What is an emergency stop push button switch?
Emergency stop switch, also known as emergency stop switch, emergency switch, kill switch or emergency button, emergency stop button switch, is a fail-safe control switch that provides safety protection for machinery and equipment. People who use machines.
specify the following requirements: Emergency stop switches must be highly visible in colour, labeling and shape for easy operation in emergency situations. So the button has to be a red mushroom head with an arrow, emergency or stop symbol.
Common sizes for mushroom heads are 29mm, 30mm, 40mm or 60mm. The direct operating mechanism must be set on a normally closed contact and have a self-holding function. It requires a twist, pull or key to release the electrical contacts to allow the machine to restart.
Emergency Stop Button (E-stop for short) is an emergency stop device, usually used in mechanical and automation systems to prevent accidental injury or equipment damage. The following are the main functions and features of the emergency stop button in production:
effect:
Emergency stop: When a dangerous or unexpected event occurs, press the emergency stop button to stop the machine or equipment immediately to prevent further injury or equipment damage.
Convenient operation: The emergency stop button is usually located in an easily accessible position of the machine or equipment, and is generally easy to identify and operate.
System safety: By using the emergency stop button, it can reduce the negligence and error of the system operator and help ensure the safety of the system.
Protection equipment: the emergency stop button can automatically cut off the power supply in case of equipment overload, overheating, overvoltage, etc., so as to protect the equipment from damage.
characteristic:
Independent control: The emergency stop button is usually not related to the control of other equipment, and has an independent circuit to ensure that the machine or equipment can be stopped immediately under any circumstances.
Easy reset: Once the emergency stop button is pressed, it must be reset manually to restart the machine or equipment. This can prevent the machine or equipment from restarting in an unsafe state.
Reliability: The emergency stop button must be reliable, operable, and highly reliable and durable to ensure that it can work normally when needed.
Standardization: The color and shape of emergency stop button are generally standardized to facilitate identification and operation, and comply with relevant safety standards and regulations.
Start and stop button switch, generally used for start and stop. Generally, there are green, red, yellow and so on. We usually use the green button as start, the red button as stop, and the yellow button as jog.
In fact, their internal structure is the same.
See the start, pass, and reset in the first picture for the physical picture. The start and reset buttons are different from the pass button. The start and reset buttons are push button switches with indicator lights. The physical contact diagram is as follows:
Circuit breakers, contactors, intermediate relays, thermal relays, buttons, indicator lights, universal transfer switches and travel switches are the eight most common components in electrical control circuits. The editor introduces the principles and applications of common electrical components with pictures and texts. Get a handle on how these components work in normal times by understanding their role in the electrical circuit.
1. Circuit breaker
Low-voltage circuit breakers are also called automatic air switches, which can be switched manually, and can be used to distribute electric energy, start asynchronous motors infrequently, and protect power lines and motors. Automatically cut off the circuit.

2. Contactor
The contactor is composed of two parts, the electromagnetic mechanism and the contact system. The common coil voltages of the contactor are AC220V, AC380V and DC220V. The electromagnetic mechanism of the contactor is composed of a coil, a moving iron core (armature) and a static iron core; the contactor contact system is composed of two parts, the main contact and the auxiliary contact, the main contact is used to switch the main circuit, and the auxiliary contact is used to control in the circuit.
◆Outline pictures of commonly used contactors
Metal button switch (push-buttons switch) refers to a switch that uses a button to push the transmission mechanism to make the moving contact and the static contact press on or off and realize the circuit switching. The metal push button switch is a master electrical appliance with a simple structure and a wide range of applications. In electrical automatic control circuits, it is used to manually send control signals to control contactors, relays, electromagnetic starters, etc.
With the rapid development of microelectronics technology, the control technology is becoming more and more perfect and mature. As the core component of industrial control, the metal button switch has more and more powerful control functions, smaller and smaller volume, and more high-speed and reliable operation. ; The human-machine interface (HMI) has completely broken the traditional operation modes such as buttons and signal lights, making the equipment operation interface more popular, friendly, flexible and diverse, and its powerful storage function and communication capability have brought difficulties to equipment manufacturers and users. It is the general trend to replace the traditional equipment operation interface with the desired benefits and convenience; the control technology of the frequency converter used for ordinary motor speed regulation has far exceeded the early single metal button switch control method, and is rapidly moving towards sensorless The development of vectorization and direct torque control has made it widely used in various industries.
