New ZaGO line protects switches
Gulf Industry (7/1/09)
ZaGO Manufacturing Company has
introduced a new line of silicone rubber
switch boots for toggle switches, push
button switches and rotary switches
aimed at ensuring long-lasting operation
of the equipment for which they are
used.
The new product enables switches to be
sealed properly
The new product enables switches to be
sealed properly so that they are not
left vulnerable to corrosive
environments, the company said.
“Our fasteners are found in the most
innovative products on the market and
guarantee high performance in even the
most challenging environments. Our new
switch boot seals will protect against
switch failure and eliminate the need
for switch replacements,” said Harvey
Rottenstrich, president of ZaGO, a
leading supplier of seal screws for more
than 15 years.
To meet the mounting challenges of
climate change, the need for alternative
energy solutions has never been more in
demand and as a result, engineers and
designers are seeking specialised
components to create new products and
equipment that is more energy efficient
and more dependable than ever before.
“ZaGO’s new switch seal boots are
waterproof, not just water resistant,
and are available for all types of
electrical controls. The new switch
boots can handle tough applications for
use in marine equipment, off-road
vehicles, aircraft, welding equipment,
medical equipment, and much more,” it
said.
The boots are moulded on a brass hex nut
with silicone rubber which conforms to
military specifications. No special
handling is required; they install
easily and fit over most standard
switches. All boots are crafted from a
single-piece design and are DFAR and
ROHS compliant. Small and light weight,
they will operate in temperature ranges
from -160 degrees F to 500 degrees F.
Emerging technology sectors that will
benefit from ZaGO’s rubber boot seals
include aerospace, automotive, computer
and electronic equipment, medical
equipment, and marine. They have
applications in “green” products such as
solar panels, wind turbines, and
electric cars. These products store
electric energy in the form of battery
electric cells, which can leak chemical
solutions if not sealed properly.
The Newark, NJ-based company specializes
in producing sealing fasteners and
boots. Additional products include seal
nuts, panel bushing seal washers, seal
rivets, seal Acorn nuts, and more.
