Switch eases public transport for the elderly
Due to the user-friendly design PTS switches can be easily operated by elderly and handicapped people.
Mains switches boast robust design
Schurter has entered the mains switching market with its rugged new MSM switch.
The PSE HI range of high impact piezo switches from Schurter are designed specifically for these applications.
Piezo switches do not feature any of the moving parts found in mechanical switches, and so even under continuous operation there is no risk of loss of functionality due to wear.
In laboratory tests, a life expectancy of over 20 million actuations has been achieved, which makes the new switches virtually service free.
The PSE HI features enhanced vandal-proof protection.
The innovative and patented construction of the switch offers a higher impact resistance of IK06 to DIN EN50102 specifications.
These completely sealed switches feature fully encapsulated electronics within the housing.
This ensures that neither fluids nor dust can penetrate inside the switch.
The switch meets IP67 specifications.
The PSE HI switches are part of the Schurter Metal Line product family, and are available with mounting diameters of 22 and 27mm.
Both the actuating surface and the body of the switches are made from high-grade stainless steel.
The use of this robust material makes these switches particularly well suited for outdoor applications and rough environments.
Various standard typefaces are available for in-house laser engraving of the actuating surface.
