explosion proof foot switches

One of Linemaster's industrial explosion-proof units

Linemaster Switch Corporation offers a range of foot-switch options unmatched by any other North American manufacturer. For hazardous work environments, the company makes several models of explosion proof foot switches, which share many common features and traits. All of them are designed to operate and withstand abuse in rough working conditions.

Two main groups of these foot switches are available: one for general industrial applications, and one for the medical sector.

Non-sparking cast aluminum housing

Both types of explosion proof foot switches have non-sparking cast aluminum housing and are available in single- or twin-pedal models to suit different user requirements. Each two-pedal version comes with a divider bar between the pedals, to prevent accidental operation of both pedals at once.

The industrial group comes in six models – three in the 500 series, three in the 600 series. The most robust explosion-proof switches on the market, these units are very popular in various applications that require durability in harsh environments. Each has an aluminum foot guard for extra protection, with an integral base plate painted alert orange, plus an integral handle for easy transport. Each model also has a ¾-inch (14 NPT) threaded rigid metal conduit entry and mounting provisions in the base plate.

The industrial 500 series offers a splash-resistant solution in the field, but Linemaster also offers waterproof models in the 600 series. The 500 series has an IP41 rating, while the 600 series is IP68-rated.

Available in four models, the medical explosion proof foot switches are aesthetically appealing units equipped with aluminum base plates with nonskid conductive rubber base pads, along with integral handles. These black, high-quality switches last long and can be manoeuvred easily, but also have enough weight to prevent them from sliding around.

As the industrial group does, the medical category comes in a 500 and 600 series: the former IP41-rated, the latter IP68-rated. All are pre-wired with potted mating connector MS3102R-18-4PW with a strain-relief MS-3057-10 or 10A cable clamp. Every two-pedal model is wired with an electrical interlock.

Trust Linemaster for the widest selection of foot switches.
