Foot switches

New metal guard foot switches, for packaging machines such as wrappers and bundlers, are sold in three operational formats: safety anti-trip, free moving and free moving maintained. Starting at $59, the foot switches are IP65 rated, with two normally-open and two normally-closed contacts with snap-action or slow-action options. Available in single and double units, the switches are made of die-cast aluminum foot cover guards and heavy duty ABS plastic bases and pedals for durable wear.
