M22-PVT45P

1. Overview

The Eaton M22-PVT45P is a 45mm palm/mushroom-head emergency stop pushbutton operator from the RMQ-Titan M22 modular series, formerly marketed under the Moeller brand. It is a non-illuminated, maintained-action (latching) actuator with twist-to-release reset, designed for panel-mount installation in industrial control systems. Catalog number 121462, EAN 4015081192823; ships as operator-only and requires separate contact blocks (e.g., M22-K01/M22-K10). Key variants: M22-PVT45P-MPI (catalog 121463, with mechanical position indicator), M22-PVT45P-B100 (100-unit bulk pack), M22-PVT45P-GB99 (labeled), and M22-PVT45P-GVP (green). Manufactured in Germany.

2. User Sentiment

No forum discussions, Reddit threads, or user reviews were found in the collected findings. The product appears exclusively in distributor and manufacturer catalog listings across 20+ countries, consistent with a professional safety-critical industrial component. Distribution breadth at DigiKey, Mouser, RS Components, Farnell/Newark, TME, Automation24, Grainger, and dozens of regional distributors across Europe, Asia, Americas, and the Middle East suggests strong market acceptance. One Rexel France listing noted the product as discontinued at that channel, but it remains active globally as of early 2026.

3. Real-World Applications

Deployed in electrical automation and control environments, typically in button stations, suspended operator panels, and control panels. The large 45mm palm-tree head is ergonomically designed for high-visibility, quick-palm-strike actuation in industrial settings. Suitable for all industrial sectors per Automation24's product description; IP66/IP67/IP69K ratings make it viable in wash-down and outdoor environments. Found listed in distributors serving machine builders, OEM automation, robotics, and process control industries globally. The ATEX-approved version (noted in RS India listing) extends applicability to hazardous/explosive atmospheres.

6. Known Issues

No significant issues reported in the available data. One Rexel France listing marked the product as discontinued at that specific channel, but it remains widely available globally. The operator-only configuration (requires separate contact blocks) is a common source of confusion for first-time buyers — the product ships without contacts and is non-functional until contact modules (M22-K series) are added. RSP Supply marks the item as non-cancellable/non-returnable, which is typical for safety-critical industrial components and should be noted when specifying for projects.
