The Executive foot switch by Linemaster

For 70 years, businesses across the continent have relied on foot switches by Linemaster Switch Corporation. The Connecticut-based manufacturer has a portfolio that is unsurpassed by any other competing manufacturer, ranging from wireless and electric options to heavy-duty units. A popular option for medical and light-to-medium-duty applications is the Executive foot switch.

The Executive foot switch is also a common choice for industrial applications that involve equipment that must function in multiple directions.

With a rocker-style foot pedal

Available in waterproof and multi-pedal versions, the Executive foot switch is a stylish model that is equipped with a robust, modern-looking die-cast cover. Recommended for any customer who needs a rocker-style foot pedal, this switch has a side-to-side actuation that allows the user to perform two functions while maintaining a small footprint at the same time. Due to the unique mechanical interlock design, users of the Executive can rest assured that both of the circuits will not operate at the same time.

This foot 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, while the other has a Double Pole Double Throw circuit design on each side. Other key features of this unique option from Linemaster:

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

The Executive is one of many models of foot switches that confirm Linemaster as America’s Foot Switch Leader in the 21st Century. Trust the Linemaster team to find the most appropriate foot switch for any specific need.
