Whether you need a complete pneumatic foot switch kit for an existing machine or a custom pneumatic switching assembly for integration into your equipment, PresAir offers flexible solutions to meet your requirements.
Our pneumatic foot switch systems use an air signal to remotely activate an electrical switch, allowing equipment to be controlled through a foot-operated pedal without requiring an electrical connection at the pedal itself.

Complete Pneumatic Foot Switch Kits
PresAir complete pneumatic foot switch kits provide a convenient solution for applications requiring foot-operated electrical control.
Designed for customers who need a ready-to-connect switching system, these kits combine the essential components needed to operate compatible electrical equipment using a pneumatic foot pedal.
A typical complete kit includes:
- Pneumatic foot pedal: Generates an air signal when the pedal is pressed.
- Pneumatic tubing: Transfers the air signal from the pedal to the switching device.
- Air switch converter box: Converts the pneumatic signal into an electrical switching action.
- Electrical connection: Connects the switching system to compatible equipment.
Pneumatic Footswitch Product Details
Presair’s pneumatic foot switch system provides hands-free on/off control for equipment rated up to 15 amps. The system includes 10 feet of air tubing, allowing remote operation of router tables, scroll saws, benchtop sanders, grinders & other stationary tools. The foot pedal connects to an air switch converter box, which plugs into a grounded outlet. The equipment plugs into the converter box, enabling air-actuated power control when the pedal is pressed.
The system supports remote operation from distances up to 100 feet and is simple to install. The pneumatic foot pedal includes an internal air bellow that sends a pulse of air through tubing to the air switch, isolating the user from electrical current.
Presair also supplies electric foot pedals, offering a low-profile solution for applications requiring direct-wired switching at lower cost.
