Foot Switch

Foot switch is a switch that controls the on and off of a circuit by stepping on or stepping on it. The foot pedal switch is used in a control circuit that cannot be touched by both hands to replace both hands to achieve the purpose of operation. ATO.com offers the foot pedal switch of 250V rated voltage, rated current 10A/ 15A can be chosen, action force 0.7kg/ 1.2kg/ 3.2kg for selection. Foot switch has advantages of light weight, simple operation and long service life. Foot pedal switches are widely used in medical equipment, stamping equipment, welding equipment, textile equipment, and printing machinery.

What is a Foot Switch?

The foot switch is a switch that operates the circuit by stepping on or stepping on it, and can also be used to control the size of the output current. The foot switch is a switch that controls the on-off of the circuit by stepping on or stepping on it. It is used in the control circuit that cannot be touched by both hands to replace the hands to achieve the purpose of operation. Foot switches can be either momentary or latching.

Foot pedal switches are well used throughout various industries. Common applications include medical equipment, stamping machines, soldering machines, sewing machines, printing machinery and other facilities where a hand control or hand switch is not accessible.

How does a Foot Switch Work?

A simple foot switch is actually a built-in travel switch. The working principle of the foot switch is that when the foot pedal gives a signal, the switch is executed. But in the field of welding, the function of the foot switch also plays the role of controlling the output current. This type of foot switch can also be divided into two categories:

• Mechanical foot switch
• Inductive foot switch

The mechanical foot switch is a traditional rack and pinion drive, and the induction type is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction.
