Linemaster air foot switches: Ultimate protection for electric components in any environment

Air foot switches are available from Linemaster.

Linemaster Switch Corporation is a leading manufacturer of electrical foot switches, and its selection includes three types of air foot switches. These solutions protect important electric components in any environment, wet or dry. A major advantage is isolation of the electrically live snap switch from the floor, which provides environmental protection.

With twin versions and full twin guards available, these air foot switches have long lifespans and function in a variety of scenarios.

Dependable in many environments

For applications needing full guarding of the foot-switch pedal, certain models will mount in the Linemaster Full Guard 522-B14. A foot-operated air bulb connected to a remote air-operated electric snap switch is available in maintained or momentary models, with an SPDT snap switch; the air bulb comes in optional metal housing. Ten-foot PVC tubing with a 1/8-inch inner diameter connects the foot pedal to the remote air switch, which has a 9/16-inch NF bulkhead mount. The tubing is connected at the foot-switch end for high pull-out protection.

Other features of these air foot switches:

• bulkhead mounting provisions on remote switch;
• compliance with UL and IP standards and EN60529;
• dependable function in many environments;
• operation point in middle of bulb cover;
• optional medical-grade tubing;
• Premier and Dolphin models on request;
• reinforced or non-reinforced tubing available; and
• wide range of operating temperatures.

The Air-Seal, Vanguard, and Handbulb make up three designs of the air foot switches available from Linemaster. The Air-Seal weighs ½ a pound, measures 2.74 by 1.28 by 2.88 inches, provides long, trouble-free life, and is available with black tubing. With strong steel housing, this model has two holes for rigid mounting to floors, machinery, or protective guards. Heavy gauge steel guards and an awareness cover are available upon request.
