Contact Switches – Reliable Safety Solutions for Elevator Doors

Contact switches are vital electrical components used in elevator systems to ensure safety and operational efficiency. They function as electrical safety switches that prevent the elevator from moving when doors are not securely closed, protecting passengers and maintaining compliance with international elevator safety standards.

What are Contact Switches?

Contact switches, also called door contact switches, are designed to detect whether an elevator door is open or closed. When the door is closed properly, the contact switch completes an electrical circuit, allowing the lift to operate. If the door is open or partially closed, the circuit remains open, preventing lift movement and ensuring passenger safety.

Applications of Contact Switches

• Contact switches are widely used in:
• Passenger elevators
• Home lifts and villa elevators

• Hospital lifts and stretcher elevators
• Commercial building elevators
• Industrial goods elevators

They are compatible with both manual and automatic elevator doors, including sliding doors, telescopic doors, and centre opening doors.

Importance of Contact Switches in Elevator Systems

The primary purpose of contact switches is to ensure that the elevator remains stationary if the door is open, preventing serious accidents and equipment damage. They form an essential part of elevator safety circuits and are mandatory components in lift installations worldwide.

Regular inspection and replacement of contact switches is crucial to maintaining elevator safety and operational reliability. A faulty contact switch can result in unexpected lift stoppage or safety system failures, leading to inconvenience and risks for passengers.
