- **Vibration Requirements**: Installation location should be free from significant vibration
6. Precautions
- **Over-travel Limitation**: Total stroke shall not exceed 7mm to avoid internal structure damage
- **Operation Speed**: Extremely slow or fast operation may cause contact instability or mechanism damage; use at rated frequency is recommended
- **Load Limitation**: Not recommended for micro-loads (e.g., voltage ≤100V), which may reduce contact reliability
2. Application Scenarios
This switch is mainly used for **stroke control of moving mechanisms**, such as:
- Limit protection for machine tools and elevators
- Position detection in motor control circuits
- Program control in automated production lines
3. Installation and Usage Notes
1. **Installation Requirements**
- Must be installed vertically to avoid internal structure damage caused by excessive over-travel (total stroke ≤7mm)
- Refer to the product manual for fixing hole dimensions; use of standard wires for connection is recommended
2. **Environmental Conditions**
- Avoid use in flammable, explosive, or corrosive environments
- Installation location should be free from significant vibration and at an altitude not exceeding 2000 meters
