APPLICATIONS
IH Switch
This rugged switch is designed to
be subjected to a repetitive jogging
in harsh environments. The IHS is
recommended for applications
where the switch is often activated.
For example, in applications where
positioning the load is critical:
material handling, loaders, lifts
trucks, buckets and shovels …
IH Linear
This rugged switch is intended for
applications where a simple On /Off
control is not sufficient and where a
linear output is preferable. Typical
use of IHL: applications where
operators need to control motion
and speed. This switch is ideal for
control valves or variable speed
drives and can be used in various
applications including industrial
controls, heavy duty equipment and
handling.
