Designers looking for a robust waterproof limit switch, will almost certainly run across our switches at some point. It’s that “all roads lead to Rome” thing. Sometimes however, its not just the stainless steel, high electromechanical endurance aspect of our… Continue reading CPI Limit Switches – Climbing that Mounting
Sometimes, the best engineering advances arise out of failure. To quote Thomas Edison “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that don’t work!” Indeed as one looks at the development history of CPI’s patented J4 ball switch, its… Continue reading CPI’s J4 Ball Switch – A Problem Solver for the Military and Beyond
The design of the modern work truck is moving forward at an amazing pace. With long haul trucks, the focus has been on collision avoidance systems and advanced controls for fuel economy, but dump truck builders have long had a… Continue reading Dump Truck Safety System Design
Engineers and system designers looking for reliable switch products often face a quandary. Selection of switches with their inherent mechanical limitations must be pondered carefully or they risk being the proverbial “weakest link” in an otherwise robust control or safety… Continue reading Push Button Switch Types
Behold the simple yet much misunderstood start switch, deployed ubiquitously throughout every corner of the world, almost everywhere there is an electronic motor or actuator of some type. Simple matter of closing a couple contacts you say? Well we beg… Continue reading The Not-So-Simple Start Switch.
While many of the most demanding applications for our waterproof switches exist in military vehicles, planes, offshore drilling equipment, naval vessels, and mining and drilling equipment, it turns out that our switches have found a home in wide range of… Continue reading Waterproof Switches for Specialty Vehicles.
The second part in our continuing series on CPI Limit Switch applications highlights a few of the extreme duty deployments where harsh outdoor conditions, high vibration, and heavy usage are the norm. Many of these kinds of implementations can be… Continue reading Limit Switch Unlimited Uses – Part 2
CPI has been making waterproof limit switches in a variety of form factors for over 50 years now and the simple message about our switch products is: “built to last”. Our stuff is tough, made of stainless steel and carefully engineered… Continue reading 5 Reasons You Can’t Kill Our Plunger Switches
