Joystick Switches
Assemble a complete switch with an actuator and at least one contact block (sold separately). All actuators include a mounting clip that can fit up to two contact blocks. They’re rated NEMA 4X, 13, and IP66 for protection from corrosion, washdowns, and oil/coolant spraying.
Two-position actuators require one to four contact blocks.
Four-position actuators require two to four contact blocks. They are off in the center position.
Optional mounting clips accept up to four contact blocks.
