Application
Renew’s basic switches play a critical role in ensuring the safety, precision, and reliability of various devices across different fields. Here are some popular or potential application.

Elevators and lifting equipment
Installed at each floor position in the elevator shaft to send a floor position signal to the control system and ensure precise floor stopping. Used to detect the position and status of the elevator safety gear, ensuring the elevator can stop safely in an emergency.

Industrial Machinery
Used in industrial applications such as industrial air compressors and hydraulic and pneumatic systems to limit the maximum movement for pieces of equipment, ensuring precise positioning and safe operation during processing.

Valves and Flow Meters
Employed on valves to monitor the position of the valve handle by indicating if the switch is actuated. In this case, basic switches perform position sensing on cams with no power consumption.
