The Linemaster Executive foot switch

Linemaster Switch Corporation has supplied the peak of electrical foot switches to North American businesses for more than seven decades. Based in Connecticut, this manufacturer has a selection that is unmatched by any competing company, ranging from wireless and electric models to heavy-duty options. One popular solution for medical and light-to-medium-duty tasks is the Executive foot switch – which is also a frequent choice for industrial applications that involve equipment that must function in multiple directions.

With unique mechanical interlock design

A stylish foot switch that is equipped with a robust and modern-looking die-cast cover, the Executive is available in waterproof and multi-pedal models. Recommended for any user who requires a rocker-style foot pedal, the Executive includes a side-to-side actuation that allows the worker to perform two functions while, at the same time, maintaining a small footprint. Users of the Executive foot switch can rest assured that both of the circuits will not operate at the same time, because of the unique mechanical interlock design.

The Executive switch weighs only 1½ pounds and measures 1.62 by 4.28 by 4¾ inches, and the standard models have an IP20 degree of protection according to EN 60529. One version has a Single Pole Double Throw circuit design on each side, and the other has a Double Pole Double Throw circuit design on each side. Among the other major features of the unique Linemaster solution:

• Ability for the user to wire both sides Normally Open or Normally Closed
• Electrical ratings of 10 A 125-250 VAC and ½ horsepower 125-350 VAC
• IP68-rated model available
• Operation on the “rocker” principle, which means that the left side of the switch offers one function and the right side offers a second function, with a neutral (i.e., at rest) centre position
• Optional guarding for the single, twin, and triple models
• Twin, triple, quadruple, and quintuple variations available

The Executive is one of many types of foot switches that back Linemaster’s credibility as an American foot-switch leader for the 21st Century. To find the most suitable foot switch for any individual requirement, trust the Linemaster team.
