A protective plastic enclosure resists dents, chips, and cracks, so you can install these switches outside of panels. Mount them on a wall, for example, or tether them to a cord at your workstation. They actuate with a push for quick stops and starts. All are NEMA and IP rated to protect against corrosion, washdowns, and oil/coolant spraying. All have knockouts or integrated conduit connections to make it easy to attach conduit or add cord grips.

Flush buttons are easy to clean and difficult to damage because they mount flat.

Switches rated IP67 can also be submerged. Switches rated IP69K can also withstand high-pressure washdowns.

Also known as palm-button switches, these have a large button that makes them easy to use even while wearing gloves. They're rated NEMA 13 and IP65 for protection from oil/coolant spraying and washdowns.

Switches with positive force contacts will open a circuit when actuated even if a spring fails or the contacts stick.

Ring guards (sold separately) protect the actuator and reduce the chance of accidental actuation.

Rugged enough for mining operations, these limit switches require a high actuation force, like heavy rocks moving on a conveyor. They open and close a circuit as quickly as a snap-acting switch but have a larger actuator for larger objects. The roller on the end of the lever arm reduces friction to prevent wear and tear on the switch. Rated NEMA 4 and 13 as well as IP67, these switches are protected from dirt, oil spraying, and temporary submersion.

To determine if you need a right or left actuation direction, stand facing where you'll put the switch. If objects will be passing to the right, you'll need a right actuation direction. If they'll be passing to the left, you'll need a left actuation direction.
