About Emergency Stop Devices Push Button
Emergency Stop Devices
Devices suitable for the generation of an emergency stop signal, foreseen by the Machinery Directive on machines and plants to avoid or reduce existing risks for operators, as well as minimize the risk of damage to machinery and work in progress. The emergency stop devices are operated only manually in the event of danger and generate a signal that leads to the interruption of the dangerous situation. Once the emergency stop command has been activated, the device remains activated until a manual release action by the operator.
Robust Safety for Industrial ApplicationsEngineered for demanding environments, this emergency stop button offers a combination of high dielectric strength, rugged build, and dust- and water-resistant IP65 protection. Suitable for automation systems, machinery, and control panels, its mushroom-head actuator is easily accessible in emergencies, ensuring clear visibility and rapid deployment.
Flexible and Reliable OperationFeaturing 1NO and 1NC interchangeable contacts, screw terminals, and a push-lock with twist-release function, this device adapts to a variety of circuit requirements. Mechanical life exceeding a million cycles and a rapid <30ms response time guarantee long-term, dependable service and minimal downtime.
Easy Installation and MaintenanceInstalling the emergency stop push button is streamlined by its standard 22mm mounting diameter and robust metal bezel. The matte/textured finish enhances grip, while the single-module design saves panel space. Routine maintenance is simplified thanks to high-grade materials and accessible screw terminals.
FAQs of Emergency Stop Devices Push Button:
Q: How is the Emergency Stop Push Button installed in a control panel?
A: The push button is designed for panel mounting, fitting a standard 22mm diameter hole. Simply insert the button, secure it with the supplied mounting bezel, and connect the wiring using the screw terminals for quick and reliable installation.
Q: What are the benefits of the push-lock, twist-release mechanism?
A: This mechanism ensures that the circuit remains open and equipment stays stopped until a conscious reset is performed by an operator, adding an essential layer of safety and preventing accidental restarts after an emergency.
Q: Where can this emergency stop button be used?
A: It is suitable for industrial machinery, automation systems, and control panels, especially in environments requiring compliance with IEC 60947-5-1 and a high degree of protection against dust, water, and mechanical impact.
Q: What is the rated voltage and current capacity of this device?
A: The emergency stop button supports a rated voltage of 250V AC or 24V DC and a maximum current rating of 10A, making it compatible with a wide range of industrial applications.
Q: How does the interchangeable 1NO + 1NC contact configuration support different circuit designs?
A: With both normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) contacts, this switch provides flexibility for integration into safety circuits, allowing for simultaneous signaling and machine power control during emergency stops.
Q: What makes this emergency stop switch compliant with international safety standards?
A: The device is certified to IEC 60947-5-1, has a robust IK08 shock rating, and provides IP65 protection, ensuring reliable performance and operator safety in challenging industrial settings.
