Pushbuttons survive the demolition derby
Moeller RMQ-Titan pushbuttons have been put to use as starter controls in stock cars at the Standlake Arena short oval raceway near Oxford.
All products are approved for use in dust areas Zone 22, Category 3 and are approved for device group II, which covers all applications except those associated with mining.
The company has also released surface mounting ATEX-compliant pushbutton enclosures which have an IP67 or IP69K ingress protection rating and are particularly useful for applications in mills, grinding plants, wood processing, cement production, grain storage, food processing and similar areas where dust hazards may be present.
LED illumination eliminates the need for bulb changing, and the buttons have a uniform 22.3mm mounting grid to facilitate the design of compact panel layouts.
