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:
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.

Electrical Switch (replacement contact block): 20 Amp @ 125/250 VAC, SPDT, pin plunger, #6 screw terminals. Replacement for GX-Series GX500 models (SPDT models), as well as each switch for GX502 models (2 required) and GX503 (3 required). Click on the link to the right to purchase this item. | 11416 | $14.80 | n/a |
| n/a | 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 | adds $16.00 per switch to model price | 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. To order this option along with a foot switch, select this option when ordering the foot switch (“Handle Option -HA”). To order alone (with no foot switch), click on the link to the right. | -HA | $25.00 | Info Sheet |
