A new video resource library from Select Controls, Inc. of Bohemia, NY, introduces aerospace and military manufacturers and maintenance specialists to the company’s aerospace switches. These parts include acceleration switches, disturbance switches, and tilt switches that function as sensors and automation devices. The series of six videos answer questions about sourcing high-performance aerospace switches for…

Acceleration switches facilitate automated system responses when a specific range of acceleration or abrupt change in velocity is detected. Like most electronic sensor switches, they operate based on a simple on/off principle, but how they carry this out, and the systems into which they are incorporated, can be quite complex. When acceleration switches are needed…

Switches are electronic components that make many automated processes possible. They operate based on a simple on/off principal to trigger a response. How they carry this out and the inciting factors that make them respond, however, can be far more complex. Understanding how switches work and choosing the right one for a specific application can…
