> MSM Series Expanded to Include Colored Housing
The MSM metal switches from SCHURTER are now also available with a color-anodized aluminum housing. The new feature enables further customization options for this product.

The signal colors red and green provide optical accentuation to switching functions (START / STOP). The aluminum version, too, is characterized by the IK07 protection class and by high impact strength. Combined with the IP67 protection class for water and dust protection as well as flat mounting properties, the switches are robust and vandal-proof. For the mounting diameters of 19 and 22 mm, SCHURTER has standard products that are available with different lettering. Various contact types cover a range of 30 VDC to 250 VAC for the admissible switching voltage; switching currents are permissible from 0.1 to 10 Amperes. The MSM is designed with flat-pin plugs to permit rapid cabling. The cables are plugged into the microswitch which, in turn, is plugged into the previously screwed in switch. Additional mounting diameters, anodizing die colors or even color-anodized actuators are available upon request.

> Switch for Application in Explosive Facilities
Piezo Switch with ATEX Approval

The piezo switch from SCHURTER has achieved approval according to ATEX class II 2 G Ex ib IIB T4. This approval enables the switch to be employed in explosive facilities above ground. The protection class refers to the permissible application in areas where an explosive atmosphere can arise from a mix of air and gases, vapors or mists. The switch may be typically used in oil/gas production systems, in petrochemistry, as well as in paint and varnish mixing facilities. Preparations for extending the approval to include dust-Ex applications are underway. The standard design is available for a mounting diameter of 16mm with pin connections and various housing colors. Additional mounting diameters and connection designs are available upon request. The switches for Ex applications are labeled with the type of approval and an identification number. In accordance with the ATEX guidelines, an installation manual is included in the scope of delivery.

> Robuste Glasoberfläche beim neuen GFG Touch Screen
Der GFG (Glas-Film-Glas) Touch Screen erweitert die bewährte analog-resistive Touch Screen Technologie mit einem hochwertigem Glasdesign.

Durch seine robuste Glasoberfläche ist der Touch Screen optimal für raue Umgebungsbedingungen geeignet. Der erweiterte Temperaturbereich des GFG Touch Screens reicht von -40 °C bis +90 °C. Die Glasoberfläche garantiert die Haltbarkeit gegenüber Chemikalien und ist sehr widerstandsfähig gegen Zerkratzen. Der GFG Touch Screen kann deshalb mit Gegenständen wie Schlüsseln, Kugelschreibern oder Handschuhen betätigt werden ohne Beschädigungen zu verursachen.

Beim GFG Touch Screen wird ein dünnes Top-Glas mit der ITO beschichteten Polyesterfolie hochtransparent vollflächig verklebt. Dies ergibt einen festen Verbund von Glas und Polyesterfolie. Selbst im Falle eines Glasbruches durch extreme Gewalteinwirkung entstehen keine losen Glasbruchstücke; die Splitter bleiben im Klebeverbund haften.

Optimale Anwendungsbereiche für den GFG Touch Screen sind z. B. Industrieautomation, Maschinenbau, Medizintechnik, POI / POS, Messsysteme, Militär, Luftfahrt, Lebensmittelindustrie, Computer und Displays.

> New Metal Switch with Ceramic Surface
Metal switches with high resistance to destructive elements, fully illuminated actuating surface

The new MSM CS metal switch from SCHURTER is equipped with an actuator made of highly durable ceramic. Ceramic is a new technology employed in the production of an electro-mechanical switch. The new switch provides novel features that open up entirely new areas of application. The actuator material of the MSM CS is resistant to scratches, abrasion, impact and chemicals.

The non-illuminated version has a translucent white actuating surface. Lettering is black and is applied directly onto the ceramic material. Due to the base material and the lettering process, the lettering is resistant to scratches and to common cleaning agents. In the case of switches designed with illumination, the actuator surface fully illuminates uniformly across the entire surface. Lettering and symbols can also be applied. The standard black lettering provides a positive effect against the illuminated actuator, while negative lettering provides an inverse effect.

The MSM CS is extremely robust and meets vandal-proof demands due to the low profile of the front structure (1.7 mm), the IP 69K protection class and the high level of impact resistance. The switch is available in 19 mm and 22 mm mounting diameters. Different contact configurations are offered over a range of 30 VDC to 250 VAC for the admissible switching voltage; switching currents are permissible from 0.1 to 10 Amperes. The MSM CS is equipped with quick connect terminals to allow for fast connections. The wires are connected to the switching element which is subsequently snapped onto the switch housing.
