Why Choose the ABB MPEP3-10R Emergency Stop Pushbutton?
The ABB MPEP3-10R is a modular 30 mm emergency stop pushbutton operator designed for safety-related operator control on industrial machinery, production equipment and automation systems. Part of the ABB modular plastic pilot device range, it features a highly visible red mushroom-head actuator with a pull-release mechanism for deliberate resetting after operation.
The MPEP3-10R provides a maintained emergency-stop action. Pressing the mushroom actuator latches the operator in its actuated position, while resetting is achieved by deliberately pulling the actuator. This operating principle provides a clear and intuitive emergency-stop interface for industrial machinery where the stop command must remain mechanically actuated until manually reset.
Designed for use with 22 mm ABB pilot devices, the MPEP3-10R is a non-illuminated operator that can be combined with a suitable holder and contact blocks to create the required emergency-stop assembly. Its robust plastic construction and IP66 protection rating support dependable operation in demanding industrial control environments.

Reliable Emergency-Stop Control for Industrial Machinery
Emergency-stop pushbuttons provide operators with a readily identifiable means of initiating a machine stop when an emergency condition occurs. The ABB MPEP3-10R uses a 30 mm red mushroom actuator that remains mechanically latched after being pressed, helping ensure that the emergency-stop command remains actuated until a deliberate reset is performed.
The pull-release mechanism requires the mushroom actuator to be intentionally pulled to reset the operator. As part of ABB's modular pilot-device system, the MPEP3-10R can be combined with a suitable holder and appropriate contact blocks to create an emergency-stop assembly matched to the control and safety requirements of the machine.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery emergency-stop stations.
- Manufacturing and production equipment.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Machine-tool control panels.
- Industrial operator stations and control enclosures.
- OEM machinery and automation systems.
