Here at Presair, we’re happy to provide a cross-reference guide for both ours and a couple of our competitor’s foot pedal air actuators. This guide is designed to assist you in comparing our products with those of notable competitors Herga, RS, and Tecmark. Click here to learn more about our line of foot pedal air actuators.
Presair’s foot pedal air actuators are pneumatic footswitches. These pneumatic pedals create shockproof, explosion proof and waterproof system as there is no voltage at the point of actuation. When the foot pedal is pressed it sends a pulse of air through a tube to our air switch which then operates a piece of equipment. Presair offers three different styles of foot pedal air actuators – hard, soft & electric.
This article focuses on Herga’s 6431 / 6439, 6448, 62 series, RS PRO 316945, and Tecmark PT Series – Heavy Duty and PT Series – Light Duty. If you currently utilize one of these series and are exploring alternatives or seeking a precise cross-reference, this guide is tailored to you. Whether you’re an experienced technical professional or navigating the technical details of sequencing foot pedal air actuators, our cross-reference guide is designed to streamline your decision-making process, ensuring a precise match for your specific technical requirements.
