SWITCH

A Switch is a device for making, breaking, or changing the connections in an electrical circuit. This is very simple, how you make the switch switch though is the fun part and interesting part of our buisness. Sords Electric has all kinds of switches for dong all kinds of things. We can also call valves swtiches, which stop or start or change the flow of a media such as water, gas, or air. Our industrial automated lifestyle relies on switches to get everything done, from opening up garage doors, turning on lights, washing clothes, traffic control, water treatment and making everything that our industrial world demands. Without a switch or valve, nothing could be "automatic."

Every switch needs an actuation device. A person can be this device such as turning on a light or coffee maker. Upon doing so you push a button or move a lever to make the switch switch. In the automation world, the actuation is done electrically; a coil or solenoid. However, this acuation also has to be triggered by a sensor. This gives us the automatic switch needed for automation and control.

Sords Electric has switches that use light, sound, temperature, flow, magnets, current, voltage, pressure, and even hands to switch the switch. Names for these types of switches are photoelectric switches, laser switches, ultrasonic switches, temperature switches, flow switches, proximity switches, GFCIs or current switches, contactors and relays, pressure switches and control mats, and manual disconnect switches.

In further posts we can discuss each type of switch and how they function.
