All reports have us in for a cold winter this year, with temperatures here in NJ hoovering around freezing pretty consistently during the day and well below freezing at night. While we’re bundling up to stay warm, it turns out… Continue reading Some Cold Performance from CPI Switches
Momentary Switch Design Parameters Extreme duty applications that require a momentary switch with ultra harsh environmental and duty cycle requirements call for more than just a “weatherproof” or “splashproof” rated component. For more than 40 years CPI’s has made precisely… Continue reading Momentary Switches for Extreme Duty – Reducing Failure Rates
CPI Rod & Tube Thermal Switches are unique in the world for their extremely high temperature set points, their extreme reliability and their tight tolerances. The most recent variation of our W series Rod & Tube switch represents a small… Continue reading CPI W Series Thermal Switches Solve Unique Thermal Challenges
Some of us press sealed switch enclosures dozens of times a day and never think twice about it— as long as they work. Yet an unresponsive switch or one with the wrong force characteristics can get plenty of attention, none… Continue reading Why Switch Tactile Feel is Important
The safety and redundancy requirements of modern aircraft are one of the many areas that drive the use of advanced mechanical thermal switches like CPI’s. It turns out that while flimsy sensors and microcontrollers are a fair solution to some… Continue reading CPI Thermals For Aircraft Fire Detection
In today’s demanding industrial and military applications, where failure is not an option, the CPI J4 series Ball & Plunger switches stand out for their exceptional durability and compact design. Built to endure the harshest environments—from scorching heat to freezing… Continue reading Durable J4 Ball & Plunger Switches: Reliable Performance in Any Environment
For engineers designing systems on Turf and Forestry Equipment, complex and critical safety and control systems often require the waterproof durability of an American made, CPI Waterproof Limit Switch. Manufacturers like John Deere, Vermeer, Dougherty, Morebark, Hagie and Lippel have… Continue reading Sensors For Forestry Equipment
Commonly used in construction vehicles, work trucks, scissor lifts, cranes, and fire trucks are small hydraulic cylinders that move a variety of arms and surfaces to and from a terminal position, or sometimes stopping in the middle. One great class… Continue reading Position Detection for Vehicular Hydraulic Systems
As specialized machines go, a harvester is pretty darn cool. Designed to harvest wheat, grain, corn these machines are robust highly efficient vehicles that see extreme usage during harvest season. They can harvest up to 30 acres an hour in… Continue reading CPI Switches Harvest Design Wins
It turns out that for turf equipment manufacturers, CPI waterproof limit switches solve a wide variety of problems in the hot, wet, highly vibrational environment of most turf machinery. Here a just a few of the applications and solutions CPI… Continue reading Outdoor Turf Equipment Was Made for CPI Switches
