SSC G-Series (With Guard)

Designed for tough industrial and shop environments, the G-Series heavy duty foot switch features precise switching action, rugged die-cast aluminum construction that will not rust or break when dropped, a water / dust / oil / splash-tight enclosure, precise foot pedal action, and an oversized guard.  These foot switches make it easy to turn electrical equipment on and off with the foot, freeing the hands to perform other operations or providing ergonomic improvement to a workstation.  Ideal for factory, shop, metalworking, iron workers, resistance welding, spot welding, man or boom lifts, pipe rollers, food processing, riveting, bending, hand tools, and many more applications.

Design features:

  • Oversized guard opening (5.5” high, 6.2″ wide) for easy foot entrance.
  • High-capacity 20-amp Honeywell Microswitch® or Omron® switches.
  • Water / dust / oil / splash-resistant enclosure.
  • Suitable for harsh, wet environments when properly connected.
  • Tough die-cast aluminum construction will not rust or break when dropped.
  • Side cover flaps add extra protection of pedal lever and shaft from oil, solvents, and water.
  • Highly durable base with 5 mounting holes.
  • 3/4″-14 N.P.T. threaded conduit entry for cable in back.
  • Powder-painted Safety Orange with 3M® bumper feet.
  • Available with 3 pedal action types: Momentary, Maintained, and Anti-Trip (see below).
  • Two-stage models (“-2S”) have an additional force added in between activation of each switch.
  • UL/CSA/NEMA Enclosure Type 2, 4, & 13. IEC enclosure rating IP56.
  • Size (exterior dimensions): 9.2″ L x 6.2″ W x 5.5″ H
  • UL Listed and CSA Certified.

Quality features:

  • Designed and manufactured under an ISO 9001 certified quality system.
  • Made in USA.

Notes on Foot Switch Action:

  • Momentary Action: Press and hold to turn on, release to turn off (like a car horn).
  • Maintained Action: Press down on pedal to turn it on; the unit will stay on until the user presses forward a latch inside the hood to release it back to the “off” position (like a light switch).
  • Anti-Trip Action: The user must press forward a safety latch inside the hood before pressing down on the pedal to turn it on. These units then have a momentary action; the user must keep the pedal pressed down in order to keep it on.

Also, two-stage models (models that end in “-2S”) have an additional force added in between the activation of each switch, allowing the user to distinguish between the first and second switches as the pedal is pressed down.

Information regarding G503 Three Switch Models:

Includes three switches (each SPDT) inside each unit.  Switches can be adjusted to activate separately or at the same time.

Information regarding G504 Four Circuit Models:

Ideal for controlling up to four independent circuits, or for switching the circuits operating on different voltages.  Each foot switch contains two DPDT switches (with two circuits per switch).  The switches can be adjusted to activate separately or at the same time.  Note: There is no Double-Break (Form Z) substitute available for the G504.
