Key Applications of G5 Series in Escalators:


Step Position Detection: G5 Series micro switches can be strategically positioned to detect the position of individual steps on the escalator. This information is crucial for maintaining the synchronized movement of steps, ensuring a smooth and safe ride for passengers.

 

Emergency Stop Functionality: Safety is of utmost importance in escalator design. G5 Series micro switches can be integrated into the emergency stop system, immediately cutting power to the escalator in the event of a malfunction or emergency, preventing potential accidents.

 

Automatic Lubrication Systems: Some escalators incorporate automatic lubrication systems to enhance longevity and reduce wear and tear. G5 Series micro switches can be employed to monitor the levels of lubrication, ensuring that the escalator remains well-maintained for prolonged service life.

 

Handrail Monitoring: Unionwell's micro switches can contribute to the monitoring of handrail movement. This is particularly crucial for ensuring that the handrail is synchronized with the steps, providing a comfortable and secure experience for passengers.
