AutomationDirect GCX1131 Emergency Stop Button

The GCX1131 Emergency Stop Pushbutton from AutomationDirect is a 22mm twist-to-release safety switch with a red mushroom operator, designed for rugged control panels in harsh industrial environments; it mounts in a standard 22mm panel hole, features a metal base and metal bezel for robust mounting, and includes a single normally closed (NC) contact. Rated IP65 for protection against dust and water, the device's enclosure maintains performance in dirty or damp settings, and the twist-to-release mechanism helps prevent accidental resets by requiring a deliberate action to re-arm after actuation. The red actuator provides immediate visual indication of emergency stop status, supporting quick operator recognition in high-stakes situations, and the GCX1131 integrates with AutomationDirect’s GCX family of pushbuttons for consistent panel design and replacement parts. Common applications include safeguarding conveyors, presses, hoists, and other automation equipment where a clearly visible stop is required to meet safety standards.
