What We Test In House We have even developed specific in-house methods, like submersion testing in saline water, to help validate water protection. And we have built custom setups for real world use cases, like simulating a hospital gurney rolling over a cable. Life cycle testing and cable bend tests are handled in our innovation …
What is a Single-Stage Switch? A single-stage switch does one job. Press the pedal, and one function activates. Inside the treadle, there’s just one switch, usually a microswitch or a Hall sensor. If it’s a microswitch, you’ll hear and feel a click when it actuates. The actuation point is typically set around halfway through the …

What Is an OEM? OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. That’s the company that originally designed and built the full piece of equipment your footswitch is a part of. Linemaster makes the footswitch component, but the OEM decides how it needs to perform—mechanically, electrically, and even visually. So, when it comes time to replace that footswitch, …
