SCHLEGEL broadens its selection of emergency-stop devices featuring M12 connectors by introducing the new QUARTEX connect series. The switches designed for 22.3 mm mounting holes were created for clients seeking large, sturdy, and easily integrated emergency stop solutions.
Like its predecessors in the connect series, the latest model also comes equipped with a useful M12 connector. This connector allows for a fast, simple, and mistake-free installation, reducing time and expenses since it doesn’t need specially trained staff for wiring. Additionally, the switches can be seamlessly incorporated into current bus systems or M12 technology networks. The QUARTEX connect’s M12 connector is offered with 4 and 5 poles, both A coded.
The QUARTEX connect range switches demonstrate exceptional durability against mechanical wear and accidental force exerted in challenging application environments. The emergency-stop features either an anti-lock collar or can be equipped later with a protective cover to avoid accidental activation.
Illuminated anti-lock collar
The optimal LED illumination is providing even more safety: As soon as the e-stop is activated, the illuminated anti-lock collar lights up and indicates the exact location of potential danger. This allows staff to react quickly and effectively in an emergency situation.
Due to the high IP rates on the front and the rear side, the e-stops can be installed freely and without any additional enclosures. The release is done by twisting left or right. The foolproof design prevents that the e-stop function is activated unintentionally, when the e-stop is not properly operated and the mushroom head not completely pushed down. The emergency-stops have 2 positive opening contacts (2 NC) each and have a lifetime of 50,000 switching cycles, when operated at 35 V/4 A AC resp. 35 V/2 A DC.
Our new QUARTEX connect series combines robustness, safety and user-friendly installation within an emergency-stop – which makes it a perfect solution for modern industrial environments.
