Does this kind of switch stays on when pressed? Or it just for starting a motor or engine that will only need the initial energy to start?

I have it installed on 110v band-saw. Push green ON to start, and it will run until the red STOP button is pushed. Good quality, happy with purchase.

Yes, the switch stays in the ON position until you push the red button. The black shroud around the green button is to prevent pushing it inward by accident.

It worked just fine for me. I plugged it into a known electrical source and hit quick start and it started after the second push of the button.

Mine comes on when motion is dected or when the engine is started. I switch mine from my motorhome to my motorcycle. It works great for each application.

This switch only allows power in a momentary press. Not an off/on switch. Only when pressed.

Yes the thermo switch will let the motor cycle between on (cold) and off (hot) till motor burns out. It will take a few cycles of on and off when running dry but will self destruct. Don't run it dry.

There is no way to keep the switch on unless you rigged it with tape. The way it works is that you press the button and hold it down to keep the electric current on and then when you release the pressure, it automatically turns off. It's a built in safety precaution so nobody gets zapped accidentally.

most definitely, release the lock, adjust the gas, press the starter and go. it stays on until you shut it of. this also allows for one hand operation.

It's a push button start. If it's not starting you may have a defect. It's worked really well for us.

Its a push switch. When you press in, it turns on and stays pressed. To turn it off, you press again and it extend and stay extended.

The rocker switch is a normally open switch, you want a difference type of switch that will stay closed when you want to turn on the motor, or you need a seal circuit with a push button that will open and close the circuit

I can not say that it is, or is not, a magnetic switch. I can tell you that it performs the same function for me. I use these on my woodshop tools. I have tested them by turning on a tool, then turning the circuit off to simulate a power outage. When the breaker is switched back on, the tools do not re-start. You must physically turn the tool back on. Great, and necessary safety feature.

I'm using the switch as an on/off/auto for a electric car fan. It is double pole/double throw, so you can do two of something (fans, pumps, whatever) if you want. So it would be off/off, on/on, or auto/auto. If i understand you correctly you want to run the pump normally controlled from of a sensor "auto", then force "off" even if the sensor says to turn it on, and then also force "on" if the sensor says no. If that is the case then YES this switch will work. The switch completes the circuit in two positions, and is "open" in another position.

Pat, I think when you turn it on, it just stays on - and then you put the change in a little at a time. I never used this one, so I'm not 100% sure, but the one that I dropped on the ground and broke (!!) that was very similar...you just press the on button and it stays on.

You don't want the activator switch for a push start. You would want the momentary. Activator switches are pressed for on and then pressed again for off. They stay in the on or off position until pressed again. Momentary switches are only active while depressed. Like turning the key to start the car then releasing once started.

It doesn't have any kind of switch. You just plug and unplug to use. I don't know if there is a built in emergency shut off like you get on irons, but I really doubt it. I haven't used it a lot, but it has never shut off on me. Karen K

Sorry, I can't say. I used it for a different application. I can tell you that it's a pretty standard switch. First position is (off) 1 click clockwise is maintained switch (ignition) push in on key is a momentary switch (electric choke) further turn clockwise is another momentary switch (electric starter) ignition remains on throughout

No it does not, it starts in 1 or 2 pulls and it is very easy to pull. I feel that the electric start ones are not worth it unless you use it often. If you need this unit for emergency use only, most likely the battery will be dead when you need it unless you keep a trickle charge on it. Hope this helps.
