Silicone industrial keyboards – keyboards for industrial applications

Our silicone industrial keypads are designed for durability, offering a robust, dust- and waterproof design that makes them suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. With various installation options, connection types, customer-specific key layouts, and other customizations available, our silicone keyboards can be tailored to meet your exact needs.

With over 40 years of experience in industrial data input, our silicone keyboards have proven reliable in many industries. They are especially popular in machine control and logistics applications, where they deliver consistent performance.

 

Robust and durable industrial keyboards

Engineered for industrial environments, our silicone keypads are built to withstand harsh conditions, offering IP65 and IP68 protection ratings. 

The silicone surface features a special PU coating, enhancing the keyboard's durability and resistance to solvents, chemicals, and environmental factors. The front panel, which forms the keyboard surface alongside the silicone keys, is covered with a protective film that provides additional abrasion resistance, ensuring that the entire keypad can endure over 1 million switching cycles—even in challenging conditions. Laser-marked symbols ensure that key labels remain clear and legible, even after years of heavy use.

Our silicone keyboards are also available with integrated mouse functions, such as a touchpad or trackball. The flexible silicone design allows for both horizontal and vertical installations.

Marine-Certified Industrial Silicone-Keyboards 

Our silicone industrial keyboards are built for rugged use—offering excellent dust and water protection, long-term durability, and full customization.

Certified to IEC 60945 marine standards, they are designed to perform reliably under harsh maritime conditions, including:

  • Continuous vibration
  • Extreme temperature shifts
  • Salt-laden air
  • High humidity

With versatile installation optionsvarious connection types, and the ability to customize key layouts, our keyboards can be tailored to suit nearly any industrial application.

Whether used in shipping, offshore platforms, or other challenging environments, our silicone keyboards provide the reliability and performance needed for even the most demanding conditions.
