What is a Pneumatic Switch?

A pneumatic switch is defined as a switch used on an assistive technology device which uses a “sip” or “puff” of air to activate. Many of our pneumatic switches are used on patient handling machines and within the medical industry.

Pneumatic products offer a safe way of switching electrically in wet/hazardous environments.
