APEM, Inc. Announces New 13000 Series Sealed Pushbutton Switches Ideal for Controls on Material Handling Applications
VISTA, CALIFORNIA -- APEM, Inc., a leading global manufacturer of high quality man-machine interface products, announces its new 13000 series of sealed, momentary pushbutton switches designed for high performance applications in material handling markets. Ideal for applications that require robust construction and reliability, the 13000 series is the perfect choice for wireless remote controls and hand-held crane controls. Featuring a low, behind-the-panel profile and an anodized actuator, the 13000 series has a heavy-duty double shell casing and is available in multiple colors.
The 13000 series push/pull switch maintains the down position when activated and an upward pull force to de-activate, requiring approximately 5 pounds of force in both directions. Featuring gold-plated, solid silver contacts, the 13000 push/pull switch comes fully sealed to IP67, with a state-of-the-art O-ring and sealing washer and epoxy-sealed terminals, protecting against water and dust. The switch bushing and hardware are available in black chrome-plated with the actuator dome in red anodized aluminum.
Panel seals withstand 1 bar pressure and remain sealed even when the switch is operated. Reinforced sealing is also available. The switch’s low profile construction makes it ideal for applications where behind-the-panel space is limited. Switch contacts are rated for low level switching and for resistive loads of up to 4 Amps at 24 volts of direct current (VDC).
