Rapid Assembly
Quarter-turn latching rings secure operators to panels without tools. Stackable contact blocks allow up to six contacts per position.
Push Buttons & Pilot Devices
Modular CSW operators with LED illumination, locking accessories, and IP66/IP69K environmental protection.
WEG pilot devices cover 22 mm and 30 mm operator sizes with quick-mount bezels, modular contact blocks, and a broad library of accessories. Configure momentary or maintained functions, integrate with emergency-stop requirements, and add illuminated legend plates to create intuitive operator stations.
Key Differentiators
Visual Communication
Full LED illumination range, engraved legend plates, and modular signaling towers communicate status from across the plant.
Harsh-Duty Ratings
IP66/IP69K ingress protection, -25 °C to 70 °C operating range, and UL Type 4X chemical resistance support washdown applications.
Safety Compliance
Emergency-stop operators meet EN ISO 13850 with positive-opening contacts and optional protective shrouds for risk-reduction plans.
Pilot Device Essentials
Operator Options
- Mushroom, flush, extended, and double push buttons in maintained or momentary versions.
- Two-, three-, and four-position selector switches with key or lever actuation.
- Illuminated push buttons with field-replaceable LED modules (12–240 VAC/DC).
- Potentiometers, toggle switches, and joysticks for specialized control panels.
Contact Blocks
- Snap-on NO/NC blocks with bifurcated contacts for low-level switching.
- Positive-guided contact blocks for safety circuits.
- Late make/early break timing blocks for start/stop interlocks.
- Direct-mount blocks for shallow enclosures and confined spaces.
Accessories
- Legend plates, protective boots, padlock attachments, and guard rings.
- Enclosures for one-, two-, or three-hole operator stations.
- Signal towers with modular LED segments (steady, flashing, audible).
- Quick-disconnect terminals and mounting spacers for high-density panels.
