World wide, it's the most accurate mechanical precision switch. It's unique design sets the My-Com apart from other mechanically actuated devices, with a switching accuracy of +/- 1 micron; that's only 40 millionths of an inch! It is the ideal solution for applications where extremely accurate set points are needed. The unique design of the My-Com includes a gold plated ball and contacts to minimize electrical resistance across the switch. Zirconium oxyde, Ruby or hardened steel is used for the activator to minimize thermal effects and wear.

Typical applications for this high degree of sensitivity are as a control stop for X-Y positioning tables and as a zero stop in machine tools.
