Why Choose the Lovato KGD008P Three-Pedal Plastic Foot Switch?
The Lovato KGD008P is a robust three-pedal industrial foot switch designed for reliable hands-free control of machinery, production equipment and automation systems. Part of the Lovato K series of limit, micro and foot switches, it combines three independent foot-operated controls within a durable plastic enclosure for applications requiring multiple machine commands.
This foot switch features a 3NO + 3NC contact arrangement, providing normally open and normally closed switching functions for flexible integration into industrial control circuits. The three-pedal configuration enables operators to perform multiple control actions while keeping both hands available for positioning workpieces, handling tools or carrying out other production tasks.
The KGD008P incorporates a durable polymer thermoplastic housing and PG13.5 cable entry for practical industrial installation. Its robust switching mechanism and electrical characteristics make it suitable for repetitive operation in machine building, manufacturing, assembly and process-control environments.

Reliable Hands-Free Control for Industrial Machinery
Foot switches such as the Lovato KGD008P allow machine operators to issue electrical control commands using their feet, leaving both hands free for handling materials, tools and workpieces. Depressing a pedal changes the state of the associated contacts, allowing commands to be transmitted to contactors, relays, PLC inputs and other industrial control equipment.
The three-pedal configuration makes the KGD008P particularly useful for machinery requiring several independently operated commands from one foot-control station. Its durable construction, versatile contact arrangement and industrial electrical characteristics support dependable integration into production, assembly and OEM automation systems.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery and production equipment.
- Assembly and manufacturing workstations.
- Machine tools and fabrication equipment.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Material handling and production systems.
- OEM automation and machine-control applications.
