Emergency stop mushroom push button actuator, Legrand 023882, red, rotary reset

Legrand 023882 is a red mushroom-style emergency stop push button actuator with a rotary reset mechanism intended for installation in industrial control panels and machinery safety circuits. The prominent mushroom head provides a large contact surface for quick manual intervention to interrupt power or control signals. Designed for panel mounting where a clearly visible, reliable emergency stop control is required, this actuator integrates into standard control stations and safety circuits to improve operator access to an immediate stop function.

Advantages

This red mushroom push button actuator offers a simple mechanical design with a rotary reset that prevents accidental re-engagement until deliberately released. Its large, high-visibility head enables fast location and operation under stress or low-light conditions. The actuator is compatible with common industrial panel cutouts and provides consistent feel and response for safety-critical applications.

Suitable for

• Industrial control panels and switchboards
• Machine emergency stop stations
• Production lines and conveyor systems
• Workshops, assembly stations, and test benches

Key specifications

• Actuator style: mushroom (large head) for easy manual actuation
• Color: red for emergency visibility
• Reset type: rotary reset requiring deliberate twist to release
• Mounting: designed for panel mounting in standardized cutouts
• Intended use: emergency stop actuator for safety circuits and control panels

How to use

Mount the actuator into the appropriate panel cutout following the panel manufacturer’s dimensional requirements and secure it according to installation instructions for the control station. Connect the associated emergency stop contacts or contact block in series with the safety circuit so that actuation interrupts power or control signals as required by your safety design. To trigger an emergency stop, press the mushroom head firmly until it latches. To reset the actuator after resolving the emergency, twist the head in the specified rotary direction until it releases and returns to the ready position.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, inspect the actuator periodically for debris, damage, and secure mounting; test the emergency stop function as part of routine safety checks and ensure wiring and contact blocks are compatible with your control system ratings.
