A foot pedal valve is a manually operated pneumatic valve that the operator presses with a foot, leaving both hands free to load parts or guide work. It is used to control clamps, presses, jigs, riveting and assembly tools, and other workstation equipment driven by compressed air. All the valves on this page have BSP 1/4 inch connections.
The way type sets the function. A 3/2 way valve (TG23J-08) has three ports and two positions, so it switches air on to one outlet and exhausts it when released. It suits single-acting cylinders and air tools. The 4/2 way (TG24J-08) and 5/2 way (TG25J-08) valves have two outlets that alternate between pressure and exhaust, so they drive a double-acting cylinder out and back. A 5/2 valve has separate exhausts for each outlet, while a 4/2 valve shares one.
Four 5/2 way versions are listed. Beyond the standard pedal, the lock version (TG25J-08L) holds the valve in its operated position, so the operator does not have to keep their foot down. The guard version (TG25J-08G) has a cover over the pedal to reduce the chance of accidental operation. The lock and guard version (TG25J-08LG) combines both features.
Consider whether a guard is needed as part of your machine risk assessment. Expand a row for details, then request a quote from Valvenok's UK team.
