Source for E-Stop (Dual NC Switches)

Post by EricMack »

I corresponded with Marty tonight on Facebook to find some E-Stop Switches. I found what I needed (thanks, Marty!) and thought I would share my links in case it helps someone else.

Most E-Stop switches I found had one NO switch or one NO and one NC. I needed dual NC. Marty recommended the metal switch assemblies and with these you can swap switch modules.

Here is what I ended up purchasing.

I picked up a few of these 2 for $7

For now, I will remove switches from some stops to gang them to get my dual NC E-Stops.

Meanwhile, I will wait for the slow boat from China to deliver these replacement NC Modules. (I may buy some NO modules, too so I can assemble whatever I need)

I purchased Qty 10 of the ZB2-BE102C NC Switch modules

for $10

I hopes this helps someone with their Acorn Setup

Hi Eric
I have used a few of these estop switches with enclosures from automation direct. not as cost effective as the ones you purchased, but if you cannot wait on the slow boat, they have them in stock and you can get them pretty quick

this one has one NO and two NC contacts blocks included

they have the contact blocks
