Control foot-switch SCHMERSAL

Food switches are mounted on machines and plants in cases where operation using the hands is not possible. They are used to start and stop operations and production processes.
Depending on the environmental conditions and mechanical duty, differing versions of food switches are used. The robust GF and GFS range switches are generally used in the engineering industry, e.g. on presses, punching and bending machines as well as in sheet-steel processing. Applications for the plastic KF range switches include use on laboratory apparatus, in the electro-medical area and on textile machinery.

Design and mode of operation:
All the foot switches are available in versions with multible pedals. GFS range switches are mounted with a shield to protect against unintentional actuation. GF and GFS range switches are mounted with slow or snap action or Hall sensors. GF-Ex and GFS-Ex range switches are EEx approved under the Certificate of Conformity PTB Ex-89.C.1051. The Ex 13 contact block carries the designation EEx d IIC T6.
