Altech Corporation, a developer of industrial automation solutions, offers a broad line of E-Stops for industrial applications. These high-quality pushbutton control devices come in 22- and 30-millimeter mounting sizes and are designed for easy assembly. In fact, installation typically requires only a screwdriver. Many models are certified for NEMA Type 4X and 12 environments, providing watertight protection and corrosion resistance.

  • 22-millimeter operators. The space-efficient, 22-millimeter lineup includes 600 V AC-rated metal operators in momentary, push-pull and push-turn styles with self-wiping NO or NC contacts that keep oxidized materials from accumulating.
  • 30-millimeter operators. These 600 V AC-rated units have momentary mushroom heads and are offered in “press to lock, turn to release” maintained versions with indicating arrows. Contact operation is NO and NC, and color-coded contact blocks allow easy identification and assembly.
  • Pre-assembled and ready-to assemble control stations. Control units come in a choice of rugged aluminum die cast, vibration-resistant aluminum gravity die cast, thermoplastic and polycarbonate enclosures.
  • Other pushbutton products:
    • Specialty options. Key-to-lock/key-to-release models and mechanical indicators (22-millimeter plastic).
    • Illuminated 22- and 30-millimeter illuminated operators. Available with LED or filament bulbs.
    • A 22-millimeter unibody unit. Pilot light and LED block combination in a shock- and flame-resistant, vibration-proof housing with shrouded terminals and various voltage and LED color options.
    • Accessories. Shrouds, lock-outs and legend plates.

In addition to having a comprehensive range of standard products, Altech can custom-create an assembly with the right mix of contacts, enclosure, shroud and markings to meet an application’s regulatory and operational requirements. Altech E-stop products meet several key requirements, including IEC 60947-5-1, UL 508 and CSA C22.2 No. 14-95.
