1. What Is a Pneumatic Foot Switch?​

A pneumatic foot switch is a foot-operated device that controls machinery using compressed air, not electricity. It eliminates electrical sparks, making it safe for volatile environments. SHUYI’s model combines reliability and precision for hands-free industrial control.​

2. How It Works​

SHUYI’s pneumatic foot switch operates through simple pneumatic mechanics:​

• Air Pressure Trigger: Pressing the pedal releases compressed air through tubes, activating connected equipment.​

• Spring Reset: The pedal returns to its original position when released, cutting off air flow instantly.​

• No Electrical Parts: Reduces fire risks in areas with flammable gases or dust.​

3. Key Advantages​

• Explosion-Proof Safety: Suitable for oil refineries and chemical plants, where electric switches pose risks.​

• Durable in Harsh Conditions: Resists water, dust, and corrosion, lasting 3x longer than electric switches in wet environments.​

• Adjustable Sensitivity: Customize pedal pressure (2–5kg) to match operator comfort and task needs.​

4. Ideal Applications​

Perfect for environments requiring safe, contactless control:​

• Automotive Workshops: Triggers paint sprayers without electric sparks, preventing paint fume ignition.​

• Mining Operations: Controls conveyor belts in dusty tunnels, avoiding dust explosion hazards.​

• Food Processing: Operates packaging machines in wet areas, resisting water and cleaning chemicals.​

5. Why Choose SHUYI’s Model?​

• High-Quality Materials: Aluminum alloy housing and nitrile rubber seals withstand extreme temperatures (-20°C to 80°C).​

• Easy Integration: Compatible with standard air compressors (0.3–0.8MPa), requiring minimal setup.​

• Ergonomic Design: Non-slip pedal reduces foot fatigue during 8-hour shifts in factories.​

6. Installation & Maintenance Tips​

• Connect to air hoses with proper diameter (8–12mm) to ensure quick response.​

• Lubricate internal valves quarterly to prevent air leakage, which reduces efficiency by 20%.​

• Test pressure settings monthly; too low pressure causes delayed activation in heavy machinery.
