The article Eaton M22-PVT45P is an EMERGENCY STOP/EMERGENCY OFF switch from the RMQ-Titan range, designed as a single unit in palm form. It serves as a secure emergency stop switch in industrial plants and machines, enabling immediate interruption of power supply or operation in an emergency. The design with a diameter of 45 mm ensures clear visibility and easy operation, even under harsh operating conditions. The switch is tamper-proof in accordance with ISO 13850 and EN 418, meaning it cannot be accidentally or intentionally bypassed without activating the intended safety function.

Applications

The switch is designed for use in industrial environments, particularly in machine building, material handling systems, packaging plants, and other applications where immediate shutdown in an emergency is required. The protection rating IP66, IP67 and IP69K makes it suitable for outdoor use as well as in damp, dusty, or heavily soiled environments. These protection ratings ensure dust and water tightness, even under high pressure and temperature loads, such as those occurring during cleaning processes with high-pressure washers.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The switch features a rotary lock, preventing the switch from being operated without a manual rotational movement. This enhances safety by eliminating the risk of accidental activation. The color of the mushroom head is red, and the color of the lower part is yellow (RAL 3000), visually identifying the switch as an emergency stop switch. The illumination is unlit, meaning no integrated light indicator is present. The maximum contact configuration includes four M22-(C)K01, .10 or two M22-(C)K02, .20, .11, enabling flexible connection to various control systems.

Technology Explained Simply

The switch is wired, meaning the electrical connection is made via a physical cable, not via wireless technologies such as radio or other wireless methods. The operating temperature ranges from -25 °C to +70 °C, making it suitable for use in environments with varying climatic conditions. The standards IEC/EN 60947 and VDE 0660 ensure the electrical safety and reliability of the device. The certification UL and CSA confirms compliance with safety standards in North America.

Compatibility and Accessories

The switch can be combined with various contact elements, including M22-AK11, M22-CKC01, M22-KC01, M22-AK10, M22-K01, M22-CK20, M22-IY1, M22-I3, M22-KC10, M22-CKC10, M22-K10, M22-K02SMC10, M22-I6, M22-CK01, M22-I2, M22-I4, M22-CK11, M22-I1, M22-CK02, M22-CK10. These elements allow adaptation to different switching functions and connection types. Additionally, various mounting enclosures such as M22-IY1, M22-I3, M22-I6, M22-I2, M22-I4, and M22-I1 are available to install the switch into different control panels or enclosures.

Mounting and Installation

Mounting is done in standard socket outlets or suitable mounting enclosures. The mounting height is 45 mm, and the width is also 45 mm, allowing for compact placement in control panels. The rotary lock requires a manual rotational movement to operate the switch, enhancing safety. Connection is made via cable, with the exact wiring depending on the selected contact configuration.

Advantages in Operation

The switch offers high mechanical and electrical reliability, even under extreme environmental conditions. The IP69K protection rating enables use in environments with high cleaning requirements, such as in the food industry or pharmaceutical industry. The tamper-proof design in accordance with ISO 13850/EN 418 ensures that the emergency stop function cannot be bypassed, increasing operator safety. The combinability with various contact elements and mounting enclosures provides flexibility when integrating into existing systems.
