A micro switch is a generic term used to refer to an
electric switch that is able to be actuated by very little
physical force, through the use of a tipping-point
mechanism.

Answer / murthy
Micro switch is a switch which change the mechanical contacts from one position to another position NO (normally open)to NC (normally close) when the corresponding parameter reaches to set parameter...
power ratings depends upon the material& thickness used for mechanical contacts

Micro switch, the name itself says that the switch which
can be operated in the micro movements like
pressure/level/temp sensors fine expansions. It returns
back with the spring operation by switching the potential
free contacts from NO-close & NC-open.

Micro switch is just like our ordinary switch but the
difference is that it regains its original position i.e.
normally close contact upon removal of force to it. it has a
spring lever mechanism. & two contacts nc & no. its used for
safety purpose to limiting the movement of some movable
parts & to take a feedback also.many applications are there
in which we can used it.

what is the difference between transmitter and converters?
What is expansion of SMART Instruments? And What is it?
Hi friends, from Aug 4th onwards iam getting spikes for analog inputs in our DCS for a period of 800ms. I throughly checked every thing, finally i found that the DI, DO's from MCC panels shields are terminated in the Signal Earth where Analog Input signals shields are terminated. Is there any problem with this type of termination?. i checked the induction voltage from MCC and getting around 25VAC, please suggest me in this concern. Our plant is 8months old only. DCS is Siemens Make Simatic PCS7, and the transmitters are Yokogawa make.
why we use by pas on a positioner? When can a by pass be not used on a positioner ?
Why plc require in analog input 4-20amp & 0-10 volt?
Explain any simple temperature control system.
what is instrumentation?
what is virtual instrumentation
centrifugal compressor interlock? Tell me the parameter at which compressor will trip
In thermocouple could we use the lug for termination or not,Thermocouple is any time,I am currently concerned with K type.please let me know if anybody know
