FOOT SWITCHES

IN THERMOPLASTIC MATERIAL
AND ALUMINIUM DIE CAST
PS... / PD... SERIES

Applications Description of the switch

Foot switch operated machines such as: shearing machines, spinning machi- • Dimensions: 280 x 140 x138mm.
nes, spinning lathers, machine tools, wrapping machines, riveting presses, etc. • Materials:
Foot switches come in three operation formats: Standard version (IMQ approved): Base, cover and pedal made of shock
• Free movement: contact position follows pedal movement: actuated when resistant ABS material.
the pedal is pushed down, released when pedal is in state of rest. Self-extinguishing / VO (IMQ, UL, CSA approved): Base, cover and pedal
• Foot switch locked in neutral position: same operation as above, after made of Polycarbonate/ABS-V0.
unlocking the pedal with the end of the foot. Metal version / V0-M (IMQ, UL, CSA approved): Cover made in die cast
• Foot switch latched in low position: same operation as free movement, aluminium, base and pedal made of Polycarbonate/ABS-V0.
excepted that a state of rest is obtained only after having unlatched the pedal
with the end of the foot.
Colour choice
Grey base; grey, yellow or red cover
