Linemaster Hercules 532-SWH Heavy Duty Foot Switch, Cast Iron, DPDT, Shielded, 20A 125-250VAC

Linemaster Hercules 532-SWH Heavy Duty Foot Switch, Cast Iron, DPDT, Shielded, 20A 125-250VAC

Condition: Used. Good used condition.

The Linemaster Hercules 532-SWH is a rugged, industrial-grade momentary foot switch built for harsh environments and high electrical loads. Designed with a cast iron housing, this unit is drip-tight, dust-tight, watertight, and oil-tight, making it an ideal control interface for equipment exposed to contaminants, moisture, or heavy mechanical abuse. The DPDT switch configuration allows for versatile circuitry, such as reversing motors or dual-control functions, and it includes a full shield guard to prevent accidental activation.
