Special Benefits that Come from Using Push Buttons

For years, Allen Bradley has dedicated its research to developing newer and better push buttons, and now they come with better features and suit more applications. Their push buttons, such as Allen-Bradley 800G-F5 800G, are designed to match the fingers of users to make machine operations easy. Again, the buttons are small so that they can be fitted and work even in compact areas. Other benefits of using Allen Bradley push buttons include:

• Due to their small size, they only occupy a small fraction of the main or machine switchboard.
• Once installed, Allen Bradley push buttons like Allen-Bradley 800T-NGCY
   are very firm and easy to use.
• Push buttons are quite cheaper in comparison to regular switches.
• The buttons have a high resistance to high voltages. This is critical for lowering or eliminating short circuit risks.
• Since they are firmly attached to the machine, switchboard, or wall, the buttons are more secure and will not be stolen easily.
• All Spare parts of Allen Bradley push buttons are readily available with us at POWERPRO.

Common Applications of Push Buttons:

Due to the obvious expanding industrial processes, Allen Bradley's effort to build new push buttons could not have come at a better moment. Push buttons would work well in any facility that has an electric motor or a milling machine. Common applications for Allen Bradley push buttons include:

• You can use the push buttons to control the warehouse loading racks
• The buttons will come in handy for controlling the industrial conveyor belt systems.
• They work excellently with industrial robots.
• Go for top push buttons for sliding doors controls.

• To reduce the risk of being stolen, go for a model that is well-made.
• The push button should be waterproof if it will be used outside or in a harsh environment.
