A safety switch for the control of access for machines and industrial plants comprises a casing adapted to be fastened to a fixed part of the access to be controlled and housing thereinside switching means) for controlling one or more control and/or service circuits of the machine or plant, driving means adapted to interact with the switching means upon the opening/closing of the access for opening/closing one or more circuits, anchoring means of the casing to the fixed part of the access, the anchoring means being integrated in the casing and adapted to allow the selective fixing to the fixed part of the access according to at least two mutually angled orientations, one or more auxiliary modules adapted to be selectively mounted to the longitudinal upper end of the casing, fixing means for fixing the one or more auxiliary modules to the casing.

A mono or bidirectional contactor device for applications involving switching of the power supply for high current and/or voltage electrical loads, of the type comprising a containing and protective casing made of synthetic plastic insulating material with a bottom wall from which there extends an actuator portion, comprising a coil and auxiliary contacts, an intermediate portion for housing fixed and movable contact poles, and an upper arc chute portion for dissipating the electric arc. Advantageously the casing is chosen so as to have a flat parallelepiped form with the bottom wall extending at 90 with respect to a side wall of the casing on the shorter side and a support plate for the contactor is connected to the outer surface of the base wall or of said side wall so as to support the casing substantially with a vertical extension from the horizontal plane or projecting from the vertical plane.

A switch adapter can include a base having one or more openings, a support coupled to the base, and one or more retainers for coupling a switch to the adapter. The support can have one or more openings between its interior and exterior. The retainer can be adapted to couple to at least one of the base, the support, and a combination thereof. The switch adapter can include one or more switches, such as a replacement switch, and can be adapted for replacing a limit switch with a proximity switch. A proximity switch can be coupled to a switch adapter in one or more positions, and a switch adapter can be adapted to couple with a plurality of different switch mounts. A switch adapter can include a mass compensator for adjusting its center of gravity.

According to an embodiment, a switch attachment member includes a support that is formed to be attachable between a steering wheel and a steering boss, and supports a switch. The support is formed to be capable of changing a position of the switch.

A mounting frame may be configured as a self-adjusting mounting frame that biases itself against a surface of structure. The mounting frame may be a component, for example, of a remote control device or a faceplate assembly. The mounting frame may be configured to bias a rear surface of the mounting frame against the surface of a structure. The mounting frame may include biasing members. Each biasing member may include an attachment portion and a pair of resilient spring arms that suspend the attachment portion relative to a perimeter wall of the mounting frame such that the attachment portion is spaced further from the rear surface of the mounting frame than locations where the spring arms extend from the mounting frame. The rear surface of the mounting frame may be defined by the perimeter wall.

A remote control device is provided that is configured for use in a load control system that includes one or more electrical loads. The remote control device includes a mounting structure and a control unit, and the control unit is configured to be attached to the mounting structure in a plurality of different orientations. The control unit includes a user interface, an orientation sensing circuit, and a communication circuit. The control unit is configured to determine an orientation of the control unit via the orientation sensing circuit. The control unit is also configured to translate a user input from the user interface into control data to control an electrical load of the load control system based on the orientation of the control unit and/or provide a visual indication of an amount of power delivered to the electrical load based on the orientation of the control unit.

A control device may be configured to control one or more electrical loads in a load control system. The control device may be a wall-mounted device such as dimmer switch, a remote control device, or a retrofit remote control device. The control device may include a gesture-based user interface for applying advanced control over the one or more electrical loads. The types of control may include absolute and relative control, intensity and color control, preset, zone, or operational mode selection, etc. Feedback may be provided on the control device regarding a status of the one or more electrical loads or the control device.

A housing for switchgear includes: first and second parallel side walls connected by a frame, a top wall, and/or a bottom wall; a door extending between the first and second side walls and arranged hingedly on the first side wall, a door hinge axis of the door being parallel to the side walls; and an instrument panel including a front face and third and fourth parallel side walls extending perpendicular from the front face. The door has an opening through which the third and fourth side walls of the instrument panel extend. The instrument panel is hingedly arranged on the door. An instrument panel hinge axis of the instrument panel is parallel to the door hinge axis. The instrument panel hinge axis is positioned adjacent to the second side wall.

A control device may be configured to control one or more electrical loads in a load control system. The control device may be a wall-mounted device such as dimmer switch, a remote control device, or a retrofit remote control device. The control device may include a gesture-based user interface for applying advanced control over the one or more electrical loads. The types of control may include absolute and relative control, intensity and color control, preset, zone, or operational mode selection, etc. Feedback may be provided on the control device regarding a status of the one or more electrical loads or the control device.
