Selector Switches
Pilot devices provide control and condition monitoring of different types of processes, equipment and machinery in industrial and commercial applications. They are used for communication from a machine to an operator or from an operator to a machine. Pilot devices can be an audio or visual indicator, or an actuator that is used to control the flow of energy to a process. Visual indicators are: pilot lights, signal towers, strobes and beacons. Audio indictors are: buzzers and sounder horns. Actuators are: push buttons, selector switches, toggle switches and potentiometers.
Selector switches are devices that have a handle that can be rotated in two, three or more positions. As the handle rotates, a plunger is pushed inward to make or break contacts that are mounted on the back. Selector switches can be used to switch a process on or off, switch from low speed to high speed, switch from auto to manual and many more depending on the application. Selector switches come in a wide variety of colors, shapes and materials. The mounting diameter can be between 16mm to 30mm and are generally either plastic or metal. Key-operated selector switches are used for safety-related applications. The key can be removed in various positions. Once the key is removed, no other action can be performed.
