It means that you usually have to choose among 3 criteria:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the color (matt black or shiny grey)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The aesthetics choice is usually based on taste, contrast with the panels. In cases were the environment is very bright, the light can be reflected on shiny metal pushbuttons, thus bothering the operators\u2026 so that black colored pushbuttons are preferred in that last case.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the external height depending on the mounting solution (standard or flush)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-47302\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/PB-fashion-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"457\" height=\"152\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/PB-fashion-1.jpg 457w, https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/PB-fashion-1-300x100.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 457px) 100vw, 457px\" \/> <\/p>\n<p>Flush pushbuttons are sometimes considered a more modern look &amp; feel because this aesthetics trend is quite recent.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, flush pushbuttons may also be useful from an ergonomics standpoint:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If operators are wearing ample clothes, like lab coats or just long sleeves, flush mounted devices will prevent them from getting their clothes stuck. They will just love you for saving the 100\u20ac jean\u2019s they bought last week-end.<\/li>\n<li>If the machines are often cleaned with a tissue, the cleaning task will be much easier with a flat surface&#8230;go for flush mounting.<\/li>\n<li>Have you ever gotten scratches on your control panel buttons after a rough delivery by a truck? Anybody who has faced a customer focusing on this unpleasant line on the component will understand that a button that doesn\u2019t protrude from the panel is an asset. In the worst case, if it doesn\u2019t stick out, it means it cannot be beheaded, which could improve your machine robustness against shocks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The external diameter<\/p>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-47303\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/PB-Fashion-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"529\" height=\"157\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/PB-Fashion-2.jpg 529w, https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/PB-Fashion-2-300x89.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 529px) 100vw, 529px\" \/> <\/p>\n<p>Above images enable the comparison of a finger with 2 types of pushbuttons.
