Rocker switch - A rocker switch is the control panel of a special button that can be used to trigger a specific action using a rocker mechanism. After actuation, the rocker returns to its starting position. You can use rocker switches to manually control electrical components in your smart home installation. For example, you can switch your wall lights on or off, gradually set a dimmer brighter or darker by pressing the rocker switch, or raise and lower blinds. Their areas of application are of course even more extensive. Here in the eibabo technology store we offer you rocker switches, rocker switch sets and cover plates from switch programs from different manufacturers. Rocker switches are also available for operating machines and other industrial equipment. These are then designed according to their intended area of application, are robust and can meet additional requirements such as protection class IP67, i.e. reliable protection against dust and water.Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Installation bus systems > Touch rocker for bus system you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Building controlBus system rocker switchButtonButton coverCentral diskEIB rocker switchEIB touch rockerHome controlKNX rocker switchKNX touch rockerLabel fieldLatchLettering serviceLight controlMemory functionNetworkingNikobusOperating top unitPush buttonRockerRocker switchSeesawTactile sensorTouch rocker for bus systemUnlockerfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Rocker switch:BerkerBusch JaegerEltakoGiraHagerMerten

Tactile sensor - Smart, individual, simple, extravagant, futuristic - touch sensors, also known as KNX buttons, like to attract admiring glances and their modern design alone suggests to every user that this is more than a conventional light switch. Rockers, glowing LEDs, small symbols or even LCD displays give an idea of the numerous functions hidden behind many an installation. In addition, there is often a very noble selection of materials such as high-quality metal, acrylic or glass, which always exudes a touch of extravagance. But why are multifunctional touch sensors needed and how do you use their potential optimally? We give you a brief insight here.The basics in a nutshellTouch sensors are multifunctional control elements for the smart home.The design and function selection is huge, from a single button to a control center with 12 or more buttons, everything is possible.You can use it to control, for example, the light, its dimming, blinds, heating, entertainment center, door opener and all other devices in your home network.The button functions can be assigned individually and can be easily reprogrammed if necessary.Integrated LEDs or other displays often show the respective operating status or provide information about errors. What is a touch sensor or a KNX button?You can operate the end devices integrated in your smart home network with a touch sensor or a KNX button. This can be blinds that you can raise and lower - light that you dim - the heating that you regulate or completely individual, user-defined scenarios. Depending on the model, operation is optically individual. In general, it is operated using a different number of buttons or rocker switches and/or even displays.The different types of KNX buttonsUsing a KNX universal button interface, you can basically turn any conventional button into a KNX button. These interfaces are installed in a deep device box behind the standard button and thus take on the task of the binary input, which converts the classic switching processes into KNX signals.Which doses are suitable?To do this, use a branch switch box with 4 screw domes or a deep switch box or an electronics box. Use our eibabo® search to quickly find the right item.This solution is particularly suitable for the standard application 'basic lighting' per room (see: 'What are standard applications?') or for the modernization of existing installations as well as for inexpensive and functionally manageable system extensions.'Real' KNX tactile sensors are much more complex and range up to control elements with elegant touch displays. Temperature sensors, LED displays and background lighting are often already combined in one device. In contrast to the simple interface variant, there is often the option of providing each key with additional functions, which are then triggered, for example, by a long press, double-click or even triple-click. TIP:We recommend planning well in advance so that you can later fit all the functions you need into your keypad. While some KNX push-button sensors require a separate bus coupler to which they are plugged, the bus coupler is already integrated in others. The eibabo® technology store also has both complete KNX pushbuttons and pushbutton sensor modules. The latter is 'only' about the technology and you can choose a matching design cover yourself. The possibilities are diverse - you can choose exactly what suits your project.The advantages and disadvantages of tactile sensorsThe central control of a large number of actions on different end devices is certainly the greatest advantage. The plus in comfort is combined with the flexible options for changing and expanding a well-planned setup. The disadvantage is certainly the slightly higher acquisition costs of a smart home solution compared to a conventional electrical installation. In the case of units with many keys and each assignment with different control variables (print, double-click), the overview of all the functions and their control can easily be lost.Unusual application examples in everyday lifeWe have already mentioned a few classic use cases. In the course of our more than 25 years of work, we have also been able to implement 'very special' projects. It starts with the smart opening and locking of the cat flap in the basement, continues with the choreographed lighting of exterior facades and doesn't end with the automatic pool cover, the fully automated aquarium or the heated driveway in winter. You want to know more? We answer frequently asked questions.Nobody knows everything and sometimes there are small ambiguities that prevent us from correctly grasping connections or from deciding on one or the other product. You may also find an answer to your question in the following topics.How are the KNX devices programmed?Many interested parties are quickly startled by the term 'programming', but it's not that difficult at all, because it's not actually programmed with the 'ETS', but assignments and parameterizations are carried out.What does ETS mean for KNX?The term ETS (Engineering Tool Software) means that it is programming software for commissioning the KNX devices. The tool is more of a software for parameterization and basically also suitable for laypersons with an interest in the logic of the KNX.No programming knowledge or programming language is required. If you are interested in the rather simple logical connections of the KNX bus, you are in a position to create a project. Of course, more complex projects require a certain amount of experience. We always recommend having the basic project created by an experienced system integrator. This allows you to easily change important parameters yourself later on, since many things change in the life cycle.Which touch sensor or KNX button should I buy?Well, we can't give a general answer to this question, but we can perhaps provide some impetus for decision-making. KNX push button sensors are available in a variety of designs. The manufacturers offer solutions for every taste. However, you should not only be guided by the optics. In addition to the optics, eibabo® also recommends checking the applications (parameters and functions) provided by the manufacturer for the ETS (Engineering Tool Software). Significant deficits can open up here in the course of a project if the beautiful button were not able to control the necessary actions correctly. Plan exactly which requirements you place on the respective push button sensor and then select a suitable model accordingly. NOTE:ETS is standardized software for commissioning the KNX devices and can be obtained from www.knx.org. With regard to the design, you should also rely on optics that have a positive effect in the long term and not follow every short-term trend, only to realize a few years later that the brightly colored displays and the LEDs for various status messages on the buttons in the wall were a bit too much of a good thing. It makes sense to ensure that displays can be dimmed or configured in different brightness levels and status LEDs can be configured and switched off. A timeless surface design, for example, has simple elegance, looks classy, is durable and has no playful rockers that could quickly gather dust.How do I recognize whether a touch sensor already has a bus connection?Some touch sensors already have a bus connection. If you're not sure, a look at the back will clarify.Image: KNX push button sensor - Jung 4047TSMA touch sensor is equipped with a bus coupling if it has a black and red (or gray and red) terminal for the bus on its back. This 4-wire terminal with plug-in terminal connection serves as a distributor for up to four KNX lines.How do I keep track of the individual functions of complex touch sensors?We would like to encourage you to think: Imagine you come into a room and have to press the small second rocker from the top left on an 8-way pushbutton sensor every day to switch on the basic lighting. It can quickly happen that you accidentally set the pressure point on the adjacent rocker and unfortunately operate the blinds at 11:00 p.m. Not to mention how a guest or child is supposed to cope with it.So it can indeed be a bit difficult to always steer correctly. But: The advantages of the KNX lie in the intelligence of the system, which is implemented by the system integrator based on their experience and your functional requirements. For this reason, you should arrange functions logically or thematically and, if necessary, group them on easy-to-use buttons. If necessary, it is advisable to divide standard applications and detailed circuits into different buttons at different mounting heights.What are default applications? What is the best way to implement this into the system?The first switch box is usually placed on the 1.05m upper edge of the finished floor. At this point you should mount a conventional double button and connect it twice to the bus via a very inexpensive KNX button interface. Of course, you can also mount 2 or 3 double buttons and integrate a 4-way or 6-way KNX button interface. A deep switch box or electronics box is installed as a flush-mounted box in order to be able to place the small button interface behind the double button.Here you save!Combine a KNX button interface with a conventional double button.With the conventional double button, you have more choice in the design of the switch range and, in the event of defects or design changes, you can obtain a lifetime replacement without having to reprogram. You can assign the most important and most frequently used basic lighting to this button or parameterize the button or the button interface with light scene recall. A beautiful flat switch is also very easy to use for guests and children.What is meant by detailed switching on the KNX button?You should mount detailed circuits of the certainly many functions in a room on the 1.60m upper edge of the finished floor and call them up from a room controller or multiple push-button sensor with an optionally integrated room temperature controller (see also our multiple control unit catalogue). A room temperature controller already requires this mounting height for optimal control. At this user-friendly height, you can then carry out all additional controls for additional lighting, blinds, roller shutters, entertainment, etc.Touch sensors wear out very quickly! Is that correct?Like all other technical components that are used more or less every day, tactile sensors and control points in general are subject to a certain amount of wear and tear. However, this is no different than with conventional buttons or switches. It is possible that individual parts that have been in use for a decade are then worn out.Does it make sense to control the heating using touch sensors?Definitely, as a rule, individual room heating controls are also required for KNX installations. In terms of value for money, the combined buttons with room temperature controllers are the best choice, also in terms of user-friendliness.Which manufacturer offers the most beautiful and best KNX buttons?Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, we won't take a position on that. In terms of quality, however, all brands perform very well. There is no such thing as the 'best' touch sensor. Each manufacturer has its individual strengths in terms of applications (parameters and functions). eibabo® offers switches from all brand manufacturers (from ABB, Berker, Busch-Jaeger, Gira, Hager, Jung, MDT, Merten to Siemens). Select KNX push-button sensors in the following versions: KNX push-button sensor, KNX sensor unit, KNX wall sensor, KNX room control unit, KNX push-button sensor module, KNX push-button sensor extension module, KNX push-button 1-fold, KNX push-button 2-fold, KNX push-button 4-fold, KNX push-button 5-way, 6-way KNX button, 8-way KNX button, KNX control panel, KNX button with bus coupler, KNX button module, KNX touch sensor, KNX button sensor plus, KNX glass button.

Blind switch-push button - Do you have numerous windows and would like to operate your blinds or roller shutters easily and conveniently at the push of a button? No problem. If your shading has drive motors, you can easily control the up and down with a blind switch. With blind switches from the eibabo® shop, you can dispense with the hassle of manually opening and closing and equip your building with a high-quality electric blind control. If you want it to be particularly convenient, then products from our smart home range might also be an option for you. Talk to us, we are specialists in the field of building automation.Image: Busch Jaeger 2000/4 US shutter switch insertWhat are blind switches?Blind switches or buttons for roller shutters are components for controlling blinds and roller shutters. However, it is also possible to connect drives for opening and closing awnings, roller shutters and similar things. The polarity is reversed by operating the respective rocker switches or buttons or by turning a toggle or a key in different directions. This causes the actuator or motor to be controlled in two different directions.Please noteYou cannot use a normal switch to control blinds. In the case of blind buttons or blind switches, the control is interlocked. This means that there can be either only the up command or the down command. Simultaneous actuation in both directions is not possible.In addition to the simple switches and buttons, models with a latching function, rotary key switches, variants with remote control or radio control and devices with a bus connection for home automation are also available. The switches for surface mounting and flush mounting are also available.Special features of the classic roller shutter switchThe classic among roller shutter switches looks like a light switch. Installed in a conventional switch box or surface-mounted, operation is usually carried out using two buttons (up button and down button) or a two-way button. Normally you have to press the respective button until the desired position of the shading is reached. The motor stops when a button is released. The same applies to the rocker switch with the two-way button. With a latching switch, you press the button for the corresponding direction and the motor opens or closes the shade to the end position. If you want to stop this process, you can do so using a stop function. This is triggered by pressing it again or in the opposite direction.Special features of a rotary switch / toggle switch for blinds and roller shuttersTechnically, the rotary switch is identical to the classic roller shutter switch. The difference lies in the operation. With these models, you turn the so-called knob to the left or right to determine the direction in which the motor runs. Here, too, you have the choice between models with a locking function or variants in which you have to hold the toggle in the desired position.qualityAll blind switches in the eibabo® technology store come from well-known manufacturers such as Berker, Gira, Somfy, Jung, Siemens, Hager and Busch Jaeger. We regularly use this high-quality branded product in our own projects.Special features of a key switch for blinds and roller shuttersA key switch is rarely used in private rooms. In publicly accessible areas, however, the rotary key switch offers effective protection against use by unauthorized persons. A key is required for operation, which is turned in the lock to the left or right for the desired direction. Here, too, a snap-in function is optionally possible. Such a switch is usually surrounded by a solid metal housingAdvantages and disadvantages of manual blind controlThis purely mechanical type of control is comparatively simple and works depending on the type of shading:by means of a rotatable shaft, which is manually driven by a torsion bar or a crankpurely due to the gravity of the roller shutters or awnings - often a belt causes the shading to be lowered and pulled up The systems are robust and mostly low-maintenance. In comparison to the automatic solution, it is operated entirely without electricity. The shading can thus be controlled independently of existing lines or the availability of electricity. In addition, this variant is easier to install. No cables need to be laid. Manual control is usually cheaper than automatic control. With a manual blind control, it is not possible to group several shadings and regulate them together. Each window must be adjusted individually. It is also not possible to open or close according to a predetermined time setting, the position of the sun or the wind load.Advantages and disadvantages of an electric blind controlThe main advantage of the electrified blind control is the increased comfort. The basic functionality is identical to manual control. But instead of having to turn the crank, you can simply open and close your shading with the push of a button. With appropriate cabling, several windows can be operated simultaneously, but not independently of each other. The disadvantages are the higher installation costs and the dependence on electricity. In the event of a power failure, it is generally not possible to move the shading. The electrical control forms the basis for automating the system. However, this is not yet a 'real' automation. This offers even more comfort.Advantages and disadvantages of automatic blind controlThere are countless ways to respond to personal needs or environmental influences with automatic control. With the term 'Smart Home' we describe the automation of buildings or apartments in which all technical communication is combined in a single network. With sensors and actuators, the intelligent house handles many processes independently, including the control of roller shutters, awnings, roller shutters and blinds:With light sensors, the shading is regulated automatically depending on the intensity of the natural light and the direction of the sun's rays.Temperature sensors set the shading in motion as soon as the temperature in the room rises above a set value.Timers ensure automatic timing.Weather stations and precipitation sensors react to wind and rain, retract the shading and protect it from damage. TIPThe automated blind control can be wired or wireless, so the control can be central, decentralized or remote. This maximum level of comfort and flexibility is offset by higher installation costs for actuators, sensors and other software and hardware. In addition, when selecting wired devices, it is necessary to provide a separate data line. As a layman, you usually have to consult a specialist for the basic setup of the network. When the system is running, a lot of energy can also be saved with optimized processes. Installing automated shutters and blinds is a trendsetting way to control lighting in apartments and houses. This saves time, effort and energy. If you are interested in building automation, you will find everything you need here in the eibabo® shop.

Push button - The area of switch programs is very important here in the eibabo online shop. The buttons, in turn, are an important part of all switch programs and can be purchased in different versions. For example, we carry the classic buttons that either close a contact (NO contact) or open a contact (NC contact) when pressed. In addition, double pushbuttons and double rocker pushbuttons, rotary pushbuttons, key pushbuttons, series pushbuttons, rocker pushbuttons, simple rocker pushbuttons or pull-pull pushbuttons are part of our huge range of pushbuttons. Did you know that there is a difference between a switch and a button? In a switch, an electrically conductive connection is made manually between two contacts. The circuit is closed mechanically. Pressing the switch again breaks this connection and interrupts the current flow. A typical application is the classic light switch. A button, on the other hand, only gives impulses to activate or deactivate a circuit. This impulse is triggered by pressing the button and depending on the line resistance. The classic application example here is the bell on the house or a door opener.Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Devices for distribution board-/surface mounting > Push button for distribution board you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Built-in buttonBuilt-in button for distributionsBuilt-in deviceButtonButton for series installationButton with indicator lightButtons and indicator lightsIlluminated buttonIlluminated push buttonIlluminated switchIndicator lightModular installation deviceOn/Off switchPulse buttonPush buttonPush button for DIN railPush button for distribution boardPush button modularPush button signal lampPush button switchPush button, completePush-buttonPushbuttonPushbutton modularSeries installation buttonStart/stop switchSwitchTactile switchfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Push button:ABBDoepkeEatonHagerLegrand BticinoSchneider ElectricSiemensSommerWAGO

Push button - Experience the extensive product selection of our switch programs and find your product from the button and momentary switch area here. Read on and learn more about the different types of buttons, their functions and areas of application. This eibabo® catalog mainly contains buttons for classic domestic use. These are either styli or complete devices for wall installation and wall mounting. The different types include single and double buttons and rocker buttons, rotary buttons, manual release buttons, key buttons and key switches, series buttons and pull-cord switches. Another product group are the pushbutton switches / rocker switches.Are you looking for pushbutton sensors, pushbuttons for industrial applications (e.g. on machines or in consoles) or pushbuttons for use in control cabinets? For this we offer you separate categories with a huge selection. Please use our powerful search.Image: Jung 531-41 U Multi-Switch double buttonWhat is the difference between a button, a switch and a tactile switch?Switching processes accompany us every day. This begins early in the morning when the alarm clock is switched off and the light is switched on. As a rule, we don't worry about how the technology behind each shift works. Typically, these are devices in which a mechanism ensures that a circuit is closed or opened. However, if we take a closer look at the type of circuit, clear differences become apparent.The deskThe classic, simple switching process (e.g. at the light switch) consists of two states - ON and OFF. A conductive connection is made or broken between two contacts. We operate the rocker switch, a circuit closes and the light shines. We operate the other side of the paddle switch, the circuit is broken and the light goes out. The shift paddle remains in the corresponding position with every shift. As a result, the respective switching status ON or OFF remains until the rocker switch is pressed into the other position.The buttonThe basic function of the button is slightly different. A button does not switch, but closes the circuit via a pressure pulse. The functional principle corresponds to that of a switch. Here, too, a conductive connection is established between two contacts by actuating a rocker or a push button. The current flows and the lamp lights up or a bell rings. Unlike the switch, the circuit is immediately broken again when the pressure pulse ends. The rocker or pushbutton is returned to its original position by a spring mechanism. Other types of styli work in the opposite way. The circuit is separated by the pressure pulse and then closed again. An application example for this are electromagnets on the door opener. Switching scenarios can also be implemented via these pressure pulses by using additional relays. You know this from lighting in stairwells, for example.The tactile switchA tactile switch is a combination of a button and a switch. Such a device is similar to a switch in terms of the switching function and a button in terms of operation. A rocker switch or push button closes the circuit when pressed and then returns to the starting position. Unlike the button, however, the circuit remains closed until another pressure pulse interrupts the circuit. So it is the mechanism that distinguishes the pushbutton switch from the switch.Perfect opticsThe rockers of pushbutton switches arranged next to each other are always in the same position relative to each other, regardless of the current switching status.This results in an always uniform and orderly view. Unlike pushbuttons, relay switching with pushbutton switches is not possible. As a rule, there is no significant optical difference between switches, buttons and pushbutton switches from the same switch range. Especially when it comes to rockers, tilting controls, sliding elements or rotary handles.What are normally open, normally closed and changeover contacts?Buttons are available as openers, closers and changers. In most cases, a button is used as a closer. The connected circuit is closed with a pressure pulse. As already described, this state only lasts as long as the button is pressed. The closer works in the opposite direction. In a basically closed circuit, pressing a button breaks the circuit. As you probably already suspected, a changer can take over both functions. You will surely wonder if this is not a switch. And you are right. A changeover contact corresponds to the pushbutton switch described above.What is a key switch?Key buttons are classic buttons, but they do not have manual controls. Instead, a suitable key is required. Turning the key in the lock changes the switching status. For example, turning the key will open a roller door for as long as it is held in the OPEN position. The roller door stops when the key returns to the zero position. However, such devices are usually designed as pushbutton switches / changeover switches. In these cases, turning and holding the key in the other direction closes the roller door.How do I recognize the switching status of pushbutton switches?Simply designed pushbutton switches can leave you in the dark about which switch position is currently applied. However, most pushbutton switches have a small indicator light that signals the active status.Are all button inserts compatible with all switch ranges?You can buy buttons from us for the most popular switch programs from all relevant manufacturers. These include Berker, Busch-Jaeger, Siemens, Jung, Gira, Elso, Merten, Hekatron, Sommer, Rademacher as well as von Peha, Hager and WindowMaster. We carry both flush-mounted devices and surface-mounted versions.Please note that every manufacturer offers both button inserts for installation in the switch box and complete devices for flush-mounting and surface-mounting. If you decide to buy button inserts, please make sure they are compatible with the switch range you want. TIP:Choose pushbutton inserts and switches from the same manufacturer and from the same series. Cross-series or cross-manufacturer compatibility is not guaranteed, especially for switch ranges with a very individual design. We recommend first choosing a switch range that corresponds to your visual ideas. After that, the search for the right switches and buttons is easier.Can I also carry out KNX controls with a normal button?In this catalog you will receive buttons without a network connection. With a network-capable KNX button, you can operate the end devices integrated in your smart home network. This can be:the blinds, which let you move up and downthe light that you switch and dimthe heating you controlthe doors you open and closecompletely individual, user-defined scenarios It is generally operated using a different number of buttons or rocker switches on the device and/or via displays. KNX buttons specially made for this are more complex than the buttons without network connection offered in this catalogue. This extends to controls with an elegant touch display. Temperature sensors, LED displays and backlights are often already part of a unit. In addition, it is often possible to provide each key with additional functions, which are triggered, for example, by long pressing, double-clicking or even triple-clicking. A corresponding interface is required for communication with your building automation. With some KNX buttons, the so-called bus coupling is already integrated, with others you have to install it additionally and plug in the button. TIP:Using a KNX universal button interface, you can make simple buttons network-capable. With a KNX universal button interface, however, you can basically turn any conventional button into a KNX button. These interfaces are installed in a deep device box behind the conventional button and take on the task of a binary input. This converts the analogue, mechanical switching processes into KNX signals. But this solution is more for:simple standard applications such as switching lightsthe modernization of analogue existing installationsinexpensive and functionally manageable system extensions Complex parameterizations are not possible with these simple buttons. If you want this, the KNX push-button sensors designed for this are the better choice.

Cable ties - Do you want to hold lines, cables or other everyday things together, lash them down, fix them, connect them to each other - temporarily or for life? Cable ties are often a quick and very inexpensive solution. The selection of inexpensive and stable cable ties at eibabo® is huge. Here you can find out something about the history, areas of application and the properties of individual materials.Cable ties can be used universally and have become indispensable in our daily lives. These are handy, inexpensive and above all very versatile. Cable ties are used in the office, at home, on the go, when camping, as well as in trade and industry. But where does this useful everyday helper actually come from?The history of the cable tieCable ties originated in the United States of America. A cable tie was first patented there in the 1950s and was originally intended for fastening telephone cables.Already knew?The cable tie was born on October 1, 1954. On this day, the American George M. Rapata filed the corresponding patent in his name. This makes him the inventor of the cable tie.The first models were still made of metal. The further development and the commercial establishment of this idea is attributed to a Mr. Maurus S. Logan from the company Thomas & Betts. With the beginning of the industrial processing of plastics, this electrical company was able to produce the 'Ty-Rap'. The idea for the 'Ty-Rap' came to Logan in 1956 while visiting a Boeing airplane factory. At that time, the electrical wiring of the aircraft was still very complicated. Miles of wires were laid on long sheets of plywood and tied in place with waxed braided nylon cord. In view of this enormously lengthy manual work, Logan was convinced that there had to be a simple, durable and above all faster alternative. Over the next few years, Logan experimented with different tools and materials. On June 24, 1958, the 'Ty-Rap' cable tie was patented and marketed. In the decades that followed, the cable tie established itself more and more as a general means of attachment and thus found its way into almost all areas of everyday life.Flexible usageThe principle of the cable tie as a self-locking loop is even used in surgery. In this way, doctors fix broken bones or tie off vessels.Today there is hardly a household without cable ties. Whether for bundling power cables, fixing plants or as creative handicraft material - the possible uses are almost unlimited.Are there reusable cable ties?Cable ties are very inexpensive. The excess end is usually cut off after installation. This is why cable ties are usually disposable. However, there are some models that are reused.What types of cable ties are there?Cable ties differ in appearance and material. This results in different characteristics in terms of possible uses and durability. Among others, the following cable ties are widely used:Disposable cable ties:This is the classic cable tie. One end is pushed through the ratchet on the other end. This connection cannot be loosened again. To release the binding, the cable tie must be cut. Instead of a ratchet, there are also other self-locking systems, for example a clamping ball on metal cable ties.Bead Cable Ties:The design resembles a pearl necklace. The beads are threaded through a hole/two holes at the other end of the cable tie and hook into a taper of the respective hole. This holding connection is not as secure as with other models. A bead cable tie can be used again and again for this. This type of cable tie also comes in other designs, such as a herringbone or ladder shape.Multiple Cable Ties:Reusable cable ties have either a locking release feature (push button, rocker release, clip style) or a removable ratchet.Cable ties with marking:These models have flags or solid areas for written or printed identificationDouble loop cable ties:Here the ratchet sits in the middle and both ends can be pulled through the middle to form a loop.What special shapes are there for cable ties?In addition to the different types, there are also some special forms that are optimized for specific areas of application. Some cable ties have an eyelet or a fastening hole on the ratchet and can be attached to the ground with a screw. Other variants are supplied with a dowel including an impact pin. This means that electrical cables can only be laid on wood, brick and concrete surfaces using cable ties. Screws are no longer used. Cable ties with clamp anchors work in a similar way. This anchor is pushed through a hole in a metal surface and latches at the back. To fix a cable tie on a smooth surface, special pads with a self-adhesive layer are available. These can (additionally) also be fastened with a screw.What are cable ties made of?Cable ties are made of different materials. Which material you should use depends on the place of use and the desired durability. Cable ties are most commonly made from flexible nylon. At least 2% carbon black is added to nylon to increase resistance to UV light in outdoor applications. This protects the polymer chains and extends the life of the cable tie. In the food industry, cable ties contain a metal additive so that they can be detected by industrial metal detectors. ETFE (ethylene tetrafluoroethylene copolymer) cable ties are used in radiation hazardous environments. Stainless steel cable ties are available for explosion proof applications. Coated stainless steel cable ties prevent corrosion between dissimilar metals.Image: Cable ties from various manufacturersWhat affects the durability of a cable tie?Nothing is forever. Cable ties are also subject to a certain amount of wear or age over time. Then the moment has come to replace a cable tie. The following circumstances affect the durability of the cable ties:Temperature: At temperatures above 85 degrees, nylon loses its elasticity and strength. When cold, it becomes brittle and breaks.Humidity: If the air humidity is permanently high, the cable ties absorb moisture and the strength decreases.Material thickness: A larger material cross-section increases the service life.Vibration: Microcracks form due to constant vibrations, which lead to the destruction of the product.Radiation: Sunbeams and other radiations also affect the strength of the plastic structure.Mechanical stress: Twisting, pulling or abrasion lead to premature closure of the materialChemicals: Decomposing substances of all kinds and their vapors reduce durability. What do I need a cable tie tensioner for?A cable tie tensioner can be used to apply a cable tie with some tension. The tool trims the excess end flush. This will avoid a sharp edge that could otherwise cause injury. If you want to process a large number of cable ties, the tensioner offers the following advantages:convenient and fast workprovides the necessary tensionthe force regulator guarantees a uniform attachmentgrab and pull with one handSave time by automatically cutting the end piece Do the material colors have a specific meaning?In addition to a large variety of materials, we offer you natural-colored and black cable ties as well as various other material colors. The bright colors in particular are used for easy visual recognition in dark environments. The use of a specific color for a corresponding application is not prescribed. TIP:Tie together matching cables with cable ties of the same color. This makes sorting, separation or recognition within cable harnesses or in other rooms easier.

Footswitch - Especially in the industrial sector, special machines such as packaging and riveting machines, cutting, separating and bending systems often cannot be operated by hand. In these cases, a foot switch control is used. With this switching via foot switch, application and production processes are started or stopped. Depending on the model, such a foot switch can be equipped with one or even several switching stages and have a forced disconnect device if its operation is interrupted. Foot switches typically have a high IP protection class and are particularly robust. They can therefore withstand contact with certain chemicals and are particularly resistant to mechanical influences such as shocks and impacts. In addition to models with just one rocker switch, your eibabo online shop also offers foot switches with dual operation.Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Low-voltage industrial components > Foot switch you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Agreement switchBusbar processingButtonEnabling switchFoot switchFoot-operated switchFootswitchMushroomOff switchPedalPower switchPush buttonPush button, completeSafety foot switchSwitchfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Footswitch:ABBElektraRittalRockwellSchmersalSchneider ElectricSiemensSteute
