Why Choose the Lovato KR100S11S Single-Pedal Metal Foot Switch?
The Lovato KR100S11S is a robust single-pedal industrial foot switch designed for hands-free control of machinery and equipment. Featuring a durable metal construction and 1NO+1NC snap-action contacts, it provides dependable switching for industrial control circuits where operators need to activate machinery while keeping their hands available for other tasks.
Part of the Lovato Electric K series foot switch range, this configuration uses an aluminium-zinc alloy housing and free pedal actuation. The snap-action contact mechanism provides rapid changeover between the normally open and normally closed contacts, making the foot switch suitable for repetitive machine-control duties.
The KR100 platform features a 10 A conventional thermal current, 440 V rated insulation voltage and A300/Q300 IEC utilisation designation. An M20 cable entry and self-releasing screw terminals simplify connection, while the metal housing provides IP54 protection for industrial environments.
