Safety Foot Switch
Extensive accident prevention research has shown that in the
event of pain/distress, the foot is frequently not removed
from the foot pedal that is enabling equipment operation.
Paradoxically, weight is often shifted forward and 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 springdriven
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.
