Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the rated voltage and current capacity of the MS-86 micro-switch?
A: The MS-86 is rated for 250 VAC with a resistive load capacity of 16 amperes at 250 VAC. It features snap action contacts with a 1NO + 1NC contact configuration for direct action switching in electric lift truck applications.
Q: What protection level does the MS-86 provide and what is the housing material?
A: The MS-86 provides protection degrees of IP20, IP40, or IP65 depending on the model selected. The housing is constructed from glass-reinforced polymer, which delivers durability in industrial material handling environments and provides excellent chemical and mechanical resistance.
Q: How long does the MS-86 micro-switch last in continuous duty?
A: The MS-86 is rated for 10 million operations over its operating life. With a maximum operating frequency of 3600 cycles per hour, it is designed for high-frequency switching in electric lift truck control systems and provides reliable long-term performance in demanding applications.
Q: Which electric lift truck brands use the MS-86 micro-switch?
A: The MS-86 is compatible with major electric lift truck manufacturers including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Jungheinrich, Linde, Clark, Mitsubishi, CAT, and BT. Verify model and serial range compatibility before ordering to ensure correct fitment for your equipment.
Q: What maintenance is required for the MS-86 micro-switch?
A: The MS-86 requires minimal maintenance due to its high mechanical precision and sealed design. Monitor for any loss of snap action response or intermittent switching behavior, which may indicate wear. The glass-reinforced polymer housing resists environmental contamination, extending service intervals.
