Foot Switch

A foot switch, sometimes called a “stomp” switch, is operated by someone stepping on the actuator, which is typically a pushbutton or a pedal. The advantage of using a foot switch is simply that it frees up a person’s hands for other work while still allowing a human operator full control over switching.

Foot switches are used for hands-free switching. You may consider getting foot switches for any application where having “hands-free” switching would be helpful.
