An explosion-proof foot switch by Linemaster, for industrial applications

With a selection of foot switches unsurpassed by any other manufacturer across the continent, Linemaster Switch Corporation delivers on many needs – including hazardous work conditions. The company makes several types of explosion-proof foot switches that share many common traits and features. Each one is designed to function and withstand abuse in tough work environments. Linemaster offers two main groups of these foot switches, one for the medical field, and one for general industrial applications.

Single or twin-pedal models

Both families of explosion-proof foot switches have non-sparking aluminum housing and come in single- or twin-pedal models to match varying customer needs. All two-pedal switches have divider bars between their pedals, to stop the accidental pressing of both at the same time.

The industrial group comprises the most robust explosion-proof switches available today. Available in six models, three in the 500 series and three in the 600 series, these units are very popular for different applications in which durability is necessary in challenging environments. Each has an aluminum foot guard for added protection, with an integral base plate painted alert orange, and an integral handle for simple transport. Every model also has a ¾-inch (14 NPT) threaded rigid metal conduit entry and mounting provisions in the base plate.

The industrial 500 series is a splash-resistant solution in the field, but Linemaster also manufactures waterproof models in the 600 series. The former series has an IP41 rating, and the latter one is IP68-rated.

The medical explosion-proof foot switches are aesthetically appealing products equipped with aluminum base plates with nonskid conductive rubber base pads, as well as integral handles. These black, high-quality options are long-lasting and can be manoeuvred easily, while also being heavy enough to stop themselves from sliding around.

Similar to the industrial category, the medical foot-switch group is available to customers in a 500 and 600 series, the former series being IP41-rated and the latter series being IP68-rated. Each of these models is pre-wired with potted mating connector MS3102R-18-4PW, with a strain-relief MS-3057-10 or 10A cable clamp. Every two-pedal switch is wired with an electrical interlock.
