Switchgear that wires fast, survives daily abuse, and looks neat on doors and walls. Inserts share a consistent footprint for 22/30 mm operators and modular wall grids, so plates align even on uneven plaster. Techs get deep terminal wells, captive screws, and positive-opening NC options for safety paths. Typical electrical ratings: 250 V AC at 10/16 A for mains circuits and 24 V DC logic with gold-flash contacts for low currents. Front sealing reaches IP65–IP69K on machine operators; wall plates sit at IP20 or IP44 with gaskets where cleaning demands it.

Product range and series overview

Actuators cover momentary and maintained mechanisms, 1-pole/2-way schemes, intermediate for corridor logic, and keyed modes for restricted access. Illumination modules run 24 V DC LEDs; lenses are color-coded for quick recognition. Frames come in thermoset, ABS, and metal finishes; mounting supports Euro and UK boxes with spacer rings for shallow recesses. On cabinets, 22.3 mm and 30.5 mm cutouts are standard, with low-profile bezels for tight doors.

sick push button switches use cases and mechanics

Flat and raised heads with guard rings handle start/stop, reset, and acknowledge. Typical actuation 2–5 N with crisp rebound for gloved operation. NO/NC stacks build up to 4 contacts; gold-plated tips handle <1 mA PLC inputs cleanly. LED modules snap behind the lens—no tool changeovers on the bench.

sick rocker switches formats and wiring notes

From 1-gang 1-way to 4-gang 2-way, rockers carry daily room control. Loop-in at the switch is supported by ≥12 mm free depth behind terminals; twin conductors per pole fit without pinching insulation. Locator LEDs are low-leakage to avoid ghosting on high-impedance inputs.

sick selector switches functions and detents

Knob and key types, 2- or 3-position, maintained or spring-return. Detents are torque-rated so positions don’t drift after cleaning. Stack 2NO+2NC for permissives and interlocks; keyed versions can be ordered to common or unique codes per line.

Technical specifications and standards

Ratings & endurance: 250 V AC 10/16 A (AC-21/AC-22 guidance), micro-current to 10 mA/5 V on gold tips; mechanical life 50k–1 M cycles by mechanism.
Contacts: AgNi/AgSnO₂ for power; positive-opening NC where required.
Thermal & materials: glow-wire 650–850 °C on visible plastics; −25…+55 °C ambient (operators), −5…+40 °C (wall plates).
Ingress & impact: IP65–IP69K front on machine HMIs; IP20/IP44 on rooms; metal-front options up to IK08.
Compliance: EN/IEC 60669-1 (mechanical), 60669-2-1 (electronic), 60947-5-1 (control-circuit devices), 60947-5-5 for E-stop elements; EMC to EN 61000 series; RoHS materials.
Dimming: trailing-edge (MOSFET) and leading-edge (TRIAC) units, plus 1–10 V and DALI-2 interface modules—set a minimum level during commissioning to prevent low-end shimmer on LED drivers.

Applications and compatibility

Apartments and hotels standardize corridor logic with 2-way plus intermediate; offices mix standard circuits with scene buttons tied to gateways; classrooms use large-cap heads students actually hit; plant rooms prefer metal bezels and gasketed plates. Where specifications mention sick electrical switches on public walls and machine doors in the same project, keep finish and legend systems aligned so spares stay universal across phases. For maintenance-heavy zones, illuminated operators and engraved plates reduce hunting during night shifts.

Integration with other brand products

Boxes, glands, trunking, and label frames from the same ecosystem keep routing consistent: divider strips separate SELV from mains, compression glands match cable OD, and 360° shield clamps bond screens at the entry plate. On cabinets, operators land beside HMIs and stack-lights; feedback contacts wire into safety relays with EDM. Room loops pair cleanly with Shada luminaires specified elsewhere—document dimmer model and stable set-point in the handover pack.

Selection criteria for B2B clients

Circuit logic: 1-way, 2-way, intermediate, or maintained/momentary.
Environment: IP/IK targets, solvents, and cleaning chemistry; pick metal fronts in harsh corners.
Load: resistive, capacitive (LED drivers), or motor—reserve 20–30 % margin.
Interface: phase-cut vs 1–10 V/DALI-2; publish the approved controller list to avoid curve drift.
Ergonomics: head size, actuation force, and visibility (backlight rings, legends).
Spares: standardize inserts and frame geometry across floors; tag kits by room so installers don’t mix variants.
Where tactile feedback is important on plant doors, specify sick toggle switches selectively; for PLC door furniture and operator posts, consolidate under sick control switches to keep contact blocks and legends common.

Advantages of working with Bankoflamps

We align mechanism counts and finishes to your room schedules and door cutouts, then expose live EU stock before crews are booked. Quotations land in about an hour with EAN/MPN so ratings, insert types, and illumination options don’t drift mid-phase. Your portal shows lead times, shipment status, and downloadable price lists; pricing validity tracks project gates. Approved clients can use post-payment up to 30 days. We consolidate partials by room or panel to cut freight and site sorting, and your account manager cross-checks cutout size, IP class, contact mix, dimmer load window, legend text, and box depth against your drawings—so cartons arrive site-ready and crews wire once.
