Elevator sensors and switches help the system know what to do and when to do it. These parts are responsible for things like detecting door positions and sending signals for safe operation. Find the right elevator sensor or switch to keep your lift running from top brands including Henning, Kone, Schmersal, and Carlo Gavazzi.
What are Elevator Sensors and Switches?
Elevator sensors and elevator switches are safety and control components in elevator systems. These elevator parts work together to help lifts operate safely and efficiently, but they do different jobs.
Our quality sensors for elevators detect something, like whether the doors are open or closed, or if the lift has reached the right floor. Elevator switches respond to movement or pressure and send signals to the control system to start or stop certain actions. Switches are at the top and bottom of the lift shaft, and they will cut power to the motor if the elevator car exceeds its normal travel range.
Limit, Voltage, and Brake Switches
An elevator limit switch helps the lift stop at the right floor. The elevator voltage switch manages electrical flow, helping protect the system from power issues. An elevator brake switch controls the braking system, making sure the lift stops safely when needed.
Each one has a specific job, but they all help with safety and control. Find your next elevator limit switch or shop our collection of brake switches to find what you’re looking for. Find trusted parts to replace worn-out switches and keep your elevator system working the way it should.
Key, Magnetic, and Micro Switches
These lift switches help control how and when different parts of the elevator work. An elevator key switch locks or enables certain functions, like putting the lift into service mode. An elevator magnetic switch uses magnetic force to detect door positions or other movements without physical contact. The elevator micro switch responds to small shifts or pressure changes, often used in safety or control circuits.
Over time, these parts can wear out or stop responding properly. We stock a full range of replacements. Shop for key, magnetic, and micro switch parts to quickly swap out what’s broken.
Sensors & Load Sensors
Sensors help elevators respond to what’s happening in real time. A standard elevator sensor might detect door position or car location, while an elevator overload sensor checks the weight inside the lift to make sure it’s not carrying too much. These parts help prevent damage or downtime. If a sensor isn’t working right, the system might not respond.

Elevator Contact Bridges
Elevator contact bridges are safety components that make sure elevator doors are closed and locked before allowing the elevator to move. Lifts use them to prevent accidents and maintain safe operations. A worn or broken part can cause the system to misfire or stop working.
Contact bridges wear down from daily use. They can stop making connections or cause electrical issues. If your elevator is malfunctioning or not responding correctly, a worn contact bridge may be the cause. Shop for elevator contact bridges online for a quick fix that can prevent bigger problems down the line. Find replacements that match a wide range of elevator systems.
