Mushroom Head Push Buttons

A mushroom-head control push button is a button whose head is markedly wider than its body, so it can be pressed comfortably with the palm or a gloved hand. It is used for start or stop commands on presses, conveyors and packaging machines that the operator needs to reach quickly without looking. The category offers spring-return, maintained and key-operated types with a 22 mm mounting diameter and 40 mm head in red, black, green and yellow, with 1NO or 1NC contacts, in plastic and metal housings, from the brands EMAS, Isıso and Gwest. Select the head diameter, spring-return or maintained operating mode, contact type, color and housing material according to the command the button will give. A spring-return mushroom-head button should not be confused with an emergency stop button, which locks when pressed; for the emergency stop function, see the emergency stop buttons category.
