Herga Technology footswitches gain variable output option
Herga Technology is adding a variable output option on two of its most popular standard range footswitches - the 6227 and 6228 series. Aimed at motor speed control or variable position/pressure/torque control for manually operated industrial or office/domestic equipment, the option includes a non-contacting Hall Effect sensor for maximum life with a 0...5V DC output that is proportional to the spring-returned pedal position. Based on the well-established switched versions of the 622x series, the variable output 6227 and 6228 models respectively include IPX2 or IPX7/8 protection. The robust and durable footswitches feature a low profile, rear hinged design with a raised tread pattern and an anti-slip pad for maximum comfort.
Like their switched counterparts in the 622x series the new variable output options are available in a choice of base configurations with screw fixing, feet or anti-slip neoprene pad options. The moulded thermoplastic construction accommodates a wide choice of cover and base colour options, and customer logos can be included on request.
Through the switched versions of the 622x series, users can choose single & double pole switching in a choice of AC and DC voltage options as well as a USB option that is pre-programmed for the customer's keystroke requirements. EN 60601 medically approved 6225, 6226 series variants are also available. General specifications for these compact and durable footswitches include an operational temperature range of -20degC to +80degC and all versions can be supplied with numerous cable options. For added protection single and dual protective guard options are available throughout the range.
The 6227 series is also available as part of Herga's recently introduced Modular Base System that offers OEMs, end users and machine builders an attractive and ergonomic footswitch option by combining many lines of field proven footswitches and puck switches together with safety and functional accessories such as guards, lift bars, base plates and handles.
