Cable-Pull Emergency Stop Switches



Emergency Stop Button,
Power and Tension Indicator

Immediately cut power by pulling a cable. These switches are often used to turn off production lines and material handling systems in an emergency. All have positive-force, snap-open contacts that open a circuit when actuated, even if a spring fails or the contacts stick. The contacts will remain open until you tension the cable and reset the switch.
Two-direction switches can be used with tension springs (not included) to open contacts and stop machinery if the cable breaks.
Switches with a power indicator illuminate when the cable has been pulled.
Switches with a tension indicator let you visually confirm that tension is set correctly in the system.
Switches with an emergency stop button can be shut off either by their button or cable. They’re often installed where equipment may block access to the cable.
Accessory kits (sold separately) simplify the installation of a new switch.

Cable-Pull Emergency Stop Switches with Restart Switch
Tug the cable to stop your line, then follow it back to the restart switch. Typically separate devices, the stop and reset controls are in one compact unit. As a secondary shutdown option, a push-button stop switch is also built in. A secondary push-button stop switch ensures you can halt equipment immediately, even when the cable is out of reach. Because they let you control circuits from a distance with a quick tug, these cable-pull stop switches are often used to turn off production lines and material handling systems. To notify your team on the floor that you’ve stopped equipment, a power indicator lights up when you pull the cable.
Use the tension indicator to confirm that cable is set up correctly. Circuits remain open until you tension the cable and hit the restart button. Cable is not included.
Two-direction switches support twice the total cable distance of one-direction switches. With pulls on each side, you can route cable in two opposite directions. These switches are often placed at the midpoint of conveyors and other long runs of equipment.

Hazardous Location Cable-Pull Emergency Stop Switches

Safe to use near ignitable gases and dust, the housing on these switches seals in anything that could ignite flammable material. All are UL listed and CSA certified for use in hazardous locations. Yank the cable anywhere along your line to quickly cut power in emergencies. They have positive-force, snap-open contacts that open a circuit when actuated, even if a spring fails or the contacts stick. The contacts will remain open until you tension the cable and reset the switch. Use the tension indicator to visually confirm that they’re reset correctly.

Overhead Rope-Pull Switches


Tug the hanging rope to actuate these switches. They're rated NEMA 4 to protect against washdowns.
Pull-down switches only actuate when you pull the rope directly down.
Pull-any-direction switches actuate even when you pull the rope at an angle. These are good for spaces where you can't mount the switch directly above your workstation.

Small-Room Ceiling Lights

Update standard outlet boxes in closets, hallways, and storage rooms to use LED light. These ceiling lights are good for tight spaces because they have a lower profile than standard bulbs and a polycarbonate housing that shields them from impact. Their LED bulb lasts longer, is more efficient, and generates less heat than other light technologies. They produce warm light, which looks like the light from incandescent bulbs. All meet NFPA 70 safety standards for lights in clothing closets.

Plug-In Ceiling Lights

No need for wiring—these lights plug-in with a two-prong plug. Also known as shop lights. With built-in LEDs, these lights last longer, are more efficient, and generate less heat than other light technologies. They emit a neutral white light often found in workspaces. A smooth, frosted lens disperses light evenly. Suspend from the ceiling with the included mounting hardware.
