Keep your hands free for other tasks by triggering switches with your foot.
Back-pivot switches actuate with a tap of the toe. Front-pivot switches reduce fatigue by letting you rest your foot on them. They won't actuate until you lean into them with your bodyweight. Center-pivot switches let you control two circuits with a single foot—one with your toe and one with your heel. Also known as rocker switches, they can be pressed either forward or backward, meaning you actuate one circuit at a time.
Two-speed switches have staged contacts. For slow speed, push the pedal halfway to close the first contact; for high speed, push it all the way to close the second contact.
Switches with a three-prong outlet allow you to plug your device directly into the switch. You can power both the switch and the device with a single wall outlet—no wiring needed.
Optional guards prevent accidental switch actuation.

Safe for use in wet locations, these switches are IP and NEMA rated for protection from corrosion, washdowns, and oil/coolant spraying.
Two-speed switches have staged contacts. For slow speed, push the pedal halfway to close the first contact; for high speed, push it all the way to close the second contact.
Switches with an oversized guard accommodate bulky footwear.
Switches with a safety lever prevent accidental activation; the lever must be pushed forward before pressing the pedal.

Step on these switches to actuate a process hands-free in an area with frequent washdowns. Rated NEMA 6P, 13, and IP68, they protect against corrosion, washdowns, temporary submersion, and oil/coolant spraying. Made of aluminum, they resist corrosion better than iron and steel switches.
Switches without a guard let you easily see the pedal and step on it from many angles.
Switches with a guard shield the pedal from getting accidentally pressed down.

These switches are rated for environments where hazardous material is present. Press the pedal with your foot for hands-free operation. They have an oversized guard that accommodates bulky footwear.
Hazardous location environmental ratings indicate whether manufacturers have included safety features in products to facilitate their safe use in a hazardous environment. Before selecting a product for a hazardous location, ensure it is rated for your environment. See About Hazardous Location Environmental Ratings.

When the pedal is pressed, the built-in potentiometer adjusts the resistance to vary the speed for motor drives. These switches can be wired to either increase or decrease the current when actuated. All are rated NEMA 4 and 13 for protection from washdowns and oil/coolant spraying.

Build-Your-Own Air-Actuated Foot Switches
Combine a foot-pedal actuator with a switching mechanism to build a complete switch that allows for convenient, hands-free operation. These switches use air pressure to turn circuits on or off, keeping live electrical circuits away from work areas.

Two-Speed Two-Action Foot-Operated Air Directional Control Valves
![](/prerenderstable/mvPRE/contents/gfx/imagecache/308/3088t4-@halfx_636880606659231030.png?ver=imagenotfound)
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. Operate them with your foot, leaving your hands free to perform other tasks. Valves direct airflow from the inlet to your equipment and exhaust return airflow to create motion. The foot guard prevents accidental valve operation. Also known as 4-way and 5/2 valves.
Valves with a foot return actuation stay actuated and go back to their original position only when you step on them again.
Flow coefficient (Cv) is a measurement that indicates how much airflow can pass through a valve.

Foot-Operated Air On/Off Valves
Turn airflow on and off with your foot to keep your hands free to perform other tasks. Step on the valve to allow airflow; release the valve to stop the flow. The nonskid base prevents the valve from slipping.
Flow coefficient (Cv) is a measurement that indicates how much airflow can pass through a valve.
Optional guards prevent accidental valve actuation. Those that are 6 1/4” high can accommodate safety footwear.
