Why Choose the Lovato S3P109110 Forward/Emergency Stop/Reverse Pushbutton Station?
The Lovato S3P109110 is a complete three-position plastic pushbutton control station designed to provide Forward, Emergency Stop and Reverse commands for industrial machinery. It combines two standard black directional pushbuttons with a prominent red 40 mm mushroom-head emergency-stop actuator, giving operators clearly differentiated machine-direction and safety controls in one compact station.
The Forward and Reverse pushbuttons each incorporate a 1NO contact, while the emergency-stop actuator uses a 1NC contact, providing an overall contact configuration of 2NO + 1NC. The emergency-stop button is a latching twist-to-release design, ensuring that it remains operated until deliberately reset by the operator.
Designed as the emergency-stop version of Lovato's three-way Forward/Stop/Reverse station, the S3P109110 uses a grey-cover plastic enclosure and an emergency-stop actuator specified to EN 418. Its populated design provides the required actuators and contact elements as a complete assembly, simplifying specification and installation on industrial machines and control systems.
Key Advantages
- Combines Forward, Emergency Stop and Reverse functions in one complete control station.
- Two directional pushbuttons provide dedicated Forward and Reverse commands.
- Prominent red 40 mm mushroom-head emergency-stop actuator for rapid identification.
- Twist-to-release latching action requires deliberate manual reset after emergency operation.
- Overall 2NO + 1NC contact configuration suits common industrial motor-control circuits.
- Complete populated plastic station reduces separate component selection and assembly requirements.

Integrated Directional and Emergency-Stop Machine Control
Industrial machines capable of operating in both forward and reverse directions require controls that allow operators to select movement clearly while retaining immediate access to an emergency-stop function. The Lovato S3P109110 combines these requirements in a single three-position station, with separate directional pushbuttons positioned around a highly visible red mushroom-head emergency-stop actuator.
Unlike the S3P107110 Forward/Stop/Reverse station, the S3P109110 incorporates the EN 418 emergency-stop version of the 40 mm mushroom actuator. When pressed, the emergency-stop actuator remains mechanically latched and must be deliberately twisted to release it, helping prevent an unintended automatic reset following emergency operation.
Typical Applications
- Forward and reverse industrial motor-control stations.
- Conveyor and material-handling equipment.
- Hoisting and positioning machinery.
- Packaging and processing equipment.
- Factory automation and production machinery.
- Local operator stations requiring Forward, Emergency Stop and Reverse controls.
