Air-Actuated Relays
Also known as an air-to-electric switch, this relay converts an air signal to an electric signal. Use it to actuate solenoid valves and other electric components from your pneumatic control system.

Air-Actuated Foot Switches
Press these switches with your foot for convenient, hands-free operation. They use air pressure to turn circuits on or off, keeping live electrical circuits away from work areas. Use the three-prong outlet to plug a device directly into the switch.
