Flameproof E-stop Push Buttons
Increased control over heavy-duty machinery = lower risks, safety boost
ATEX/IECEx rated emergency-stop push buttons are reactive devices used to instantly cease the operation of a connected system, machine or device in combustible sites. The units are equipped with big, red mushroom push buttons and offer direct control during equipment malfunction, premature failure and other unforeseen risks.
When pressed, emergency-stop push buttons remove power from the connected machine, which will likely require a manual reset to continue operation.
Although flameproof emergency-stop push buttons are classified as “complementary protective measures” by the CSA, the devices are essential for compliance with numerous safety standards worldwide.
As a last-resort type of safety mechanism, it is important to use a high-quality flameproof emergency-stop push button to ensure reliability. That’s why at Larson Electronics, our ATEX/IECEx rated e-stop push buttons are built with non-metallic or 316 stainless steel housings and feature large, accessible (red or green) push buttons.
Impact-resistant features enable our NEMA-rated emergency-stop units to withstand rough handling and environments commonly associated with combustible sites and machines (these devices aren’t typically pushed softly and are engaged with force during a malfunction).
