Herga Technology can offer a range of Pneumatic Switches to suit your application. Our range of Pneumatic Switches includes Air Switches, Bellows, Pneumatic Footswitches and Push Button Switches.
Any application where the user may have wet hands or in a wet environment may use a pneumatic switch. Some of the applications we have solved over the years include;
Patient hoists – the hoist can move the patient around their home or within a medical facility. Most are operated by the patient themselves so a button which requires little force is preferable. Sometimes hoists lift patients in and out of the bath or in other rooms in the house where water is present (kitchen etc), for this reason we would always recommend a pneumatic hand control switch for operating patient hoists.
Hospital Bed Controls – another pneumatic hand control, in medical facilities it is important to ensure patient safety. A pneumatic switch is better suited to this type of applications as liquids could come into contact with the switch. They are also very patient friendly as they only require s small force to operate.
Toilet flushes – more recently manufacturers tend to use infrared switches for toilet flushes, however push button switches are also a popular choice. In this kind of wet environment a pneumatic switch is well suited.
Spa and Jacuzzi Controls – in this environment the user is more than likely in the water so using an electrical switch is not an option, therefore a pneumatic switch is selected.
Shower systems in gymnasiums – public showers in health clubs and gymnasiums are another application which uses a pneumatic push button switch.
