Foot Pedals are foot-operated control devices used to activate, modulate, or deactivate specific hydraulic functions. They are often integrated into foot-operated hydraulic pumps, where manual actuation generates the high pressure required for hydraulic heads (for example, for shearing or crimping).
In the context of controls, hydraulic pedals convert pressure on the pedal into a pilot pressure signal or an electrical signal (via integrated solenoid valves), gradually controlling machine functions or on/off switching.
They are ideal for applications where the operator’s hands must remain free.
