Why Choose the Lovato KGD003S Two-Pedal Plastic Foot Switch?
The Lovato KGD003S is a two-pedal plastic foot switch designed for hands-free control of industrial machinery and equipment. Part of the Lovato K series of limit, micro and foot switches, it provides two distinct foot-operated controls within a robust assembly for applications where operators need to keep their hands free for handling workpieces, tools or materials.
The KGD003S combines a left pedal with free operation and a right pedal fitted with a safety lever. Its snap-action switching mechanism and 1 normally open + 1 normally closed (1NO + 1NC) contact configuration provide complementary switching functions for machine-control and signalling circuits.
Constructed with plastic pedals and supplied with protective pedal covers, the KGD003S is designed for demanding industrial operating environments. The two-pedal arrangement makes it particularly useful where separate machine functions need to be controlled from a single floor-mounted operator station.
Key Advantages
- Two-pedal foot switch provides convenient hands-free control of industrial equipment.
- Left pedal with free operation for straightforward foot actuation.
- Right pedal with safety lever helps prevent unintended operation.
- 1NO + 1NC contact configuration provides complementary switching functions.
- Snap-action switching provides positive and repeatable contact operation.
- Durable plastic construction suitable for industrial applications.
- Protective pedal covers provide additional physical protection around the operators.
- Allows operators to control machinery while keeping both hands available for other tasks.

Flexible Two-Pedal Control for Industrial Machinery
Two-pedal foot switches allow an operator to control separate machine functions without removing their hands from a workpiece, tool or material. This arrangement can improve operating convenience on production, assembly and machine-tool equipment where coordinated hand and foot operation is required.
The Lovato KGD003S combines two differently configured pedals in one assembly. The free-operating left pedal provides direct foot control, while the safety-lever-equipped right pedal requires a more deliberate operating action. Together with snap-action 1NO + 1NC contacts, this provides a versatile interface for appropriately designed industrial control circuits.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery requiring hands-free operator control.
- Assembly and production equipment.
- Machine tools and fabrication machinery.
- Packaging and processing equipment.
- Material handling systems.
- Manufacturing workstations.
- OEM machinery and automation systems.
- Applications requiring two foot-operated machine-control functions.
