Foot Switch Contact Block for Foot Switch

Metal housed footswitches, with or without protective guard cover. The guarded cover types are strongly recommended in high risk areas where accidental starting of the machine, either by human action or falling objects can occur. Footswitches featuring 2 step contact operation are ideal for applications involving 2 speed machines. The first step (6mm travel) operates one set of NC + NO contacts before the second step operates the other NC + NO contacts during full actuator travel (12mm). The trigger action types enable locking of the pedal in rest position, positive action is required before the pedal can be depressed.

Available with or without trigger mechanism in 1 or 2 step configurations
Large surface area of pedal assures stability of foot and operator comfort
High and wide protective cover accommodates both large size and safety boots
Can be fixed to the floor or on a support for improved stability
Blue IP66 metal housing
