As with all types of pneumatic valves and switches, the push button switch is used to control the flow of air through a pneumatic system. While these types of systems can be found in many types of automated equipment and production, they are also found on range of pneumatic devices and equipment used in dental offices and at workstations where compressed air is used.
The choice of a pneumatic push button switch is ideal for on and off control of the flow of air through the system. These types of switches and valves can be designed to be panel mounted, for specific control in fixed locations, or they can be designed without the need for a panel mount, making them flexible as to the best location for installation. They can also have a variety of different connections at the ports, allowing for easy installation and replacement.
Swivel Advantages
There are different designs, including standard types of straight pneumatic push button switch options, and these are commonly used for panel mount types of applications. Swivel push button valves can be an advantage when there is a need to have free movement of the base of the valve.
In addition to this design difference, these valves and switches can be exhausting or non-exhausting, and they can also be designed for two or three-way flow through the valve. Generally, the design of the pneumatic push button switch is normally closed, which allows the user to simply push the button on the switch to move between closed and open positions for precision control of the flow of air through the valve.
