____ switches detect overtravel.
A) Zero speed
B) Pressure
C) Proximity
D) Overtorque

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Proximity switches are commonly used to detect overtravel in many industrial applications. They work by detecting the presence or absence of an object within a certain distance of the switch, allowing them to signal when a component has moved too far in a particular direction. Zero speed switches monitor the speed of rotating machinery, pressure switches measure changes in pressure, and overtorque switches are used to detect excessive torque in a rotating shaft. None of these are specifically designed to detect overtravel. Therefore, proximity switches are the best choice for this application.
