Micro Switches Regarding installation
The Micro Switches Use M3 screws for mounting and securely attach using flat washers, spring washers, etc. The tightening torque should be 0.39 to 0.59 N m.
Mounting direction
Regarding the actuator specifications, please install the actuator in a direction that does not apply its own weight to the Micro Switches.
This is a low Micro Switches and has a small return force, which may cause a return failure.
Regarding use with Micro Switches
Using a general-purpose switch when switching a Micro Switches circuit can cause poor contact. We recommend using the switch within the range of use, referring to the diagram below. Even if a microload type is used within the area shown inthe diagram below, if the load generates an inrush current when Micro Switches, contact wear will be rapid and durability will decrease, so insert a contact protection circuit as necessary. The minimum applicable load is the N-levelreference value. This represents the failure level at a confidence level of 60% (λ60
). (JIS C5003)
λ60 = 0.5×10-6/times means that at a confidence level of 60%, failure is estimated to occur less than 1/2,000,000 times.

Micro Switches Handling
Do not subject the switch to strong shocks, as this is a low Micro Switches and may cause damage to the internal mechanism.
