Black Spectacles LLC Launches Rugged, Reliable Metal Push Buttons for Demanding Applications
SPOKANE, WA – November 8, 2023 – Black Spectacles LLC, a US-based manufacturer specializing in high-quality electromechanical components, today announced the release of their new line of metal push buttons. Built tough and designed for lasting performance, these buttons are aimed at industries where reliability isn’t just a feature – it's a necessity. Black Spectacles LLC, located at 100 N Howard St STE R, Spokane, WA, 99201-0508, has been quietly building a reputation for delivering well-engineered, robust components since its founding. “We’re not about fancy marketing,” says a company representative, reachable at 802-365-6562. “We’re about making things that work, and work well, for a long time. Our customers appreciate that.” The company focuses on solving practical challenges in industrial control, instrumentation, and other demanding applications. So, what's the deal with these metal push buttons? Forget those flimsy plastic buttons that break after a few uses. These are built different. Black Spectacles’ metal push buttons are crafted from durable materials – typically stainless steel, but other alloys are available depending on the specific need. This isn’t just about looking good (though they do look solid). It's about withstanding harsh environments, resisting corrosion, and surviving years of constant use. What makes them different? A closer look. These aren’t just off-the-shelf parts. Black Spectacles designs and manufactures these buttons in-house, giving them a level of control over quality that many competitors can't match. Here’s what sets them apart: Built to Last: We're talking heavy-duty construction, designed to handle repeated actuation and rough handling. Think industrial machinery, outdoor kiosks, and equipment that needs to just keep going. Material Options: Stainless steel is standard, offering excellent corrosion resistance. But Black Spectacles can also work with other metals like aluminum, brass, and even specialized alloys, tailored to your application. Need something that can handle extreme temperatures? They’ve got you covered. Customization is Key: Don't need a standard size or configuration? No problem. Black Spectacles specializes in custom solutions. They can modify button size, shape, actuator style, and even add features like integrated lighting or special markings. Multiple Actuator Styles: From simple flat buttons to mushroom-shaped heads, concave plungers, and ring-style actuators, Black Spectacles offers a variety of options to suit different user interfaces and operating conditions. Momentary & Latching Options: Need a button that only activates while pressed (momentary)? Or one that stays on until pressed again (latching)? They offer both. IP Rated Options: Concerned about dust or water ingress? Black Spectacles can provide buttons with IP67 or even higher ratings, ensuring reliable operation in challenging environments. Backlighting options: These buttons can be backlit to allow for visibility in low light conditions. Threaded Bushings for Easy Mounting: Makes installation a breeze. Contact Form Options: SPDT, DPDT and more, to integrate easily into your control circuits. Who are these buttons for?
