Trigger Switch

The trigger switch features a high current rating (up to 10 amps) with 50,000 electrical and mechanical cycles. Choose single or two-position circuits with various forces. Positive detent action confirms actuation for safer operation, and the button is available in red or black.

High-quality industrial metal cutting tool for manufacturing applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Select series use Guardian’s patented Triplex circuitry—three redundant switching circuits—with simplex/duplex options for critical or fail-safe applications.

Depends on series: up to 1.8 million cycles (thumbwheel), 1,000,000 cycles (pushbutton Triplex), and 50,000 cycles on several trigger/rocker variants.

Yes. Models include moisture-proof/dust-tight rockers and moisture-resistant/dust-tight MS-qualified 4-way switches for rugged environments.

Multiple power ratings across families; circuit options include SPST/SPDT (slide) and SPDT/DPDT (rocker). High-current options include trigger switches up to 10 A.

Yes. Several series support grip or panel integration, including multi-function display use (e.g., linear transducer; 5-way mini).
