Industrial Push Buttons

Industrial push buttons are fundamental components of industrial control systems, providing a direct and reliable interface for operating machinery and processes. RSP Supply carries a comprehensive selection of industrial push buttons designed for safety, durability, and consistent performance. Available options include emergency stop switches, mushroom head push buttons, selector switches, and illuminated designs used across manufacturing, automation, and process control applications.
These push-button switches are purpose-built to withstand demanding industrial conditions such as vibration, dust, moisture, and temperature extremes. Many designs feature modular construction with interchangeable contact blocks, allowing panel builders to configure control functions to match specific application requirements. Illuminated push buttons and integrated indicator lights enhance visibility and operator awareness, supporting safer operation and clearer system feedback.
Industrial push buttons are offered in a range of materials, including plastic and metal housings, to suit environmental exposure and mechanical requirements. When properly installed with compatible accessories and rated components, these devices help maintain enclosure protection levels such as NEMA 4. Along with selector switches, pilot lights, signaling devices, and non-illuminated push buttons, industrial push buttons remain essential elements in modern automation and control panel design.
