HALL EFFECT LINEAR OUTPUT PUSHBUTTONS
10 MILLION LINEAR OUTPUT CYCLES USING CONTACTLESS HALL EFFECT TECHNOLOGY
LINEAR OUTPUT
PUSHBUTTONS
HPL
The HPL Hall Effect Linear Output Pushbutton Switch utilizes Hall
effect technology to provide the user an output proportional to
the travel of the button. The HPL delivers up to 10 million cycles.
This rugged switch is ideal for applications where a simple on/
off control is insufficient and a linear output is desired. Using the
HPL, an operator can control the motion of a device as well as the
speed of the movement. The HPL switch is an ideal control device
for valves and variable speed drives, and can be used in industrial
control, heavy equipment and material handling applications.
The HPL is offered as a stand-alone switch and in a dual HPL
rocker assembly. As with all OTTO switches, a wide variety of
case and button styles and colors are offered, along with
various termination styles and two levels of sealing. OTTO
can provide custom configurations as well as provide the HPL
switches installed in a control grip.

HPL dimensions are equivalent to standard OTTO P1 Pushbutton dimensions as shown in the catalog except for
overall length. Total button height is 0.25” on standard 0.375” OD buttons. Overall length from button top to rear of
potting is 1.26” nominal, except for the HPL-4 and 0.500” OD button styles which measure 1.56”. Panel mounting
hardware is included, except with the HPL-1 which is meant to press fit into mounting hole in a control grip. Refer
to the dimensions shown or consult OTTO to design the control grip to meet your specifications.
