Both Air & electrical metal housed Footswitch suitable for Industrial enviroments allowing the operator greater freedom of movement.
The air operated switch system offers enhanced safety in hazardous areas by allowing remote operation of electrical circuits. The actuator is a bellows which, when compressed moves air down the air tubing to the switch element. This compressed air then expands a bellows in the switch, which operates the electrical contacts. When used in wet environments or where electrical switching would be dangerous due to arcing, the switch and all electrical wiring can be located outside the hazardous area giving the operator total electrical isolation for the equipment. Such applications include: Battery charging rooms, laboratories, garages, or wherever explosive gases, vapours or powders may exist.
