Explore Our Soft Pneumatic Foot Pedal Designs
PresAir offers three styles of soft pneumatic foot pedals to accommodate different equipment designs, operating environments and space requirements.
B350 Series – Low-Profile Soft Foot Pedal
The B350 Series provides a low-profile pneumatic foot pedal design for applications where a compact actuator is preferred.
Constructed from flexible PVC, the pedal compresses when activated to generate an air signal that travels through connected tubing to a remote air switch.
Features:
- Low-profile flexible PVC construction
- Compact design for space-conscious applications
- Pneumatic operation with remote electrical switching
- Standard and custom tubing configurations
- Available in multiple part number configurations
- B350BA Series IPX8-rated option
The B350BA Series is particularly useful for applications where water exposure is an important consideration.
F800 Series – Heavy-Duty Soft Foot Pedal
The F800 Series provides a flexible PVC pneumatic foot pedal solution for applications requiring a larger, heavy-duty soft pedal design.
Its flexible construction allows the pedal to generate an air signal when compressed by foot or hand, providing versatile actuation for compatible pneumatic switching systems.
Features:
- Flexible PVC construction
- Heavy-duty soft pedal design
- Foot or hand operation
- Multiple tubing and part number configurations
- Compatible with PresAir pneumatic air switching systems
- Available for complete foot switch and OEM applications
The F800 Series is a versatile option for industrial equipment, medical devices and custom equipment integration.
B415 Series – Compact Soft Pneumatic Air Bellow
The B415 Series offers a smaller, compact pneumatic air bellow for applications where space and actuator size are important design considerations.
Its flexible construction generates an air signal when compressed, allowing a connected air switch to control equipment remotely.
Features:
- Compact flexible PVC construction
- Small-footprint pneumatic actuator
- Pneumatic operation without electrical switching at the point of actuation
- Available with different connection configurations, including rear-entry tubing options
- Suitable for specialized OEM applications
The B415 Series is an option for manufacturers looking to incorporate a compact pneumatic actuator into their equipment.

Soft Pneumatic Foot Pedal Applications
PresAir soft pneumatic foot pedals are used in a variety of applications where remote, foot-operated control is beneficial.
Medical and Laboratory Equipment
Pneumatic foot controls can provide hands-free operation for compatible medical and laboratory equipment, allowing operators to control devices while keeping their hands available for other tasks.
Industrial Machinery
Soft pneumatic pedals can be integrated into compatible industrial equipment, workstations and manufacturing processes requiring foot-operated activation.
Industrial Cleaning Equipment
Pneumatic foot pedals can provide remote equipment control in applications where moisture exposure and electrical isolation are important considerations.
Water-Exposed Applications
The B350BA IPX8-rated pedal offers a specific option for applications requiring a waterproof actuator. Confirm the rating and suitability of the complete system for the intended installation.
Why Choose a Soft Pneumatic Foot Pedal?
Soft pneumatic foot pedals provide several advantages for equipment manufacturers and end users.
Flexible Construction
Flexible PVC construction allows the pedal to compress under foot or hand pressure, providing a versatile actuation method.
Remote Electrical Switching
The pneumatic pedal generates an air signal rather than directly switching electrical power. The connected air switch performs the electrical switching remotely.
Multiple Design Options
With low-profile, heavy-duty and compact configurations, PresAir offers several options to accommodate different equipment requirements.
Water-Exposure Options
The PresAir B350BA Series is IPX8 rated, making it an option for applications requiring a specifically rated waterproof pneumatic actuator. Other pedal models should be evaluated according to their individual specifications.
OEM Customization
PresAir offers product configuration options to support manufacturers with unique equipment requirements, including tubing lengths, colors, connections and private branding.
Find the Right Soft Pneumatic Foot Pedal
Whether you need a low-profile B350, compact B415 or heavy-duty F800 soft foot pedal, PresAir can help identify the appropriate pneumatic actuator for your application.
