Applications

CNC, HVAC, Crane & Panel Builder Applications

SH-GQ metal push buttons on electrical control cabinet doors

Electrical Control Cabinets

MCC and switchgear panel doors. Metal bezels resist vibration and mechanical abuse from frequent use. Ring-lamp variants confirm relay and contactor status without opening the door.

Recommended: GQ22 flat + ring lamp, GQ22 annular indicator
SH-GQ metal push buttons on a CNC machine tool operator panel

Machine Tool Operator Panels

Lathes, milling centres, and press-brake operator stations. Metal bezel withstands cutting fluid splash and swarf impact. IP65 sealing prevents ingress during coolant wash-down.

Recommended: GQ22 flat, GQ22 small-head e-stop
SH-GQ metal push buttons on a crane and hoist control pendant

Crane & Hoist Controls

Pendant stations and floor control posts for overhead cranes and hoists. Metal construction survives daily impacts. GQ16 compact format suits pendant enclosures; e-stop for safety circuits.

Recommended: GQ16 flat, GQ16 / GQ22 e-stop
SH-GQ metal push buttons on an HVAC building automation control box

HVAC & Building Automation

Fan start/stop, pump control, and lighting selector panels in commercial buildings. GQ19 mid-size format common in HVAC control boxes. Power-supply marker lamp shows supply status at a glance.

Recommended: GQ19 flat + ring lamp, GQ16 power marker lamp
SH-GQ annular ring lamps and metal push buttons on an industrial indicator panel

Industrial Indicator Panels

Annular lamp variants serve purely as status indicators — no switch function. Mix with push buttons in the same cutout size for a uniform panel aesthetic. Available in red, green, yellow, white, blue.

Recommended: GQ16 / GQ22 annular ring lamp
SH-GQ metal push buttons fitted to an OEM panel builder retrofit enclosure

OEM & Panel Builder Retrofit

Standard 16/19/22 mm cutouts are universal — GQ series drops into existing panel holes. Metal bezels match stainless steel enclosure aesthetics for food-processing and pharmaceutical OEMs.

Recommended: Full GQ range by cutout size
FAQ

SH-GQ FAQ: Metal Bezels, IP65 & Wiring

What is the difference between the 16 mm, 19 mm, and 22 mm GQ series?
The three sizes refer to the panel cutout diameter required: Φ16 mm, Φ19 mm, and Φ22 mm. All share zinc-alloy bezel construction, IP65 front protection with gasket, and the same basic contact rating. Choose by existing panel hole size, available door space, and operator visibility. For a broader family comparison, start from the Shieldhz push buttons and indicator lights page.
What is the bezel material: zinc alloy or stainless steel?
Standard SH-GQ bezels are zinc alloy with chrome or nickel plating for a bright metallic appearance. Stainless steel bezel variants can be specified for food-processing, pharmaceutical, marine, or corrosion-prone environments. Confirm bezel material, surface finish, and cleaning exposure before ordering.
What lamp voltages are available for illuminated GQ push buttons?
Available lamp voltages include AC/DC 6V, 12V, 24V, 36V, 48V, 110V, 220V, and AC 380V. For PLC panels, AC/DC 24V is usually the safest default. For direct mains indication, specify AC 110V, AC 220V, or AC 380V with the selected ring-lamp or annular indicator model.
Which standard applies to SH-GQ control-circuit use?
SH-GQ contact blocks are specified around IEC/EN 60947-5-1 control-circuit device requirements and GB/T 14048.5. The practical check is whether the AC-15 or DC-13 contact rating matches the relay, contactor, or PLC input load. For standards context, see the IEC standards reference.
Do the annular lamp variants include a contact block?
No. Annular ring lamp models are indicator lamps only: they have a lamp circuit but no switching contact block. Use them for panel status display. If the panel needs both operator input and illumination in one unit, choose a ring-lamp push button with a contact block and LED lamp.
Are SH-GQ emergency stop buttons suitable for safety circuits?
GQ small-head emergency stop buttons are compact twist-release operators for supplementary stopping functions. For main safety emergency-stop circuits that require certified positive-opening contacts, confirm the machine safety requirement and compare the SH-B2 BS-series emergency-stop route before approval.
What colors are available for lenses and operator heads?
Standard colors include red, green, yellow, white, and blue across flat heads, ring-lamp illuminated operators, and annular indicator lamp variants. Use red for stop or danger, green for start or safe, yellow for warning, and white or blue for general functions. Custom colors and legend markings can be prepared for OEM quantities.
