Industrial Membrane Keyboard


Are you interested in industrial silicone keyboards? Don’t hesitate to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you.

Membrane keyboards - a real classic

Durable, Reliable, and Widely Used

In industrial environments, membrane keyboards are among the most commonly used input devices alongside stainless steel keyboards. These models are built to withstand harsh environmental conditions while also fulfilling strict hygiene requirements. Their robust design and dependable performance make them a popular choice across various industries.

Advantages of the technology:

  • The even and sealed surface makes it simple to clean and disinfect
  • A robust surface
  • > 1 million keystrokes possible without any problems
  • Ideal protection against dust and water
  • High degree of resistance to wear
  • Easy-to-feel key feedback
  • Flat installation depth

    However, membrane keyboards are also hugely popular in the medical sector. The absence of grooves and notches between the keys means there’s nowhere for contaminants to accumulate. This makes hygienic use much easier. All models can also be cleaned quickly and easily without any hassle.

    A technical view of our range of membrane keyboards

    Membrane keyboards with flat metal domes,

    also known as flat input keyboards. The structure of the keyboard consists of the five following layers in this version (from inside to outside):

    1. A gold-plated PCB with integrated switching elements (the so-called metal domes)
    2. Distance spacers
    3. Fixing and protecting film
    4. Adhesive film
    5. Design film

    BENEFITS

    • A high degree of inherent stability
    • No risk of silver migration (silver conductive lacquer is often used for flexible membrane keyboards)
    • A long serviceable life through gold-to-gold contact
    • A precise pressure point through metal domes

    POPULAR FIELDS OF APPLICATION:

    • Machine and plant controls with a flat installation depth
    • Engineering, plant and apparatus construction

    Membrane keyboards with tough short-stroke keys,

    also known as short-stroke keyboards. The structure of the keyboard consists of the following four layers in this version (from inside to outside):

    1. PCB
    2. Front panel
    3. Adhesive film
    4. Design film

    BENEFITS

    • The solid front panel protects and stabilizes the unit
    • Particularly robust and durable
    • Outstanding tactile feedback
    • No risk of silver migration (silver conductive lacquer is often used for flexible membrane keyboards)

    POPULAR FIELDS OF APPLICATION:

    • Special engineering
    • Automation
    • General: industrial fields of application with high standards
    • The food and drinks industry
    • Information terminals
