Description
rotarus® foot switch is a laboratory accessory that starts the dosing process by foot actuation, leaving both hands free for sample handling, vessel positioning, or other bench work. Designed for use with rotarus® systems, it supports controlled media delivery in workflows where manual start buttons would interrupt handling or reduce ergonomic comfort. The compact accessory helps operators maintain a steady working posture during repetitive dispensing tasks and is well suited to dosing stations, preparation benches, and other laboratory setups that benefit from hands-free initiation. Offered as a single-piece unit from manufacturer Hirschmann, the foot switch complements rotarus® dosing equipment without adding complex controls to the primary instrument interface. Net weight is 0,158 kg and gross weight 0,205 kg, with compact packaging dimensions that simplify storage beside the pump or dispenser. By separating start control from hand-operated steps, the foot switch improves process flow whenever precise media transfer must be coordinated with simultaneous manual operations.

Questions about ROTARUS® PEDAL SWITCH
What is this article?
ROTARUS® PEDAL SWITCH is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Hirschmann for laboratory use. It sits in Peristaltic & dosing pumps, inside Pumps, vacuum & evaporation, in Lab instruments.
A peristaltic pump moves liquid by rollers squeezing a tube, so the liquid never touches the mechanism. Flow depends on the tube bore and the speed. A dosing pump aims at a set volume. The tube is the consumable, and the chemical has to be one that tube survives.
A vacuum pump lowers the pressure above a liquid so it boils at a lower temperature. That is the point of a rotary evaporator: solvent leaves a sample without cooking it. A diaphragm pump or a rotary-vane pump is chosen by the vacuum it reaches and by whether solvent vapour will destroy it. A peristaltic pump moves liquid by squeezing a tube, so the liquid touches only the tube. A barrel pump transfers a larger volume from a drum. The glassware on the evaporator is indexed under ISO laboratory glassware. Solvent identity is on PubChem.
