HPL
HALL EFFECT LINEAR OUTPUT PUSHBUTTONS
The HPL Series is a revolutionary new switch utilizing Hall Effect
technology to provide the user an output proportional to the travel of
the button. Available IP68 with seal, the HPL delivers 10,000,000
actuations. 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 also provide custom configurations as
well as provide the HPL switches installed in a control grip.
