    Vibration-Resistant 22 mm Panel-Mount Lever Switches

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Lever Switches. Vibration-Resistant 22 mm Panel-Mount Lever Switches.
    Prevent accidental actuation from bumps—these switches require you to grip and twist the lever to turn the switch. The contact block and actuator are all one piece, so they won’t separate in high-vibration applications. Install them in a standard panel cutout.

    Panel-Mount Set-to-the-Minute Time and Day Activated Switches

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Timer Switches. Panel-Mount Set-to-the-Minute Time and Day Activated Switches, 7-Day Timing Cycle, 2 Circuits Controlled.

    7-Day Timing

    Cycle, 2 Circuits

    Controlled

    Install these switches in a panel cutout. More precise than other time and day switches, they program on/off times for equipment down to the exact minute. The seven-day timing cycle can perform a different program each day of the week. All have an override to bypass the programmed on/off settings. A backup battery maintains the program during a power outage.
    2 Circuits Controlled—Two-circuit switches can apply a different program to each circuit.

    Surface/DIN-Rail Mount Set-to-the-Minute Time and Day Activated Switches

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Timer Switches. Surface/DIN-Rail Mount Set-to-the-Minute Time and Day Activated Switches, 24-Hr. Timing Cycle.

    24-Hr. Timing Cycle

    Mount these switches to a flat surface or attach to DIN rail. More precise than other time and day switches, they program on/off times for equipment down to the exact minute. All have an override to bypass the programmed on/off settings. A backup battery maintains the program during a power outage.
    24-Hr. Timing Cycle—24-hour switches repeat the same program daily. They control two circuits and can apply a different program to each circuit.

    30 mm Panel-Mount Push-Button-Actuator Emergency Stop Switches

    Immediately cut power with a single push. These switches are rated for protection from low-pressure streams of water and oil/coolant spraying. They have positive force contacts that will open a circuit when actuated even if a spring fails or the contacts stick. Mount them in a standard panel cutout.

    Pull Reset

    Illuminated switches are visible in low light. They include a bulb. If wiring the switch and the bulb to the same circuit, the circuit voltage must not exceed bulb voltage.
    Pull Reset—Turn pull switches back on by pulling the button.
