.
Q: What equipment is the MS-112 compatible with?
A: The MS-112 is used in electric pallet jacks, walkie stackers, and other electric lift trucks from manufacturers including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and Jungheinrich. Verify your truck model matches the mounting and electrical requirements before ordering.
Q: What are the typical electrical ratings for the MS-112?
A: Micro-switches in this class are typically rated between 5 to 10 amps at voltages up to 250V AC for industrial duty cycles. Confirm the exact rating on your equipment specification sheet to ensure compatibility with your circuit requirements.
Q: How long does the MS-112 typically last?
A: Micro-switches are rated for tens of thousands of electrical cycles in normal industrial use. Lifespan depends on frequency of actuation, environment (moisture, temperature, dust), and proper circuit protection and voltage regulation.
Q: What failure symptoms indicate the MS-112 needs replacement?
A: Replace the MS-112 if the truck intermittently loses function, does not respond consistently to controls, displays erratic behavior, or if the switch actuator feels damaged or does not return to position. Contact us for diagnostics if unsure.
