Technological Development of Switch

Technology tends to advance rapidly in  globalizing world. These advances also bring high competition. This competition shows that manufacturers must constantly improve their products to create products that make a difference. At this point, R&D works are extremely important for manufacturers. R & D works and following the ever-evolving technology positively affect product development. As a result, products with high electrical and mechanical durability are produced.

With the developing technology, switches have been used in all areas. Switches are in industrial products and in our daily life. We encounter Switches in almost every aspect of our daily life.
What makes Boltek products different, our products are produced in accordance with the features of the latest technology products. The materials we use in production determine important quality factors such as the durability of the product, long lifetime, first touch.

The increase in durability and usage time of the products makes the end product the demanded product. When the product is considered as a whole, the constituent parts of the product must have complementary characteristics and quality.

Our products are produced in accordance with the eye-pleasing design, international production conditions and international dimensions. Our R&D works always aim to follow the best product and developing technology.In today's world where competition is high with this production discipline, making our products different from standard products is possible with our technological development power.

What is a Rotary Switch?

Rotary Switches are the first to run the product, besides those act like a circle. Rotary Switch has advantages over analog switches. Its important feature is that they can stand in several positions. They are used to control many different circuits with one switch. These devices have some advantages over other switches, As an example, rotating the actuator can turn circuits on and off depending on position, and many different operating positions are possible. Rotary switches can be designed to allow many functions to occur simultaneously in a single switch position. Rotary switches can be found in many industrial equipment, but are often found in household appliances. Rotary Switches are preferred in equipment where safety should be prioritized.

Rotary switches have a rotating spindle.  The rotors are on a spindle and each rotor has an outwardly projecting lever that can make contact with a terminal when the key is in a specific position. Depending on the specified number of rotors, the switch can have different positions and they can all be connected to a specified circuit.

A locking mechanism is connected to move the rotary switch to the position required to start the product. This system makes a noise so that it stays in place until sufficient force is applied, preventing the switch from turning freely or being misaligned.

The mechanical life of Rotary Switches is determined by the quality of the material used. With the high quality of materials we use in production, our products have a long life. Heat resistance is another factor that determines the life of the product in rotary switches. Another factor affecting the price in Rotary Switches is the price variability of the material used.As the quality of the material used increases, the price will also vary.For example, the spindle used in it can be produced from plastic or metal, depending on the demand. Our products are generally produced as 125 degrees heat resistant and we can increase the heat resistance up to 150 degrees according to demand.

Although the usage areas of Rotary Switch are wide, it is often seen in home appliances products.As an example, rotary switches are an important part that is used to adjust the degrees of the furnaces at angles such as 0-30-60-90 degrees.  The part that provides the rotation feature in the picture below is the rotary switch.

A Rocker Switch

A manufacturer who wants to buy a rotary switch product should inform us the above-mentioned contact diagram shape, how many positions the rotary switch will rotate and at what angle intervals it should do so that we can develop a product with the most appropriate solution for their request.

Positioning accuracy is important in Rotary Switches. If the spindle rotates freely, the closed circuit will not be protected. In order for the circuit connections to work properly, the spindle must be able to stop at the designated places.

How can this be? Rotary switches have locking mechanisms. These lock mechanisms help the key to move to the specified position. As long as the mechanism is connected, it will not rotate again unless a certain force is applied..

These mechanisms are based on grooved and notched wheels that are cut to the outer face and fixed to the rotor. This system will stop when the wheel reaches a predetermined position. And it will hold the system in place until the rotor is rotated into the next channel.

The Importance of Rotary Switch

Rotary switches are important parts used in many machines.Its importance is that it is the first part that runs the product. The history of these keys can be traced back to the 1940s. The usage areas of these products have increased since the past.
Rotary Switches are parts that work with circular movements.They can stand in several positions, can control many circuits over a single switch without the need for more than one. It has a more functional structure and usage area than others those are used in many areas today. The use of this product is intense in industrial products and vehicles, especially home appliances.

The fact that rotary switches control many circuits with a single switch adds practicality and ease of use to the products.The practicality and ease of use of rotary switches are the main reasons for their intensive use in electrical home appliances.For these reasons, rotary switches have been included in the products that people use daily from the past to the present.As an example, someone using a mixer can practically adjust the speed of the mixer with a rotary switch.In addition, rotary switches are often preferred in professional and high-quality audio equipment, military and aviation equipment, medical and diagnostic equipment, construction and agricultural equipment, commercial and military communications equipment, and many off-road vehicles.

One of the most important elements in Rotary Switches is the spindle.Current flows through the spindle as the switch rotates.The spindle is attached to many different rotors.Each rotor has a protruding lever that can make contact with the switch and can form multiple contact points in dozens of different positions.Each position it reaches can close a different circuit. The spindle can be made of plastic or metal. All of our products are resistant to temperatures up to 125 degrees, they can be produced to be resistant up to 150 degrees according to demand. Rotary switches have locking mechanisms.These mechanisms allow the key to move to a specific position.As long as the mechanism is connected, it will not rotate again unless a certain force is applied.In addition, useful haptic feedback is provided for users to be instantly informed when the switch's position is clicked.

Another important feature of rotary switches is their positioning accuracy.If the switch spindle rotates freely, it will not protect the closed circuit.The spindle must be in a precise location for reliable connection of the circuit connections.
Rotary switches have a long mechanical life.The most important factor in their longevity is the quality of the materials used.These switches used in various areas must be resistant to heat, water and dust.Design shapes can be changed significantly and positioned in many devices.
