What are push buttons used for?
Push buttons are widely used in industrial applications thanks to their superior functionality compared to conventional switches. They can connect to mechanical applications via linkages, enabling more versatile operations than standard on/off switches. From controlling motors and machinery to activating safety systems, push buttons are an essential element of modern automation.
Types of push button switches:
- Single Pole, Single Throw (SPST): Basic switch with two terminals to open or close one circuit (e.g., start/stop a motor).
- Single Pole, Double Throw (SPDT): Switch with three terminals, allowing control of two circuits (e.g., switching between two LEDs or operational modes).
- Double Pole, Single Throw (DPST): Controls two separate circuits simultaneously with a single action.
- Double Pole, Double Throw (DPDT): Controls two circuits, each with two positions, offering maximum versatility.
Applications of push buttons:
- Starting and stopping industrial motors and machines
- Controlling conveyor systems and production lines
- Switching operational modes in manufacturing equipment
- Integration with pilot lights and indicators for operator feedback
- Emergency stop and safety functions in industrial environments
