Dual Pedal
Foot Switches
Controlling two functions without lifting a hand requires a dual pedal footswitch built for precision. Linemaster designs each two-pedal foot switch to put two distinct commands under one foot, so operators can switch between actions instantly while their hands stay on instruments, tooling, or workpieces. From electrosurgical control in the operating room to forward-and-reverse operation on the production floor, our dual pedal foot switch models pair rugged construction with dependable, repeatable switching. Explore the complete two pedal foot switch range below.
WHY DUAL PEDAL
Why Choose a Dual Pedal Foot Switch
A 2-pedal foot switch solves a common problem: equipment that needs more than one hands-free command. In medical settings, surgeons and technicians use a dual pedal footswitch to toggle between functions such as cut and coagulate, or to drive imaging and table movement during a procedure. In industrial environments, two pedals control sequences like clamp-and-release or up-and-down without interrupting workflow.
Each Linemaster two pedal foot switch is engineered for heavy use, with protective guards between pedals to prevent accidental activation and sealed housings that withstand tough conditions. Sterile-friendly options serve procedure rooms, while rugged builds handle the demands of the shop floor. Review our medical footswitches and industrial footswitches to match a dual pedal foot switch to your equipment.
Configurations and Customization.
Every application has its own switching needs, so our single pedal foot switch models are available across multiple electrical configurations, including SPDT, DPDT, and SPST options. You can also choose wireless versions to remove cord clutter, or on/off latching action for sustained control.
If a standard 1-pedal foot switch does not match your requirements, our team can adapt cord length, guarding, actuation force, and connectors. Learn more about a tailored custom foot control solution, or contact us to discuss your single foot switch project.
Dual Pedal Footswitch Applications.
A dual pedal footswitch earns its place wherever equipment requires two hands-free commands in quick succession. In medical environments, a two pedal foot switch lets practitioners alternate between functions such as cut and coagulate, or manage imaging and table movement, across surgery, imaging systems, and dental procedures without breaking focus or reaching for a control panel.
Industrial operations benefit just as much. A 2-pedal foot switch handles paired sequences like clamp-and-release, forward-and-reverse, or raise-and-lower, letting a single operator manage a full cycle by foot while keeping both hands on the material. This reduces handling steps and keeps production moving.
Choosing the Right Two Pedal Foot Switch.
Choosing a dual pedal foot switch begins with how the two functions relate to each other. Some applications need momentary action on both pedals, while others combine momentary and latching behavior so one command holds while the other triggers on demand. Defining this early ensures the switch matches your equipment’s logic.
Pedal spacing and guarding deserve equal attention, since the two pedals must be easy to distinguish by foot yet protected against accidental activation. Linemaster produces each two pedal foot switch in our Woodstock, Connecticut facility and can tailor these details to your setup.

Need a single pedal foot switch?
Linemaster engineers each single foot switch to convert a simple foot press into precise on/off or momentary control, keeping hands available for surgical instruments, machine tooling, or material handling.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a dual pedal footswitch used for?
A dual pedal footswitch lets an operator control two separate functions with the foot, keeping both hands free. It is common in electrosurgery, medical imaging, and industrial equipment that needs two hands-free commands such as forward and reverse.
How is a two pedal foot switch different from a single pedal model?
A two pedal foot switch offers two pedals for two distinct actions, while a single pedal model controls just one function. The dual setup suits equipment that requires switching between commands during operation.
Can a dual pedal foot switch be customized for specific equipment?
Yes. Linemaster customizes pedal spacing, guarding, sealing, electrical configuration, and connectors so a dual pedal foot switch integrates with your medical or industrial system.
