Stainless Steel Push Button Enclosures

Stainless steel push button enclosures are protective cases or boxes that are designed to house push buttons, pilot lights and switches and other control components made from stainless steel. These enclosures are commonly used in industrial and commercial applications where control of machinery or other equipment is necessary, and where a high level of protection against environmental hazards is required.
Stainless steel push button enclosures are typically made from high-quality stainless steel alloys, such as 304 or 316, to ensure they can withstand the harsh conditions of industrial environments. They are available in a range of sizes, shapes, and designs to accommodate different types and sizes of push buttons, pilot lights and switches.
These enclosures typically feature a hinged or removable cover that provides easy access to the controls within. They may also feature mounting brackets or holes to secure the enclosure to a wall, panel, or other surface.

FAQs
What is the NEMA type for stainless steel push button enclosures?
Stainless steel push button enclosures are available in a range of NEMA types, depending on the specific requirements of the application. Stainless steel push button enclosures typically have a NEMA 4X rating, which means they provide a high level of protection against water, dust, and corrosive substances.
Does stainless steel push button enclosure come with a door?
Yes, stainless steel push button enclosures typically come with a door that provides access to the controls inside. The door is usually hinged and may have a locking mechanism to secure the enclosure.
Stainless Steel Enclosures: Type 304 vs 316
304 Stainless Steel
304 stainless steel contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel. It is the most widely used stainless steel within industrial applications. 304 stainless steel resists corrosion and oxidizing agents, which can cause rusting. However, it can tarnish. 304 stainless steel is very strong and can be bent without decreasing the strength, but it can be difficult to manipulate. Because of its corrosive resistance, 304 stainless steel enclosures are commonly used in dairy plants, mills, bakeries, and many other food processing industries.
316 Stainless Steel
316 stainless steel This is a much higher grade of stainless steel containing 16% chromium, 10% nickel and 2% molybdenum, which significantly increases its resistance to pitting and cracking. It has increased corrosive resistance to chloride pollutants, such as salt. 316 stainless steel enclosures are ideal for areas there may have a high salt content, such as coastal areas and areas that use de-icing salts. This type of stainless steel is much more resistant to chemical environments that include sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid or many other chemicals. These types of stainless steel enclosures can be found in areas with high levels of corrosive agents, such as water, wastewater, chemical plants and fertilizer plants. Both 304 and 316 stainless steel enclosures are NEMA 4X rated due to their corrosion resistance, however it is important to remember to never use any chemicals that contain chlorine.
