Why Choose the ABB MPET3-10B Machine Stop?
The ABB MPET3-10B is a robust machine stop pushbutton operator designed for dependable operator control on industrial machinery, control panels and automation equipment. Part of the ABB modular pilot device range, it features a black 30 mm mushroom-head actuator and a twist-release mechanism for deliberate resetting after operation.
The MPET3-10B uses a maintained operating function, meaning the mushroom actuator remains in its operated position after being pressed until it is intentionally released by twisting the actuator. This makes it suitable for machine-stop and maintained control functions where a clear manual reset action is required.
Designed for ABB's modular pilot-device system, the MPET3-10B is a non-illuminated operator with black plastic construction and is supplied without a contact block. It provides IP66 front-side protection and can be combined with compatible ABB holders and contact blocks to create the required machine-control arrangement.

Reliable Machine-Stop Control for Industrial Machinery
Machine-stop pushbuttons provide operators with a clear manual interface for stopping or interrupting machine operation through an appropriate control circuit. The ABB MPET3-10B uses a 30 mm black mushroom actuator that remains mechanically maintained after operation, helping provide an unambiguous indication that the operator has been actuated.
The twist-release mechanism requires a deliberate manual action before the operator returns to its normal position. As part of ABB's modular pilot-device range, the MPET3-10B can be combined with suitable holders and contact blocks to create a machine-stop control assembly matched to the electrical requirements of the application.
