SSC GX-Series (No Guard)

Heavy Duty Foot Switch (GX Series) – Without Guard or Shield – Unguarded

The GX-Series foot switches have the same heavy-duty construction as the G-Series, but without the guard (also called no shield, foot switch without guard, or unguarded).  The design features precise switching action, rugged die-cast aluminum construction, Honeywell or Omron switches, and a water / dust / oil / splash-resistant enclosure rating (UL/CSA/NEMA Enclosure Type 2, 4, & 13).

*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 GX503 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 GX504 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.
