WEG CSW Push Buttons & Pilot Devices

Modular 22 mm & 30 mm operators built for configurable control stations.

CSW modular operators deliver tool-free mounting, LED illumination, and a complete accessory ecosystem so you can engineer reliable operator stations in any environment. Combine plastic or metal bezels with stackable contact blocks, keyed selectors, and emergency-stop operators to standardize every panel door across your fleet.

Operator Platforms

CSW 22 mm Plastic
Flush, extended, mushroom, selector, and key-operated versions with quarter-turn latching bezels.
CSW40 30 mm Metal
Die-cast metal bodies, positive-guided contacts, and heavy-duty keyed selectors for harsh duty.
Emergency Stops
40/60 mm actuators with twist- or key-reset, positive-opening contacts, and optional protective shrouds.

Mechanical Ratings

Mechanical Life:
Up to 3 million cycles for maintained operators; 1 million for E-stop duty.
Ingress Protection:
IP66/IP69K, UL Type 4X/12 with appropriate sealing accessories.
Operating Temperature:
-25 °C to +70 °C standard, optional low-temperature kits available.

Electrical Ratings

Contact Blocks:
600 V UL listed, 10 A AC-15/600 V, bifurcated gold contacts for low-level control.
Illumination:
Field-replaceable LED modules 12–240 VAC/DC with resistor networks for AC/DC compatibility.
Safety Circuits:
Positive-opening blocks meet EN 60947-5-5 and ISO 13850 for Category 4 circuits.

Panel Integration

  • Snap-on contact blocks stack up to six deep with late-make/early-break options.
  • Pluggable terminals simplify harnessing and allow pre-wired operator stations.
  • Legend plates, protective boots, and padlock attachments maintain labeling compliance.
  • Modular signaling towers share bases, LED modules, and audible elements.

Design Advantages for OEM & MRO Teams

Tool-Free Mounting

Quarter-turn rings secure operators in seconds while maintaining high pull-out resistance for UL Type 4X panels.

Flexible Contact Stacks

Mix NO/NC, early-make, and late-break blocks with direct-mount accessories to build complex circuits in a compact footprint.

Brilliant Illumination

High-intensity LED modules with integrated resistors maintain uniform brightness across wide voltage ranges.

Complete Accessories

Assemble keyed selectors, potentiometers, joysticks, guards, legend plates, and pre-drilled enclosures from a single platform.
