Schneider Electric Foot Switch Contact Block for Foot Switch

A wide range of metal housed footswitches brought to you from Schneider Electric, ensuring you start on the right foot! They are available with or without a protective guard cover. The guarded cover types are strongly recommended in high-risk areas where accidental starting of a machine, either by human action or falling objects could occur.

• Large surface area of pedal assures stability of foot and provides operator comfort
• High and wide protective cover accommodates large sizes and safety boots
• Can be fixed to the floor or on a support for improved stability
• Approvals - U/CSA
• Schneider Electrics XPE range of industrial footswitches are robust
• A great feature of this range of foot switches is that they allow the operator greater freedom of movement
• Available with or without trigger mechanism in 1 or 2 step configurations
• The trigger mechanism types of footswitch enable locking of the pedal in rest position, positive action is required before the pedal can be depressed
• Footswitches within the XPE range that feature 2-step contact operation are ideal for applications involving 2-speed machines
• The first step (6mm travel) operates one set of NC + NO contacts before the second step operates the other NC + NO contacts during full actuator travel (12mm)

To keep your pedal-powered switches trucking along, trust this foot switch contact block from Schneider Electric. It's designed to make or break an electrical circuit when installed with a compatible switching device. This lets you stop or start connected machinery, including safety devices, in a jiffy.
