Wieland Electric E-Stop actuators

LAPP Australia’s range of Wieland Electric E-Stop actuators can be used on a wide range of industrial and process engineering machinery. They feature a special flat design to stop operators hanging items over the top and inhibiting the button’s operation.

The primary purpose of these types of emergency stop buttons is to switch off or stop machines and systems, to avoid or reduce emerging or existing hazards to persons nearby or to other machinery and working material.

A green stripe around the outside clearly indicates whether the button has been pushed in or if it is in the regular position. To release a simple twisting motion is all that is required. A key-release version of the E-Stop is also available as part of the range.

The rugged design of the E-Stop range makes it readily applicable to machinery, including those operating in harsh industrial environments.

The E-Stop buttons also have a built-in failure protection mechanism that automatically detects when a contact block is removed from the actuating element, at which point it switches off safely.
