Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. How does an emergency stop button function?

A. Emergency stop buttons are connected in series with a machine's control circuit. Pushing the mushroom-shaped emergency stop button will interrupt the machinery equipment's circuit and disconnect the power source that maintains the circuit power.

Q. What distinguishes a stop from an emergency stop?

A. As previously noted, a regular stop is standard practice. It enables the operation of a machine (like a start). An emergency stop has a defensive purpose to guard against damage to property and injury to persons.

Q. Do all devices require an emergency stop button?

A. Every machine must be equipped with a way to immediately remove all dangerous energy in the case of an emergency, under OSHA, ANSI and applicable ISO rules. This is accomplished in the majority of industrial machinery by pressing the Emergency Stop (E-Stop) pushbutton.
