MAXTOR MOV-03 Mushroom Button Emergency Stop Valve 1/8''

MAXTOR MOV-03 Mushroom Button Emergency Stop Valve: Fast and Safe Stopping in Pneumatic Systems

In industrial automation lines and pneumatic machinery, stopping the system quickly and safely in an emergency is vital. The MAXTOR MOV-03 Mushroom Button Emergency Stop Valve is a safety valve designed to fulfill this critical task, operating on the push-to-lock principle. Its ergonomic design and easy accessibility instantly interrupt the pneumatic circuit in the event of danger, helping to prevent accidents.

What is MAXTOR MOV-03 and How Does It Work?

The MAXTOR MOV-03 is a manually operated directional control valve installed in the air supply line of a pneumatic system. Its large, red "mushroom" button is easily recognizable and easy to press. The "emergency stop" valve shuts off the air flow when pressed and remains locked in this position until it can be reset by pulling the button again.

Working Principle (3/2 Way Valve):

• Normal Condition: When the button is not pressed, the valve is in the closed position. The air supply line is cut off and the air in the system is vented.

• Normal Operation: When the emergency stop button is pressed and then pulled (reset), the valve opens and starts the air flow.

• Emergency Stop: When the button is pressed, the valve immediately closes and locks. Air in the system is cut off, and pneumatic equipment (cylinders, valves, etc.) stops. The valve will not open until manually reset by pulling the button again.

This "lock-on" feature ensures that the operator only needs to press the button once and the system cannot be activated until the danger is eliminated.

Highlights and Advantages of MAXTOR MOV-03:

• Fast and Safe Stop: In an emergency, it allows you to stop the entire pneumatic system with a single action.

• Ergonomic and Easy to Notice: The large red mushroom button ensures easy recognition and quick intervention in case of danger.

• Lockout Function: When the button is pressed, the valve is locked. This prevents the system from restarting until the emergency situation is over.

• Wide Operating Range: It operates safely at 0-10 bar operating pressure and in a wide temperature range from -5°C to +50°C .

• Durable Construction: The body is made of durable aluminum die-casting material. Stainless steel internal parts and NBR sealing elements ensure long-lasting and reliable performance.

• Compact Size: 1/8'' threaded connection diameter allows easy integration into small and medium-sized pneumatic systems.

• Versatility: Suitable for fluids such as compressed air, vacuum and neutral gases.

Areas of Use:

• Industrial Machinery: In all machines containing pneumatic equipment such as presses, cutting machines, robotic arms, conveyors.

• Automation Lines: To ensure worker safety in production and assembly lines.

• Pneumatic Control Panels: As an emergency shutdown button on control panels.

• Hazardous Environments: Wherever safety is required in factories, workshops and other industrial environments.
