Why Choose the Lovato KGD004S Two-Pedal Plastic Foot Switch?
The Lovato KGD004S 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 combines two independently operated pedals in one robust assembly for applications requiring separate foot-operated machine functions.
The KGD004S provides different contact arrangements for its two pedals, with 1 normally open + 1 normally closed (1NO + 1NC) contact set for one pedal and 2 normally open + 2 normally closed (2NO + 2NC) contacts for the other. This provides additional circuit flexibility for control, sequencing, signalling and interlocking functions.
Constructed as a double plastic pedal assembly, the KGD004S is designed for industrial environments where operators need to control machinery while keeping both hands available for handling tools, materials or workpieces. The “S” version is supplied with protective pedal covers, providing additional physical protection around the foot-operated controls.
Key Advantages
- Two-pedal foot switch enables control of separate machine functions from one assembly.
- One pedal provides 1NO + 1NC contacts.
- Second pedal provides 2NO + 2NC contacts for additional switching flexibility.

Flexible Dual-Pedal Control for Industrial Machinery
Dual-pedal foot switches provide operators with two separate foot-operated controls while leaving both hands free for handling workpieces, tools or materials. This arrangement is particularly useful on production machinery, machine tools and assembly equipment where multiple control functions need to be available at the operator's feet.
The Lovato KGD004S offers greater circuit flexibility by combining 1NO + 1NC switching on one pedal with 2NO + 2NC switching on the other. Its snap-action contacts provide positive switching, while the protective pedal covers make the assembly suitable for appropriately designed industrial machine-control installations.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery requiring two foot-operated control functions.
- Assembly and production equipment.
- Machine tools and fabrication machinery.
- Packaging and processing equipment.
- Manufacturing workstations.
- Material handling machinery.
- OEM machinery and automation systems.
- Control, sequencing, signalling and machine-cycle circuits.
