Control station with red mushroom button Fi40 yellow 1NO+1NC rotary XALK178E

Control stations – safety and reliability in every detail

This control station with a mushroom head button is a solid solution to ensure safety in demanding industrial environments. Designed for quick response in emergency situations, it is ideal for use where ergonomics and reliable operation are important. Clear color coding and intuitive operation make it easy to identify and use even in stressful conditions.

Design and application

The XALK178E control station is designed for emergency stop function, offering effective shutdown of the machine or process when needed. Its housing made of durable polycarbonate provides resistance to impact, dust, water and corrosion. Thanks to the high degree of protection IP66/IP67/IP69/IP69K, the station can be used even in extreme environmental conditions – where other solutions fail. The rotary mechanism for unlocking the button minimizes the risk of accidental restart after an emergency stop. The 22.5 mm mounting hole diameter ensures compatibility with many standard control panels.

Advantages and benefits for installers and users

• Durability and reliability: Polycarbonate housing and high IP protection guarantee long-lasting and trouble-free operation even in harsh industrial conditions.
• Safety: The red mushroom button with a diameter of 40 mm is easily recognizable and provides a quick response in emergency situations. The rotary mechanism prevents accidental re-launch of the machine after an emergency stop.
• Easy installation: Surface mounting and the ability to connect screw terminals simplify the installation process and integration with existing control systems.
• Versatility: The control station finds application in a wide range of industries – from production to industrial automation, ensuring the safety of operators and machines.
• Compliance with standards: The product meets the requirements of international safety standards (IEC 60204-1, IEC 60947-1, IEC 60947-5-1), which confirms its high quality and reliability.
• High-quality contacts: Equipped with one normally open (1NO) and one normally closed (1NC) contact made of silver alloy (Ag/Ni), ensuring reliable operation for a long time. The contacts have a "positive opening operation" feature according to IEC 60947-5-1 Annex K - crucial for safety functions.
• Connection flexibility: The ability to connect wires with a cross-section from 0.22 mm² to 1.5 mm² using screw terminals provides flexibility during installation. A knockout hole for a cable with a diameter of up to 14 mm and two holes for Pg 13 or ISO M20 cable glands with a diameter of up to 12 mm facilitate cable routing.
