Maxwell P19006 Covered Footswitch (Black)

The Maxwell P19006 Covered Footswitch in black is a heavy-duty pneumatic control device engineered for mobile mechanics, vehicle restoration shops, and industrial technicians who rely on air-powered tools and equipment. This footswitch serves as the primary activation interface for pneumatic systems mounted on work vehicles, compressor units, and automotive service bays, allowing hands-free operation while managing tools, parts, or component positioning. Built for demanding workshop environments, it bridges the gap between operator control and pneumatic power delivery in both 12V and 24V electrical configurations.

This footswitch features UV-stabilized, weather-resistant construction with a sealed diaphragm design that protects internal contacts from moisture, dust, and shop contaminants—critical in environments where compressed air systems are frequently flushed or where humidity levels spike. The unit is rated at 200 amps, accommodating high-draw pneumatic solenoids and valve circuits without degradation or contact arcing. Nickel-plated copper contacts ensure low electrical resistance and long service life, even under frequent cycling typical of pneumatic brake service, tool actuation, or crane and lift control applications. Compact dimensions (7 × 3 × 9 inches) allow integration into tight footwell spaces or pedal clusters on service vehicles and stationary equipment.

Mechanics and fleet technicians benefit from this footswitch when operating pneumatic lift gates, air brake testers, sandblasting systems, or shop-mounted pneumatic presses—any scenario where foot control frees both hands for tool operation or part manipulation. The included mounting hardware and instructions simplify installation on work benches, lift platforms, or directly into vehicle cabins. Its dual voltage compatibility (12V or 24V) makes it suitable for both light-duty mobile units and heavy industrial truck air systems, ensuring a single product solution across diverse fleet and workshop applications.
