SAFETY FOOT SWITCH
Application
Safety foot switches are mounted on machines and plants as enabling switches in cases where operation using the hands is not possible and an emergency-stop function in case of an hazardous situation is required.
Design and mode of operation
All safety foot switches are mounted with a shield to protect against unintentional actuation.
When the foot pedal is actuated to as far as pressure point, the NO contact is closed. If, in case of danger, the pedal is actuated beyond the pressure point, then the positive break NC contact is opened and mechani-cally locked.
Reset operation is carried out by means of a push button. During the reset operation, the switch does not move through the switching-on point.
The safety foot switches conform to protection class IP 65. All safety foot switches bear the CE mark according to the Machinery Directive.
SINGLE FOOT SWITCHES
Application
Foot switches are used to start and stop operations and production processes on machinery and plants, where actuation by hand is impossible.
Depending on the environmental conditions and the mechanical duty, different versions of foot switches are available.
Applications include use on packaging machines, in the storage and conveyor technology, as well as on textile machinery.
Design and mode of operation:
The foot switches are available in versions with multiple pedals. The switches are mounted with a shield to protect against unintentional actuation. All foot switches are equipped with slow or snap action contacts.
Different versions are available with pressure point, potentiometer, Hall sensor and latching element. Foot rests, carrying handle and pedal covers are also available.
The foot switches bear the CE mark according to the Low Voltage Directive.
