J.R. Merritt Controls, Inc. introduces NW Series Maintenance Switches to North American markets. These custom-designed capsulated rotary switches have been proven over decades of use under extreme environmental conditions throughout Europe. They have been utilized everywhere that a rugged, durable switch is required, from cement factory and belt drive switches to crane travel limit switches. NW Series switches meet or exceed all OSHA Lockout/Tagout requirements.
These switches are attached to electric machines or constructions to enable safe maintenance work under observance of safety rules. By hanging a padlock on the cover plate, employees are protected from unexpected machine operation. The devices are lockable in zero position with up to three padlocks or lockout tags. The NW Series is suitable for a single electric drive arrangement, for currents from 16 A to 100 A.
