Control station with red mushroom button 40 yellow 2 NC rotary XALK178F

Control station with emergency button – reliable machine safety

This yellow control station, equipped with a red mushroom-shaped button, is a complete solution for ensuring safety in machines and industrial systems. Designed for emergency stop function, it allows for quick and effective stopping of the device in hazardous situations. It is ideal for machine production, textiles, packaging, lift control systems, garage door and roller shutter control.

Construction and functionality

The housing made of durable plastic (polycarbonate) provides high resistance to mechanical damage and external factors. The station is characterized by an IP66 protection class, which guarantees tightness against dust and water jets – it can be used even in harsh industrial conditions. Surface mounting simplifies installation in various configurations. The mushroom button with a diameter of 40 mm is easily accessible and intuitive to operate. The unlocking mechanism based on rotation provides additional protection against accidental restart after an emergency stop.

Application and benefits for professionals

The XALK178F control station is a ready-made solution that minimizes assembly and configuration time. Thanks to the use of standard accessories from the XB4/XB5 series (contacts, light modules), it is easy to expand the station's functionality with additional control elements. The possibility of adding up to 9 single contacts increases the flexibility of the system. The use of an NC (Normally Closed) contact compliant with IEC 60947-5-1 (Annex K) ensures reliable operation of the safety function – positive opening operation. Screw terminals allow for solid and secure connection of wires with a cross-section from 0.22 mm² to 1.5 mm².

User parameters and compliance with standards

The hole diameter is 22.5 mm, which is a standard size allowing cooperation with a wide range of accessories. The station can operate at a temperature from -25 to 70°C, making it suitable for various environmental conditions. The rated thermal current (Ith) is 10 A, ensuring safe operation with various loads. The IP66 protection class guarantees high resistance to dust and water. The station complies with IEC 60204-1, IEC 60947-1, IEC 60947-5-1, IEC 60947-5-4 and ISO 13850 standards, which confirms its safety and reliability. The connection of the auxiliary circuit is made using a screw connection providing a secure electrical connection. The station has two normally open contacts allowing to expand the functionality and the mounting is done on a flat surface.
