Plunger Actuator—Plunger actuators open or close circuits when objects push against them.

Roller Plunger Actuator—Roller plunger actuators open or close circuits when an object pushes against the roller, which moves the plunger. The roller moves parallel to the mounting direction, so it helps push the plunger even if the force isn’t straight on. The roller also reduces friction during actuation which prevents wear and tear over time.

Roller Lever Actuator—Roller lever actuators open or close circuits when material moves across the switch. The roller reduces friction during actuation which prevents wear and tear over time.

Rod Actuator—Rod actuators open or close circuits when material pushes against the rod. The rod extends from the body of the actuator, so these switches are ideal when objects actuating the switch are further away.

Plunger Actuator—Switches with a plunger actuator require a push to actuate, similar to a button.

Roller Lever Actuator Style—Switches with a roller lever actuator combine the larger actuation area of a standard lever with a smooth gliding roller actuator. They minimize friction to limit wear and tear on your switch.

Roller Plunger Actuator—Switches with a roller plunger actuator have a roller that moves parallel to the body length when an object pushes the actuator. This reduces friction to limit wear and tear on your switch.

With 4-Pole Micro M12 Plug—Switches with a 4-pole micro M12 plug quickly connect and disconnect from your switch.

Styles B-F—Style A-G switches have positive-force, normally closed contacts that will open a circuit when the switch is actuated even if a spring fails or the contacts stick.

Style J—Style J switches have extra safety controls to prevent you from getting trapped next to running machinery. They actuate with the turn of a portable key. Bring the key when you enter an enclosure to ensure machinery won’t start while you’re inside, even if the door closes behind you. As an added fail-safe, a rear release button lets you cut power from inside of enclosures if needed. These switches have light-up indicators that show when they're properly installed and whether they're actuated.

IP67 Enclosure Rating—IP67 rated switches protect against temporary submersion.

NEMA 6 Enclosure Rating—NEMA 6 rated switches protect against both temporary submersion and washdowns.

Key Included—All switches require an actuator key, but not all include one—check whether you need to pick out a separate actuator key. For some switch styles, you can also select the mounting orientation of the key.
