Choosing an Electrical Switch

Foot Switches

Press these switches with your foot for convenient, hands-free operation.

Washdown Foot Switches

These switches meet NEMA and IP requirements for protection from washdowns.

Corrosion-Resistant
Washdown Foot Switches

Rated NEMA 6P, 13, and IP68, these switches protect against corrosion, washdowns, and temporary submersion.

Any-Direction Foot Switches

Apply pressure from any direction to actuate these switches.

Washdown Any-Direction
Foot Switches

Rated NEMA 6P and IP68, these switches are protected against washdowns, corrosion, and temporary submersion.

Light Duty Foot Switches

Use this switch for intermittent, light-duty applications.

Variable-Speed Foot Switches

When the pedal is pressed, the built-in potentiometer adjusts the resistance to vary the speed for motor drives.

Hazardous Location Foot Switches

These switches are rated for environments where hazardous material is present.

Wireless Foot Switches

Control equipment from up to 40 feet away—these switches include a transmitter and a receiver that connects to equipment.

Switch Mats and Strips

Miniature Switch Mats

With a smaller footprint than other switch mats, these fit in confined spaces.

Water-Resistant
Miniature Switch Mats

Rated IP67, these switch mats withstand washdowns.

Switch Mats

Step on these mats to control doors, lights, or alarms.

Low-Profile Switch Mats

At only 3/32" thick, these mats fit under carpeting or anywhere else you want to hide them.

Cut-to-Length
Low-Profile Switch Mats

Customize the length of these switches by cutting them from a 25-foot roll.

Low-Profile Strip Switches

These narrow switches are also thin enough to be hidden under carpeting or installed anywhere space is limited.

Cut-to-Length Low-Profile
Strip Switches

Customize the length of these switches by cutting them from a 50-foot roll.

Safety Switch Mats

Prevent personnel from getting too close to dangerous equipment when equipment is on—these mats turn equipment off when someone steps on them or when a fault is detected.

Heavy Duty Safety Switch Mats

Thicker than standard safety switch mats, these withstand repeated impact from heavy and sharp objects.

Sealed Touch Pad Switches

Suitable for areas with space limitations, these switches have a low profile and a small footprint. They lay flat or mount to a wall.

Air-Actuated Switches

Air-Actuated Foot Switches

Press these switches with your foot for convenient, hands-free operation.

Build-Your-Own
Air-Actuated Foot Switches

Combine a foot-pedal actuator with a switching mechanism to build a complete switch.

Build-Your-Own
Air-Actuated Hand Switches

Combine a push-button actuator with a switching mechanism to build a complete switch.

Air-Actuated Hand Switches

Bumper Switches

Sensitive along their entire length, these switches are often used to signal when an overhead door closes or an item reaches the end of a conveyor.

Compressed Air Control Valves

Two-Action Foot-Operated
Air Directional Control Valves

Also known as 4-way and 4/2 valves, these valves create two actions, such as extending and then retracting a cylinder. Use your foot to operate them, leaving your hands free to perform other tasks.

Two-Speed
Two-Action Foot-Operated
Air Directional Control Valves

Often used to extend and then retract a cylinder at different speeds, these valves create two actions and have two exhaust ports, which allows you to control the speed of each action by attaching a flow control valve to each exhaust port. Use your foot to operate them, leaving your hands free to perform other tasks. Also known as 4-way and 5/2 valves.

Single-Action Foot-Operated
Air Directional Control Valves

These valves create one action, such as extending a cylinder. Use your foot to operate them, leaving your hands free to perform other tasks. Also known as 3-way or 3/2 valves.

Foot-Operated Air On/Off Valves

Turn airflow on and off with your foot to keep your hands free to perform other tasks.
