This Linemaster OHASAB-10K Varior foot switch is a 15 amp 125-250V, 1/2 HP, 2W, 10,000 Ohm potentiometer with steel housing, heel rest, and 25' cord for use in applications in which users need hands-free, on-and-off power activation. The foot switch provides variable control, momentary operation for quick-release termination and has a spring-release pedal and heel rest for comfort and safety. It has a steel housing with electro-coated finish for durability and resistance to corrosion and bolt holes for mounting to the floor or equipment. This foot switch has a 25'cable with plug for compatibility with Lincoln food service equipment. This foot switch meets Canadian and United States Underwriters Laboratories (UL) standards for quality assurance. It has an Ingress Protection (IP) rating of 20 for protection against small amounts of dripping water and access with a finger, and it is compliant with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive. This momentary operation potentiometer is suitable for the food service industry, among others.

Foot switches are used to turn on and off electrical devices and may also provide control over the device's speed and mode of operation. They come with up to three pedals and can have a maintained, momentary, variable, or anti-trip switch action. For maintained action switches, one press of the pedal controls the power, whereas momentary action switches require constant pressure on the pedal for power. Variable action switches (also called foot potentiometers) function similarly to momentary action switches, but also provide control over the connected device's operating speed. Anti-trip action switches require users to release a safety latch before pressing down for momentary action. Foot switches vary in their contact specifications, amp ratings, plugs and receptacles, and material construction to suit different applications, device amperages, plug configurations, and environments. Foot switches are commonly used with power tools, sewing machines, musical instruments, dental equipment, and lighting, and in the construction, laboratory, production, and medical fields, among others.
Linemaster Switch Company manufactures electromechanical, pneumatic, digital, linear Hall effect, and wireless foot switches for use in the industrial, medical, computer, and musical fields, among others.
