Schneider Electric XALK178GH7 Push-button Control Station

Product Description

The SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC XALK178GH7 is a push-button control station designed for industrial control panel and machinery applications. It features a red mushroom head operator with a turn-to-release switch action and a NO/2NC contact configuration, making it a standard choice for emergency stop and control circuits. Rated NEMA 4X and 13 with IP66 ingress protection, the unit resists dust, oil, and water intrusion. It complies with UL 508, CSA C22.2 No. 14, and multiple EN/IEC standards. Licensed electricians and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers. The station ships as a single operator assembly with no legend marking.

The XALK178GH7 is suited for use on industrial machinery, manufacturing lines, and automated equipment where a hardwired emergency stop or control point is required. Its NEMA 4X and 13 dual rating makes it appropriate for both indoor and washdown environments. The turn-to-release mushroom head configuration meets common machine safety requirements for latching stop functions in light industrial and heavy manufacturing settings.
