Description: Extensive accident prevention has shown that in the event of pain/distres, the foot is frequently not removed from the foot pedal that is enabling equipment operation. Paradoxically, weight is often shifted forwardand pressure on the foot pedal is increased (rather than removed).

Recognizing this, the series GFS safety foot switch features 3-stage operation. It is designed to stop hazardous movements in machinery whether released or fully-depressed in an emergency situation.

It's positive-break, normally-closed contacts provide a significantly higher level of safety than conventional spring-driven contacts which can weld/stick shut. Their glass-fiber reinforced pedal and aluminum protective shield make them ideal for heavy-duty applications in hostile environments.
