KEY FEATURES
Unique Reverse Energy Structure
Exceeding all Global Standards for Emergency Stop Switches
With X-series emergency stop switches, the potential energy level of the latched status is lower than that of normal status. In the event the switch is damaged due to excessive shocks, the NC contacts will turn off, thus stopping the machine (patented design).
KEY FEATURES
Inside our “Safe Break Action”
Internal view while removing the contact block
When the contact block is removed from the operator, the main contact (NC) is forced to open (OFF). When removing the contact block, the cam provides a direct opening action to open the contact.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS
XN E-Stop
When Safety is a Priority
Eliminate the chance of an accidental resetting. The XN series of emergency stops were specifically developed to prevent unauthorized or accidental resetting of latched E-stop switches. XN4E E-stops offer a higher level of function and safety by allowing the use of up to twelve personal padlocks. With a conventional E-stop, a technician presses the emergency stop then works on the machine, but nothing stops someone else from accidentally restarting the machine while the technician is still working. Not so with XN4E! These E-stops prevent accidents by allowing each technician to place a padlock on the E-stop, preventing resetting of the E-stop and restarting of the machine, until all padlocks have been removed by their respective owners. It’s a simple way to keep everyone safe.
