A neutral safety switch, also called inhibitor switch, is a safety device used in automobiles that are equipped with an automatic transmission. Automotive neutral safety switch is a switch that is connected with an ignition switch throughout the combustion cycle.
The purpose of the neutral safety switch is to prevent the engine from cranking or and possibly starting, when the transmission is in gear. A properly functioning neutral safety switch will only allow the engine to crank and start if the shifter lever is in the park or neutral position.
The major driving factor of neutral safety switch market is automotive industry, such as neutral safety switches are used in various automobiles like cars, trucks buses, bikes and in many vehicles. Another major driving factor is hydraulic automatic transmission, this system works on the fluid coupling, not on the frictional clutch. The other diving factors of neutral safety switch are dual clutch transmission vehicles, planetary gear trains and torque converters.
There are some restraining factors of neutral safety switch such as, engine does not crank over when shifter is in the park position. If the engine does not crank when the transmission is in park but does crank when the shifter is in neutral, the shifter cable is damaged, loose or misadjusted.
If the engine cranks when the transmission is in gear - the neutral safety switch is not working and must be replaced.There are some opportunities of the neutral safety switch such as, this switches can be used in the parking pawls, forklifts and lawn movers. There are some latest trends of neutral safety switch such as, neutral start safety switch, neutral reverse micro switch and back up neutral safety.
