Moeller RMQ16 Series provides Compactness without Compromising Control
![[picture of RMQ16 devices]](images/rmq16_samples.jpg)
Today’s machine builders are looking for smaller and smaller control panels through which to convey increasingly complex information. A reduction in physical size, however, must in no way impact upon functionality and ease of use, principles upon which Moeller Electric’s RMQ16 range of control circuit devices are firmly based.
The comprehensive RMQ16 range offers compactness without compromising the quality of command, control or signalling. This is achieved through the use of space-efficient 18 × 18mm fronts which gives three times the density of conventional 22mm ranges. Device types available include illuminated and non-illuminated pushbuttons, available in both stay-put and spring-return form; flush and extended indicator lights for filament bulbs and LEDs; two and three position switches, in illuminated and non-illuminated formats; and tamper-proof emergency-stop buttons.
LEDs are available in red, green, white and blue. LEDs have significantly longer working lives than fragile filament bulbs and will last as long as the lifetime of the machine. The push-button plates are abrasion proof so that they remain clearly marked through out their full operating life.
The RMQ16 provides easy set-up snap-fit contacts and has colour coding to prevent wiring errors. Insulated sleeves prevent contact with live parts. Double push-on connectors enable the direct connection of power cables. Screw adapters are also available in addition to the fast-on connectors. An IP65 rating, and a generous operating temperature range of -25°C to +55°C make the RMQ16 ideal for the most demanding of industrial environments.
