NEWS: Rotero has a new supplier
Rotero offers various types of emergency stop switch. The choice of an emergency stop switch largely depends on the intended application and your specific requirements and needs. On this page, you will find everything you need to know.
Emergency stop switches are essential components in machines and systems, designed to immediately interrupt the power supply in an emergency. They play a crucial role in ensuring the safety of both the people working with the equipment and the equipment itself. This is particularly important in situations where quick action is needed to prevent damage or accidents. Use of an effective emergency stop switch can make the difference between safety and a major incident.
There are many different types of emergency stop switch available, each with its own specific features and applications. At Rotero, you can choose from:
The choice of a particular type of emergency stop switch depends on what is required in a specific application. For example, the amount of current the switch must be able to turn on or off, and which switching functions are required for the system to operate properly.
The various types of emergency stop switch differ mainly in terms of their capacity to switch current and the degree to which the switch is protected against external factors, such as dust and water. Some switches are designed for relatively simple applications, while others are for more complex configurations. The right type of switch ensures that the system continues to operate properly under all circumstances and that safety is guaranteed.
Our emergency stop switches are sealed to IP6K9K. This protection class indicates that the switches are resistant to water, dust, shocks and vibration, making them suitable for challenging environments. Whatever those testing conditions may be – heavy rainfall, for example, or dusty construction sites or strong vibration – emergency stop switches continue to function well.
In addition to their robustness, our emergency stop switches also have a long service life. They are designed to switch up to 40,000 times without any deterioration in performance. This is important in situations where they are used frequently, as it contributes to lower maintenance costs and increases the reliability of the systems in which they are installed. Replacing switches is expensive and time-consuming, so a long service life is a significant advantage. These emergency stop switches are designed based on the principle that they must always operate effectively, regardless of the circumstances. Compromises in their quality or functionality are not acceptable, because reliability is essential in emergency situations.
In terms of current capacity, emergency stop switches can handle a continuous current of up to 10A, making them suitable for both light-duty and heavy-duty applications. As a result, they are versatile in use and suitable for various situations where safety is paramount.
Our emergency stop switches are specially designed to perform in diverse situations. Their compact size and high shock resistance make them suitable for use in different environments. Moreover, they function well within a wide temperature range, from -40°C to +85°C, so they can be used in both very cold and very warm conditions.
Our emergency stop switches can be found in various applications. Examples include:
A smoothly functioning emergency stop switch ensures that you can intervene quickly, preventing accidents and damage. This makes the use of emergency stop switches indispensable in modern machines and systems. Our expertise guarantees that you not only get the best products but also the right support to fully tailor the emergency stop switch to your specific needs.
