Best Answer

When you press the button, a microswitch creates a circuit. That circuit sends a signal to the elevator controller, which is a computer that runs the elevator.

Instantly, the controller powers the light inside the button, which is usually an LED. At the same time, the elevator is dispatched to your location based on a mathematical formula. Once the elevator arrives, the LEDs in the button are turned off.

Buttons vary greatly, but a generally divided into vandal resistant or plastic. Vandal resistance is typically defined as a metal button that lands on solid metal when depressed. See www.epco.us for examples of many kinds of buttons.

Passenger elevators are big pulleys powered by a motor with 6-8 cables or more that pull the elevator cab or the counter weight letting the elevator go up or down.

Why can't Jewish people touch elevator buttons?

Most days of the year Jews can press elevator buttons.However, on Shabbat/Shabbos (the Jewish Sabbath), Friday from sundown until Saturday after twilight; and Jewish Holidays (a list of which you can find at jewish-holiday), Jews are forbidden from closing electric circuits and putting on lights - as part of the 39 categories of "work" that they may not do on holy days (Exodus 31:13-17; Talmud, Shabbat 73b). (See a list of these categories on 39-categories-of-activity-prohibited-on-shabbat)Pressing elevator buttons would violate the prohibition of not doing "work" on these holy days.
