The Series ZS 71 emergency pull-wire switch (photo) is equipped with snap-action, NC-positive-break contacts, providing a safe, reliable means for initiating an emergency stop along the length of the installed pull wire. The switching function is actuated when the wire is pulled or broken. It has a 35-m reach, integral push-botton reset, die-cast aluminum and powder-coated housing. An IP 69K ingress-protection rating makes it suitable for a range of applications. It has an operating temperature range of –25°C to 70°C, and a mechanical life of more than 100,000 cycles. — Steute Industrial Controls, Ridgefield, Conn.
