Foot pedals function as electro‑mechanical components used to generate proportional or digital control signals as part of machine and equipment control systems. The movement of the pedal is converted by the measuring system into a controlled electrical output signal, which can be used to regulate parameters such as speed, motion, or the activation of specific functions. The solution is particularly well suited for industrial and mobile applications where precise and reliable control is required without the use of hand‑operated control devices.
Our product range includes industrial foot pedals from well‑known manufacturers such as FSG, designed to withstand demanding operating conditions and high mechanical loads. Foot pedals typically utilize non‑contact magnetic measuring principles, enabling wear‑free operation, accurate signal output, and long service life. Several mechanical designs are available, including single pedals, rocker pedals, and accelerator pedal solutions, suitable for different installation methods and application requirements.
Foot pedals are available with various output signals and communication interfaces, including analog voltage and current outputs as well as digital fieldbus solutions such as CANopen and CANopen Safety. A low‑profile, space‑saving design, high protection classes, and redundant measuring systems suitable for safety‑critical applications ensure reliable operation even in harsh industrial environments. These features allow foot pedals to be flexibly integrated into both new and existing control and automation systems. Our strong product expertise helps ensure that the most technically and functionally suitable foot pedal solution is selected for each application.
