Keylock Switches

Keylock Switches are electronically controlled switches operated by a mechanical key and are widely used in devices requiring access control.

 

1. What are the Core Features of Keylock Switches?

Physical Locking Mechanism: Inserting or turning a key directly switches the circuit on and off, preventing unauthorized operation.

 

Multi-Level Security: Available with a dust- and water-resistant housing (IP67 rating) and corrosion-resistant contacts.

 

Customization Options: Supports various key profiles (such as cross and sawtooth) for system-level security differentiation.

 

2. What are the Typical Applications of Keylock Switches?

Industrial Equipment: Emergency stop protection systems for CNC machine tools and injection molding machines.

 

Energy: Isolating operational permissions for distribution boxes and solar inverters.

 

Special Vehicles: Starting control for construction machinery and fire trucks.
