Sprecher + Schuh Pilot Devices

Sprecher + Schuh's rugged D7 pilot devices offer maximum flexibility and a wide choice for all applications. This 22mm line is aesthetically appealing and modularly designed to make assembly and interchangeability easy. The D7 operators are available in two different body styles to meet every application need. Both operators exhibit a new lower profile, stylish appearance while maintaining the rugged performance necessary for demanding environments.

A standard anti-rotation tab keeps front elements from turning or falling off the control panel, making it possible for one person to install all D7 components even if the front and rear panel are not accessible at the same time. A central mounting ring allows for quick installation and removal of all D7 operators. All back-of-panel components including contact blocks and power module elements snap-on and are readily accessible and interchangeable without removing the pilot device from the panel.

Most D7 operators have a mechanical life of ten million operations... five million contact blocks. Electrical life ranges from 500,000 cycles at 3A to ten million at 0.1A. The D7 line is also electronics-compatible with self-cleaning contacts.
