Corrosion-Resistant Washdown Pendant Switches
Control cranes and other mobile machinery in dirty, outdoor, and wet environments without damaging your switch. The plastic housing is rated NEMA 4X to protect the switch interior from dust, sprayed water, and ice. They are also rated NEMA 12 for keeping out oil and other liquid drips. All of these switches can be wired to prevent two buttons from operating at the same time.
Two-speed switches have staged contacts. For slow speed, press the button halfway down to close the first contact. For high speed, push it all the way to close the second contact.
Use labels to replace worn stickers or change the function of a button. Packs include 28 commonly used functions, such as up, down, start, and stop.

Easy-Grip Pendant Switches
With a slim shape, these switches fit comfortably in your hand. Use them with mobile machinery such as cranes, hoists, and trolleys.
Style C can be wired to prevent both buttons from operating simultaneously.
Two-speed switches have staged contacts. When you push the button, it will first actuate the slow speed. Continue to push for the additional speed to be actuated.
Switches with mechanical interlock prevent both buttons from operating simultaneously.
NEMA 4X rated switches protect against corrosion.
