Potentiometer control foot-switch Linemaster

The Varior Potentiometer foot switch was designed as a low cost foot control where a non-watertight housing is suitable. Four standard prewired 2 Watt linear models are available. The momentary models have a spring return pedal action, and the maintained models have adjustable friction pads. Maximum resistance must be specified when ordering. The foot switch has a drawn steel housing with black cover, complete with full treadle pad and nonskid base pad.

Also available in our heavy duty Hercules housing:

This foot switch is designed for use with variable speed motor drives and is available in selected 2 watt linear values. Specify the maximum resistance you want. Depressing the treadle rotates the potentiometer from zero to the selected maximum resistance shown below. By wiring to the third terminal it goes from the maximum resistance to zero. The treadle is spring loaded and returns to the normal position when the foot pressure is removed. A SPDT auxiliary switch contact rated at 15 Amps 125-250 VAC can be added to the control. The auxiliary switch will operate at the beginning of the treadle stroke. On special order, up to 3 SPDT switches can be added and adjusted for operation at any point of the treadle stroke. Details on switch size, weight, full shields and construction are the same as for the Hercules foot switches. "OX" Shield available
