Push Buttons
Rugged manual interface components—including pushbuttons and E-stops—that provide operators with direct, tactile control over machine start/stop functions.
Schneider Electric | Harmony® XB4 & XB5
The Schneider Harmony range is the “global standard” for push buttons. It is split into two distinct materials: XB4 (Metal) for high-impact industrial environments and XB5 (Plastic) for corrosion resistance and chemical plants. They are sourced for their “Flush Mount” aesthetic, which makes modern control panels look sleek and professional.
Harmony XB4
Model Number: ZB4BD3
High impact resistance (IK06); IP66/IP69K; grounded metal bezel for EMI protection.
Key Technical Specifications:
Uses “Shake-proof” screw clamp terminals that prevent wiring from loosening in high-vibration applications.
Features a “Flush Mounting Kit” that allows the button to sit perfectly level with the panel surface, preventing accidental snags.
Mechanical lifespan of up to 10 million operations, making it the primary choice for high-repetition production lines.
Harmony XB5
Model Number: XB5AW31B5
Double insulated (Class II); high chemical resistance; ideal for wash-down and F&B.
Key Technical Specifications:
The full plastic construction is ideal for environments with salt spray, high humidity, or aggressive cleaning agents.
Offers the “Trigger Action” E-Stop with an integrated LED ring, making it easy to locate in dark or smoky conditions.
Uses the same ZBE contact blocks as the metal series, allowing procurement teams to maintain a single inventory of spare parts.
Eaton | RMQ-Titan M22 & M30
Eaton’s RMQ-Titan (Moeller series) is the “innovation leader” in pilot devices. They are sourced when space is at a premium or when advanced lighting is needed. Their M22 series is famous for its “Multi-color” LEDs, which allow a single button to change colors based on the machine’s state.
RMQ-Titan M22
Model Number: M22-PV/K11
22.5mm mounting; up to 6 contact blocks; field-convertible from momentary to maintained.
Key Technical Specifications:
A simple internal coding element allows you to switch any button from “Momentary” (spring return) to “Maintained” (stay down) in seconds.
Can be connected via a single flat cable instead of individual wires, reducing control panel wiring time by up to 85%.
Uses “True Color” LEDs with a 100,000-hour lifespan, ensuring consistent brightness over the entire life of the machine.
RMQ-Flat Design
Model Number: M22-FLED-RG
Only 30mm diameter; ultra-flat profile; uses “Flat Rear” contacts for shallow enclosures.
Key Technical Specifications:
A single RGB LED element can be programmed to display any color, allowing one indicator to signal “Running,” “Fault,” “Warning,” and “Manual Mode.”
The RMQ range includes M22-sized RJ45 and USB ports, allowing for easy software updates without opening the cabinet door.
The E-Stop versions feature a unique illuminated ring that is visible from all angles, significantly increasing operator safety.
