FS series foot switches
Large foot switches for mechanical and plant engineering
The FS series are large foot switches which, thanks to a highly robust cast aluminum alloy, prove their worth in machine and plant construction and heavy industry.
The foot switches are stable, compact and extremely versatile! One or two switch inserts can be used with a creep or snap-action mechanism as a push-button switch, as a sequential switch with a pressure point or with a latching function. Potentiometers are also available. Additional protection is provided on request by a locking pawl, an accident protection cover made of cast aluminum alloy and a pedal interlock. Protection class IP 65 in accordance with IEC/EN 60529 is also provided.
Options
for the FS series foot switches
Pressure point
The pressure point can be used to realize a 2-stage shift. The following forces are available: 60N; 150N; 200N. See glossary for more details.
Anti-trip
The pedal of the foot control can only be operated if the locking pawl is first pressed back with the tip of the foot When the pedal is released, the locking pawl automatically straightens up again. See glossary for more details.

Pedal cover
The pedal of the foot control can only be operated if the pedal cover is first lifted with the tip of the foot. When the foot is pulled back from the pedal, the pedal cover falls back onto the pedal. See glossary for more details.
Potentiometer
For outputting an ohmic value (e.g. 0 - 10 KOhm). See glossary for more details.
Analog output
For outputting an analog value (0 - 10V or 0 - 20mA). See glossary for more details.
USB
A footswitch with USB connection enables simple execution of keyboard commands. See glossary for more details.
