Criteria for selecting control buttons and switches

Selecting the right control elements requires taking into account many factors. Defining the application requirements is key. The operating conditions of the devices must be taken into account. Resistance to moisture, dust and extreme temperatures is important. The IP protection level is also important.

In our daily practice we see how important ergonomics and intuitive operation are.   Buttons should be easy to use even when wearing work gloves. The legibility of markings and possible backlighting are also important. These features affect safety and work efficiency.

Another aspect is mechanical and electrical durability. Buttons in industrial applications must withstand thousands of switching cycles. We select products with appropriate electrical parameters. We take into account the rated voltage and current as well as the category of use.

Practical applications of control buttons and switches

Control buttons and switches are widely used in industry. They are used in production lines, CNC machines and automation systems. They are used to start and stop processes. They allow the selection of device operating modes.

We recently implemented a comprehensive solution in a project for a large manufacturing plant.   The system included control buttons, emergency stops and operating mode switches. We integrated them with the central control system. The result was a significant improvement in ergonomics and work safety.

In the case of office reorganization, illuminated buttons are most often used. They are used to control lighting and other systems. Their intuitive operation and aesthetic appearance meet customer expectations. Additionally, switches with status indication facilitate energy management.

Onninen recommends using emergency buttons at critical points. They enable machines to be stopped quickly in emergency situations. They are a key element of safety systems in industrial plants. Their proper selection and placement can prevent many accidents.

Many customers ask us about solutions for modernizing older installations. In such cases, universal buttons and switches are useful. They can be easily integrated with existing systems. We offer products compatible with various industry standards.

Our experience shows that the comprehensiveness of the offer is key.   That is why, in addition to buttons and switches, we also supply other elements. In our assortment, you will find valves, cast iron inlets and flanges. Thanks to this, we can meet the various needs of our customers.
