RAFIX 16 Series, Configurable Switch Components - Body

Configurable switches are electromechanical systems that offer users the ability to customize and assemble a switch according to their specific needs. These switches consist of modular components, including the body, actuating mechanism, mounting means, illumination mechanism (if present), and more. Configurable switches are particularly well-suited for industrial control applications. The body component of a configurable switch serves as the foundation for the system and typically houses the actuating mechanism of the device. It also provides the means by which an assembled unit is mounted mechanically in the end application. In some cases, an illumination mechanism may also be incorporated into the body component. The actuator surface, which is the surface with which the user interacts, is often included as part of the body component but may also be sold separately. This allows users to select the type of actuator they prefer, such as a push button, toggle switch, rotary switch, or key switch. Configurable switches are highly adaptable and can be customized for a wide range of industrial control applications. The modular design allows users to select the components that best meet their requirements, enabling them to create a tailored switch solution. This flexibility makes configurable switches suitable for a variety of applications, such as machine control, process control, and automation. Furthermore, configurable switches are designed to withstand harsh industrial environments, making them durable and reliable. They meet industry standards for protection against dust, water, and other environmental factors, ensuring that they operate safely and effectively in demanding conditions. In conclusion, configurable switches are modular electromechanical switch systems that allow users to customize and assemble a switch according to their specific needs. The body component of these switches houses the actuating mechanism and provides the means for mounting the assembled unit in the end application. Configurable switches are highly adaptable and suitable for a wide range of industrial control applications, offering users the flexibility and durability they need to operate effectively in demanding environments.
