Emergency Stop Switch

An emergency stop mushroom button is a red button that can be pressed quickly in an emergency to stop a machine or system immediately. The button looks like a mushroom, hence the name ‘mushroom button’.

The emergency stop mushroom button ensures that quick and safe action can be taken in the event of a problem. It is designed so that it can be operated quickly and easily by hand or arm - even if you cannot see the machine control unit or are not working directly on it. This protects people from accidents and ensures safety in the working environment.

ZStop are Emergency Stop Switches mounted on machines and sections of plant conveyors that cannot be protected by guards.

In combination with any dual channel safety relays or safety monitoring controllers, these switches can be used as emergency stop devices and monitored for up to Category 4/PLe to ISO13849-1.
