REES
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about REES from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between momentary and maintained action in REES mushroom-head push buttons?
Momentary action means the push button returns to its original position when released, making it suitable for applications like start buttons or jog controls. Maintained action means the button stays in the pressed position until manually reset, which is typical for emergency stop functions. REES offers both types across its mushroom-head push button range, with models such as 53CW06 (momentary) and 36LR91 (maintained). The choice depends on the required safety function and control logic.
What contact configurations are available for REES mushroom-head push buttons?
Many REES mushroom-head push buttons come with one normally open (NO) and one normally closed (NC) contact block, such as models 53CW06 and 53CW08. This configuration allows for both control and monitoring circuits. Some models may offer different contact arrangements; consult the specific product datasheet for details. The contact blocks are typically designed for easy replacement or addition, depending on the model.
What are the common actuator sizes for REES mushroom-head push buttons?
REES mushroom-head push buttons are available with actuator diameters of 22 mm, 30 mm, and 57 mm. The 22 mm size is compact and suitable for dense control panels, while the 30 mm and 57 mm sizes provide larger targets for emergency stop applications. The actuator material can be non-metallic or metallic, depending on the model. For example, SKU 36LR91 has a 22 mm non-metallic actuator, while SKU 53CW09 has a 57 mm metallic actuator.
Are REES mushroom-head push buttons suitable for emergency stop applications?
Yes, many REES mushroom-head push buttons are designed for emergency stop use, particularly those with maintained action and a prominent mushroom head. Models like 36LR90 (30 mm) and 36LR77 (57 mm) are commonly used as emergency stop devices. However, the specific safety integrity level and compliance with standards such as ISO 13850 depend on the complete system design, including the contact blocks and wiring. Always verify that the selected push button meets the required safety category for your application.
What terminal connection types do REES mushroom-head push buttons use?
REES mushroom-head push buttons may feature pressure plate terminals or screw terminals, depending on the model. For instance, SKU 36LR77 uses pressure plate terminals. The terminal type affects wiring method and compatibility with existing panel wiring. Check the product specifications for the exact terminal connection to ensure it matches your installation requirements.
