Products & services

Main Switch D-Series
A manually operated main switch must be provided for each mains feed in order to disconnect the machine‘s electrical equipment from the mains (e.g. when work on the electrical equipment is to be done). • Designed as a circuit breaker as per EN 60947-3 for category of use AC-23B • Manually operable with just one On and one Off position, which are clearly marked 0 and I • Can be locked in the Off position, e.g. with padlocks

Main Switch S-Series - Protection against automatic restart after power failure and voltage recovery ELEKTRA main switch of the S-Series with undervoltage trip
ELEKTRA main switches of the S-Series with undervoltage release comply with this requirement owing to an undervoltage release coil which, after power failure, makes the switch jump back to the ”off“ position by means of a mechanism. If the voltage has not been applied, the switch does not click. As an example, the functional diagram showing the incorporation of the emergency off push button (NC contact) and PTC temperature feeler (NC contact) into the control circuit. The coil trips the main switch if the control circuit is interrupted.

Motor Protection Switch
Switches that are used for switching AND for protection. Our motor protection switches protect the motor - depending on the design - in case of overload, short circuit and failure of a phase conductor.

Cam Switch VN-Series
VN-Series cam switches are manually operated cam switches suitable for an extremely wide range of uses and with practically unlimited switching possibilities. The cam switch‘s base unit forms the contact chamber with the cam wheel for function control. Each chamber contains 2 double break contacts, with the moving contact bridges being controlled by the cam wheel via the contact slides. The opening of the contacts happens positively. VN switches can therefore be universally used and can be built as control switches, instrument switches, motor switches or main switches. The VN-Series includes a range of different sizes. The VN-Series cam switches have been developed, made and tested in accordance with the relevant national and international regulations.

Safety foot-operated switch
With contact point and rotary knob release. On-off switch, 3 poles – key switching, with emergency-stop IP65, AC-15, 6 A, 230 V, 2 pulse contacts, 2 holding contacts. In an emergency situation, the pedal can move from the normal on position – over a pressure point – to a second, latching STOP switch position. Only after manual reset (rotary knob release) a restart is possible.
