Heavy-Duty Foot Switches Without Guards (GX-Series)
The GX-Series foot switches have the same heavy-duty construction as the G-Series, but without the guard. 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).

Note: For dual-pedal models, see on the DGX500 dual-pedal home page. |

Note: Two-stage models (-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. |
*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.
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.

Double-Break Switches: Includes double-break switches instead of the standard SPDT switches. Double break contacts open and close at two separate places in the circuit. Because they make contact at two points, instead of just one, DB contacts dissipate heat more readily, providing longer switch life, enabling the switch to have improved performance in DC circuits, and typically handle higher voltages. A double break switch must be used on circuits of the same polarity. Also called “Form Z” contacts. Note: Cannot be used on GX504 models. Rated 15A @ 125/250 VAC, 1A @ 125 VDC, 0.5A @ 250 VDC. Order as G500-MO-DB, etc. Add "-DB" to the end of the model number to order. |
-DB | add $16.00 per switch | Info Sheet |
n/a | Handle (single units only): Makes it easy to pick up and move around the unit. Can be added to any G or GX series except for G700. Note: This option is not UL marked. Add "-HA" to the end of any model number to order. | -HA | $25.00 | Info Sheet |
