Light-Push Palm Buttons

PALM BUTTON ASSEMBLIES

To meet OSHA and ANSI safety requirements, the two run/inch buttons must be protected against accidental operation (with ring guards) and they must be separated to require the use of both hands to operate them. They must also be mounted at the proper safety distance if they will be used as a point-of-operation safeguard. These light-push palm button assemblies can be used instead of the standard palm button assemblies when a lighter push is required.

The run/inch palm buttons are constructed of zinc die cast and have a flat plunger. The palm button cover plate has a solid neoprene gasket which provides an oil-tight seal upon installation.
