As the name suggests, this switch is connected to a locking mechanism. This means that only authorised persons can open or close the circuit behind it with the aid of the appropriate key and perform a switching operation.<\/p>\n<p>Possible applications for keylock switches include lifts, machines that may only be operated by trained persons, or the classic ignition lock in a car. All in all, they are used in almost every\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/alders.de\/en\/industries\/\">industry<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the version, keylock switches have one or more snap-in positions. With sliding doors, for example, it is possible to switch between open and closed, automatic or &#8220;exit only&#8221;. A variant in an elevator that only serves to control a certain floor uses only one latching position. The structure is similar for keylock switches which are intended to switch a technical system on or off.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/alders.de\/en\/products\/switches\/key-switch\/\">Keylock switches<\/a>\u00a0are manufactured in various designs and thread sizes.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-292509","glossary","type-glossary","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alders-v2.p3group.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary\/292509","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alders-v2.p3group.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alders-v2.p3group.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/glossary"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/alders-v2.p3group.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary\/292509\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":292510,"href":"https:\/\/alders-v2.p3group.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary\/292509\/revisions\/292510"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alders-v2.p3group.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=292509"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
