Allen-Bradley 800Z-GF3 Electronic Palm Touch Button

Allen-Bradley 800Z-GF3 Electronic Palm Touch Button is a palm-sized, zero-force activation device in Rockwell Automation’s 800Z family, designed as an ergonomic replacement for traditional palm buttons on control panels. The GF3 variant (model 800ZGF3Q5) is a 30.5 mm Electronic Palm Button intended for standard 30.5 mm operator cutouts and provides momentary activation through a light touch on the palm surface. Zero-force technology minimizes actuation effort and wear, delivering fast, repeatable palm activations for frequent operator input on machines and process equipment while maintaining a compact footprint. Rockwell documentation positions the 800Z palm buttons as ergonomic successors to palm buttons, suitable for integration in guarded or unguarded panels with compatible mounting accessories. The GF3Q5 designation identifies this specific variant, and the 800Z family supports mounting and guarding accessories such as 800Z-G3AG1/2 to tailor the interface; installation guides cover mounting dimensions, wiring considerations, and ecosystem compatibility to help ensure reliable operation in harsh industrial environments.
