Featuring non-contact Hall effect technology, these controls offer three-position ON-OFF-ON analog output, 3 million lifecycles, submersion to 1m (IP67), and options for 1.0/2.5/4.0 VDC with 254mm (1in) pitch connectors. Available in multiple handle colors and redundant output configurations for extreme environments.
The APEM THUMB CONTROLS - FR SERIES deliver reliable, high-performance motion control solutions for industrial automation systems. Engineered with non-contact Hall effect technology, these thumb controls provide precise three-position ON-OFF-ON analog output functionality while maintaining exceptional durability. The FR series operates across extreme temperature ranges from -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F), ensuring consistent performance in harsh conditions. With IP67-rated sealing for submersion up to 1m (3.28ft), these controls are ideal for applications requiring resistance to dust, water, and environmental stress. The 3 million lifecycle capability and redundant output options further enhance their suitability for critical industrial processes.
Designed for extreme environmental conditions, the FR series maintains functionality across temperatures from -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F). The IP67 rating provides robust protection against dust, water, and submersion up to 1m (3.28ft), making these controls suitable for outdoor installations, marine environments, and industrial settings with high exposure to contaminants.
With a rated lifecycle of 3 million cycles, the FR series ensures long-term operational reliability in demanding applications. The non-contact Hall effect technology minimizes wear and tear, while the robust construction supports continuous use in high-stress environments without compromising performance.
The FR series offers flexibility through multiple configuration choices including handle color options, redundant output configurations, and mounting styles (drop-in or rear mount). Voltage options range from 1.0 to 4.0 VDC, providing compatibility with a wide range of industrial control systems.
