Schneider Electric Push Buttons

Pilot devices provide control and condition monitoring of different types of processes, equipment and machinery in industrial and commercial applications. They are used for communication from a machine to an operator or from an operator to a machine. Pilot devices can be an audio or visual indicator, or an actuator that is used to control the flow of energy to a process. Visual indicators are: pilot lights, signal towers, strobes and beacons. Audio indictors are: buzzers and sounder horns. Actuators are: push buttons, selector switches, toggle switches and potentiometers.

Push button are most commonly used for switching devices on or off. There are different types of push buttons switches that function in specific ways. Momentary push button switches require continuous compression to keep contact within the circuit and keep the device “on.” Most are used for intermittent user input such as reset or keypad buttons. Latching or maintained push button switches do not require continuous compression and require the user to just press the switch once to turn the device on or off until it is pressed again. 

Schneider Electric Push Buttons are designed specifically for industrial and medical applications in all environments. With unique sealant methods, the push button switches prevent water, oil, and other pollutant interference or contamination. They are built to withstand higher voltage, allowing for greater electrical conductivity. They are available in metal or plastic and in 16, 22, and 30mm sizes.
