When a machine absolutely must be stopped (e.g. emergency situations), E-stop actuators are used to immediately initiate a complete and safe stop. Therefore, E-stop actuators have to be easily identified and readily accessible by any employee. Requirements of the CSA Z432-04 Standard “Safeguarding of the Machinery” clearly state that E-stop push buttons shall be maintained type, red mushroom head with a yellow background, a color combination reserved exclusively for this button's purpose. Moreover the contact elements shall be Positive Opening type. In the event that E-Stop push button is activated the normally closed contact will be open even if contacts are welded.

General Safety Company can offer a full range of E-Stop pushbuttons as well as other pilot devices. All E-Stop pushbuttons meet the requirements of the CSA Z432-04, IEC/EN 60947-1 and IEC/EN 60947-5-1 Standards.
