Emergency grab-wire switches

Emergency grab-wire switches are used on machines and plants which cannot be safeguarded by safety covers. In contrast to an emergency-stop push-button the emergency grab-wire switch can be actuated from any point along the wire. All emergency grab-wire switches conform with European standard EN ISO 13850 and IEC/EN 60947-5-5.

The emergency grab-wire switches have an integrated wire break monitoring function. If the emergency grab-wire switches are actuated or if the wire breaks, all NC contacts are opened and all NO contacts are closed. Most emergency grab-wire switches have a robust metal housing. A wide range of accessories is available for all product types.
