Introduction
Micro switches can be found in household appliances, industrial equipment, automotive components, and even medical devices. They are also present in end effectors of laparoscopic surgical robots, flow regulation components of infusion pumps, and foot control panels of high-frequency electrosurgical units. Due to their small errors, quick triggering, accuracy, and ability to withstand extreme environments, micro switches have become the core component for precise control in medical equipment. With the popularization and deepening of intelligent surgical equipment and minimally invasive surgery, and the high requirements for the sterility, accuracy, and reliability of components in medical scenarios, micro switches suitable for medical equipment have built a safety barrier for medical safety.
The Importance of Micro switches
Surgery directly affects the patient's life safety, so an absolutely sterile environment must be ensured. Therefore, all equipment must undergo sterilization treatments such as high-temperature and high-pressure sterilization and chemical disinfectant immersion sterilization. The equipment must also achieve precise triggering. It must respond precisely within a short stroke and avoid false actions. Another point to note is high reliability. It must ensure zero-fault operation during long surgeries. Micro switches adopt shells that can withstand high temperatures and high pressures and chemical reagents, adopt sealed design to prevent leakage, and use corrosion-resistant alloy materials to make contacts. The short-stroke design enables the equipment to trigger quickly, and the long mechanical life of the switch ensures stable operation.
conclusion
The breakthrough of domestic medical-grade micro switches ensures the independent control of the medical equipment industry and guarantees medical safety.
