Foot air pedal
Use: Remote hand free operation of air switches. Even in wet or hazardous environments, this pneumatic foot air pedal safely isolates the user operating power tools and other electrical devices from the electrical current. The foot air pedal provide the pulse air pressure needed to operate a remote air switch.

Use: Remote hand free operation of air switches. Even in wet or hazardous environments, this pneumatic foot air pedal safely isolates the user operating power tools and other electrical devices from the electrical current. The foot air pedal provide the pulse air pressure needed to operate a remote air switch
Two switching logics are possible, depending of the air switch used:
- Momentary Switching: Press and hold for on, release for off
- Alternate Action Switching: Press for on, press again for off
Typical applications: Electrical equipment remote operating of electrical devices on/off including motors, lights, pumps, air blowers, or other associated
Operating distance: With appropriate tubing, these foot air pedals can operate air switches from distances of up to 30 meters (100 feet.)
Air volume: 55 cm3
Accidental actuation prevention: By steel strong shroud, 1.2 mm thickness. Anti-skid protection is provided by 4 rubber feet.
Standard Color: Foot shroud: orange epoxy painting. Any other color can be made with MOQ (consult factory). Stainless steel foot shroud on request.
Bellow material: Strong, rubber No micro leak to avoid pump- ing action with air switches.
Tube connection: Spout for 3×6 mm flexible PVC or rubber tubing (1/8” I.D), with tube securing nut to avoid accidental tubing disconnection.
Mechanical life: > 100.000 cycles
Ambient temperature: -20+60°C

Absolute pressure, barometric pressure,negative pressure, differential pressure
Although pressure is an absolute value, the current measures pressure, are usually made relative to ambient air pressure. In other cases, the measurements are compared to vacuum. This leads to confusion and errors. -
Differences between air switches and pressure switches
Pressure switches are used to control the pressure of a medium and operate an electrical device. When pressure rises to the set point value, they switch off the equipment or switch on an alarm. Fluid they control can be air or water. There is no barometric or ambient temperature compensation in pressure switches. -
Electrical contacts
As numerous mechanisms exist, we decided not to distinguish on the basis of constructive technique, but according to their operation speed, which is the key element. -
Technical foreword of elastomeric membrane pressure switches
The pressure switches of this catalogue are made according to the flexible elastomeric membrane technology. The pressure applied deforms the membrane which then actuates an electrical contact.
