Schurter expanded its Metal Design Line series MSM to include a version with non illuminated indicators. The use of color rings instead of light emitting rings reduces the cost of switches and eliminates the costs associated with connecting external power to drive leds. High quality MSM variants provide safe operation, superior tactile feedback, and highly reliable drive.
The device offers several mounting options: 16mm, 19mm, 22mm and 30mm, and has an anti rotation design. Rated 100mA at 30VDC and 5A at 125/250VAC, the switch can be easily connected with the quick connection terminal. Typical applications include the control panel of automatic machinery, medical and laboratory equipment, food processing and service equipment, and vending machines. It is very suitable for banks using similar colors or multiple color variations
The instantaneous MSM non luminous ring color (RC) switch is an extension of the company's range of non luminous metal wire buttons. The new addition provides a cheaper way for industrial designers to provide switch indication while meeting the user's unparalleled demand for tactility. The combination of visual and mechanical feedback provides a highly reliable execution function and enhances user safety. For example, the red ring color is used to represent the "stop" function and the green ring color is used to represent the "run" function, which further clarifies the intended use of the switch.
The colors of PMMA rings provide a modern look in up to seven fashionable colors. The rugged metal housing and actuator are constructed of high-grade stainless steel and provide ip67 protection from the front contact area. The switch has a UV resistance and impact resistance rating of IK07, making it resistant to outdoor exposure and use in harsh environments. The switch life is rated for 1.5 million operations.
