MICRO-SWITCH
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the MS-120 micro-switch designed for?
A: The MS-120 is a precision micro-switch for electric lift truck control circuits. It serves as a sensor or actuator component in material handling equipment, responding to mechanical motion or position changes to trigger truck functions.
Q: Which electric lift truck models use the MS-120?
A: The MS-120 is compatible with various electric lift trucks and pallet jacks from major OEM manufacturers including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and Linde. Verify your equipment model and serial range before ordering to confirm compatibility.
Q: What is the rated electrical capacity of the MS-120?
A: Industrial micro-switches in this category typically operate at 5 to 10 amps and voltages up to 250V AC. Check your truck documentation for the specific electrical circuit requirement and switch specification to match the MS-120 to your application.
Q: What is the expected service life of the MS-120?
A: The MS-120 is engineered for tens of thousands of cycles in industrial duty. Actual service life depends on cycle frequency, environmental exposure (humidity, temperature variations), and proper circuit voltage management.
Q: How do I diagnose if the MS-120 is failing?
A: Signs of MS-120 failure include intermittent truck malfunction, unresponsive controls, sporadic behavior, or physical damage to the switch body or actuator. If the truck function is inconsistent or fails to engage properly, the switch may need replacement.
