Pushbuttons and Pilot Devices Overview
Pushbuttons
Pushbuttons are mechanical devices designed to activate or deactivate an electrical circuit when operated. They are available in various colors and operator options, including:
- Flush or extended operator
- Momentary or maintained action
- Round and rectangular operators available
- Non-illuminated or illuminated
- 16mm, 22mm, or 30mm mounting dimensions
Emergency Stop Pushbuttons
Emergency stop pushbuttons provide for one-push emergency equipment shutdown to protect personnel and machinery when dangerous conditions arise. Mushroom heads offer a large target operator with various options, including:
- Keyed or twist-release action
- Opaque or illuminated
- 16mm, 22mm, or 30mm mounting dimensions
Mushroom Head Pushbuttons
Mushroom pushbuttons' oversized operators offer a large target to allow quick and sure activation with a hard-to-miss actuator. Models are available in various colors and options, including:
- Momentary or key-operated action
- Illuminated or non-illuminated
- 22mm or 30mm mounting dimensions
Selector Switches
A selector switch is a mechanical switch that can be turned left or right to open or close one or more electrical circuits. knob, and lever operators. Models are available in various colors and options, including:
- Knob, lever or keyed operator
- Maintained or spring return action
- Illuminated or non-illuminated (depending on operator style)
- 19mm, 22mm, or 30mm mounting dimensions
Start/Stop Combo Switches
Start/Stop combo pushbuttons are reliable, low-cost devices with a convenient double-headed operator ideal for two-way ON/OFF control. Models are available with a variety of options, including:
- Illuminated or non-illuminated
- With or without legend markings
- 22mm mounting dimension
Joysticks
Joystick switches are ideal when the control action may be more easily understood by the physical position of the operator. Models are available with a variety of options, including:
- two- or four-position operators
- momentary or maintained action
- 22mm or 30mm mounting dimensions
Potentiometers
Potentiometers create a variable output based on knob position. Models include 5K ohm or 10K ohm resistance circuits with a rheostat-style output and knob operator, with a 22mm mounting dimension.
Capacitive Switches
Capacitive pushbutton sensor switches detect when a hand or body part nears the device's surface. They feature a robust IP69K design, wear-free operation, resistance to water, oil, and harsh environments, and are available in various mounting/operator sizes.
Pendant Switches
Pushbutton pendants are ergonomically designed hand-held control switches for direct line-of-sight operation in production, material handling, changeovers, cleaning and troubleshooting applications. Rubber switch covers make these devices ideal for demanding environments.
Pneumatic Switches
ECP series pushbutton and switch operators are used with EVP series valve bodies to create manual electro-pneumatic actuators. The operators fit in a 22mm mounting hole and allow various pneumatic valve and ECX series electrical contact block configurations.
Indicating Lights
Indicator lights offer visual signals of machine or operation status. Models are available in various colors and styles, including:
- Inert or push-to-test action
- LED or incandescent bulbs
- Round and rectangular styles
- 16mm, 22mm, or 30mm mounting dimensions
Replacement lamps available for many models.
Legend Plates
Aluminum, brass, or plastic legend plates are available with various markings to accommodate the most common control functions/status; blank plates for custom engraving are also available.
Pushbutton/Switch/Indicator Accessories
Accessories for pilot devices include:
- Contact blocks
- Mounting flanges
- Replacement incandescent and LED lamps
- Specialized tools
- Replacement lenses and operators
Hazardous Location Devices
Hazardous location pilot devices include control stations that contain and extinguish explosions, and prevent the igniting of external hazardous atmospheres by the enclosed arcing device. Models in a variety of pushbutton, pilot light, and switch configurations, in sealed or unsealed assemblies, meet Class I and II, Div 1 & 2 requirements. HazLoc alarm buzzers offer audible indication of equipment status.
Emergency Stop Control Stations
Emergency stop control stations are plastic or IP69K stainless steel housings that enclose large mushroom head pushbuttons for emergency protection of machinery and personnel when potentially harmful conditions occur. Models with LED indicator and protection guards are available.
Start/Stop Combo Control Stations
The Start/Stop combo control station is a reliable, low-cost solution for the simple operation of discrete control elements. The control station is a preassembled unit with enclosure, 22mm-mounted START and STOP pushbuttons and their operating contacts.
Pushbutton Enclosures
Newest Additions!
- More models from Hammond
- Wiegmann stainless steel 22mm-hole models
Pushbutton enclosures house and protect 22mm or 30mm mount pilot devices. Carbon and stainless steel models prevent ingress of dust, water and oil; fiberglass and ABS models are suitable for harsh environments; sanitary models are ideal for applications in food/beverage industries.
Foot Switches
Foot switches are commonly used for applications where hands-free operation is required. Electric and pneumatic manual valve models are available, in a choice of operating actions and physical configurations.
Signaling Devices
Signaling devices provide audible, visual, or audible-visual alarms and status notifications for industrial and commercial processes. These devices include beacons, LED signal columns, buzzers, horns, and audible-visual beacons in various sizes, mounting styles, lighting effects, and sound patterns.
