Flush-Mount 16 mm Panel-Mount Push-Button Switches

Because these switches mount flush against a panel, they're easy to clean and hard to damage.
Note: Illuminated switches include a bulb. If wiring the switch and the bulb to the same circuit, the circuit voltage must not exceed bulb voltage.
Switches with quick-disconnect terminals are rated IP40 for parts behind the panel, and IP67 for the front of the panel.

16 mm Emergency Stop Panel-Mount Push-Button Switches


Immediately cut power with a single push. These switches meet EN 418 for compliance with European machine directives for emergency stop applications. They're rated NEMA 4, 13, and IP65 for protection from washdowns and oil/coolant spraying.
Key reset switches are keyed alike, so if you buy multiple switches they will all reset with the same key.

16 mm Panel-Mount Lever Switches
Avoid accidental actuation—these switches won’t turn on or off until you grip and twist the lever. Install in a 16 mm dia. cutout. To help users identify switches without having to read labels, use differently colored switches for different tasks. Rated NEMA 4, 13, and IP65, all are protected from washdowns and oil/coolant spraying.
Three-position switches are off in the center position.
Add a bulb (sold separately) to illuminate switches, so they’re easy to see in dim and dark areas. If wiring the switch and the bulb to the same circuit, the circuit voltage must not exceed bulb voltage.
Use removal tools (sold separately) to replace bulbs and contact blocks.
Mounting wrenches (sold separately) make it easier to install switches in crowded panels.

16 mm Panel-Mount Build-Your-Own Plastic Switches
Choose an actuator and contact block to make your own switch. All switches are rated NEMA 4, 13, and IP65 for protection from washdowns and oil/coolant spraying.
Actuators spring back (momentary), but can be wired to stay switched (maintained).
Add a bulb to illuminate actuators. If wiring the switch and the bulb to the same circuit, the circuit voltage must not exceed bulb voltage.
Use removal tools to replace bulbs, lenses, and contact blocks.
Mounting wrenches make it easier to install switches in crowded panels.

Multiple-Position Single-Action Air Directional Control Valves

Control six different outputs from a single source of airflow. These valves have one inlet port and six outlet ports. Push in and rotate the dial to move between outlet ports and send airflow to a different output. Also known as 3-way valves, they create one action, such as extending a cylinder. They direct airflow from the inlet to your equipment and exhaust return airflow to create motion. Return actuation is by hand, so the chosen output remains actuated until you move the dial to another position. Air pressure exhausts to the atmosphere once a new position is selected.
Flow coefficient (Cv) is a measurement that indicates how much airflow can pass through a valve.

Two-Speed Two-Action Air Directional Control Valves

Often used to extend and then retract a cylinder at different speeds, these valves create two actions and have two exhaust ports. They direct airflow from the inlet to your equipment and exhaust return airflow to create motion. Also known as 4-way and 5/2 valves.
Valves with threaded exhaust connection type allow you to control the speed of each action by attaching a flow control valve to each exhaust port.
Valves with hand return actuation stay actuated and return to their original position only when you move the actuator again.
Flow coefficient (Cv) is a measurement that indicates how much airflow can pass through a valve. When selecting between valves with the same port size, choose the valve with the higher flow coefficient to ensure it provides enough airflow to operate your system.

Two-Speed Two-Action Air Directional Control Valves with Exhausting Shut-Off

In the off position, these valves exhaust all air pressure, allowing the equipment to return to the neutral position. Often used to extend and then retract a cylinder at different speeds, they create two actions and have two exhaust ports, which allows you to control the speed of each action by attaching a flow control valve to each exhaust port. They direct airflow from the inlet to your equipment and exhaust return airflow to create motion. Valves without an exhaust connection exhaust air to the atmosphere. Also known as 4-way and 5/3 exhaust center valves.
Valves with hand return actuation stay actuated and go back to their original position only when you move the actuator again.
