Enhancing Footswitch Control with the Puck Switch

Introduction In demanding environments where precision and durability are crucial, the Puck Switch stands out as a reliable enhancement to footswitch systems. Designed as an add-on rather than a standalone switch, the Puck Switch improves usability and control, particularly in medical, industrial, and laboratory applications.

Key Features The Puck Switch is engineered for high mechanical stability, ensuring long-term reliability even under frequent use. Its robust construction includes:

• Haptic Feedback: Provides an audible “click” when pressed, allowing users to confirm activation without visual verification.
• Easy Maintenance: The smooth surface makes it simple to clean, an essential feature in sterile and high-precision environments.
• Medical-Grade Design: Manufactured with UL-approved materials, the switch adheres to medical standards, making it ideal for healthcare applications.
• Environmental Protection: The IP67 sealing ensures protection against dust and moisture, enhancing its longevity.

Applications The Puck Switch is an excellent addition to Herga’s modular footswitch range and can be integrated into various external systems. Its design makes it suitable for:

• Medical Equipment: Used in surgical and diagnostic devices where precise foot control is needed.
• Industrial Machinery: Enhances the reliability of foot-operated controls in manufacturing and automation.
• Laboratory Devices: Supports precision control in research and testing environments.

Technical Specifications

• Electrical Rating: 0.1A at 125/250V AC, 0.1A at 30V DC
• Contact Configuration: SPDT/DPDT
• Action Type: Momentary
• Operating Temperature: -10°C to +60°C
• Material: Acetal copolymer body with PVC bellows
• Mechanical Life: 1 million cycles (dependent on application)

Installation Instructions

1. Ensure the footswitch system is powered off before installation.
2. Align the Puck Switch with the designated mounting location.
3. Secure the switch using the appropriate fasteners without over-tightening.
4. Connect the electrical wiring according to the SPDT/DPDT configuration.
5. Verify the installation by pressing the switch and confirming the audible click.
6. Power on the system and test functionality before full operation.

Maintenance Guidelines

• Regularly inspect the switch for any signs of wear or contamination.
• Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals.
• Ensure that the sealing remains intact to maintain IP67 protection.
• If performance issues arise, check the wiring connections and contact points.
• Replace the switch if excessive mechanical wear is observed.
