22 mm Panel-Mount Build-Your-Own Plastic Switches
Choose an actuator and contact block to make your own switch. Actuators are rated NEMA 3S, 4X and 13 for protection from dust, outdoor environments, corrosion, oil, and washdowns. They mount into standard panel cutouts. Use legend plates (not included) to label switches. BACO Controls switches are only compatible with BACO manufactured legend plates.

Plastic Emergency Stop Enclosed Push-Button Switches
Made of yellow polycarbonate plastic, these enclosed switches are easy to see and resist dents, chips, and cracks. They are more corrosion resistant than aluminum enclosed switches and withstand washdowns and oil/coolant spraying. Mount them to a wall or attach a cord grip to position them at your workstation. They have positive force contacts that will open a circuit when actuated, even if a spring fails or the contacts stick. A single push will immediately cut power.
The switches can be reset by manually pulling, turning or unlocking them by key. Switches with a guard prevent accidental actuation. To stop the switches from being reset or turned on during machine repairs, lock the guard with a padlock.

Push-Button Safety Covers
Lock out the on/off or emergency-stop buttons on machinery to prevent accidental or unauthorized startups, such as during maintenance. These lockout covers secure with padlocks and indicate to workers that a button is off for safety. By disabling push buttons, these safety covers also help you comply with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 lockout requirements for maintaining machinery.
Removable safety covers twist on and off a mounted base that fits around a button. Use the included colored labels to identify the buttons. Red covers are easy to see when installed.
Hinged safety covers have a door that flips shut. They mount permanently and encase two button sizes—22 mm or 30 mm. Snap off the tabs around the mounting hole to fit 30 mm buttons.
Crossbar safety covers have a bar that locks a button in the off position.
