Metal Footswitches

As a footswitch specialist we can guarantee that we have a footswitch to fit every need. Our footswitches are available in various materials.

We have a range of metal footswitches which are suitable for a whole host of environments and applications.

Our metal footswitches are constructed of either die-cast aluminum, stainless steel or mild steel depending on the type selected. This ensures they are tough and versatile. They offer long life and IP protection ratings.

Why choose a metal footswitch?

All of our footswitches offer long life and are highly durable. However our metal footswitches are often preferred in certain applications. This could be because they are often thought of as stronger and even more durable. They are also heavy weight which may be required in specific areas. 

The environment of an application might also play a part in choosing which material to choose. Again, this comes down to the durability of the materials.

However, a metal footswitch isn’t always the best choice. We also have a range of highly durable plastic industrial footswitches. These are strong and robust like our metal footswitches but have the benefit of also being lightweight.
