Product Overview

What The pendant control unit Is For

The XAC-A6913 is a compact, ergonomic pendant control unit with six double speed push buttons, designed for overhead cranes, hoists, winches and mobile lifting equipment. It features a rugged ABS plastic housing, mechanical interlock for safety, and a 100g shock-resistant construction. The unit operates at 500VAC with contacts rated at 10A, allowing direct control of contactor coils without additional relays. It is available in yellow housing with black and white buttons, including an emergency stop, and is built for single-hand operation in demanding industrial environments.

Key Benefits

What You Get From This Unit

Compact and ergonomic design allows one-hand operation in tight or busy workspaces
Mechanical interlock prevents conflicting button presses, improving safety during operation
Double speed control on all six buttons enables fast travel and precise positioning without extra hardware
Rated 10A at 500VAC allows direct switching of contactor coils, reducing the need for external relays
IP54 protection resists dust and splashing water, suitable for indoor industrial and outdoor yard use
Shock-resistant construction withstands drops and vibrations on a shop floor or mobile equipment

Application Scenarios

Where This Model Is Used

Hoists and winches used in construction, mining, or material handling where a trailing pendant is impractical
Mobile lifting equipment such as electric carts, tiller trucks, and garden machinery
Retrofit of an existing crane with a pendant control that matches the machine’s voltage and motion count
Maintenance teams replacing a worn or damaged pendant station with a new unit that fits the same panel

Who It Is For

Buyers This Model Suits

Crane and hoist OEMs integrating a control unit into new machine builds
Equipment dealers stocking a versatile pendant control that fits multiple machine types
Maintenance contractors replacing a failed or damaged pendant without rewiring the panel
Operators needing a reliable, one-handed control for precise load positioning

Problems It Solves

What Goes Wrong Without It

Existing pendant cable is damaged, frayed, or too short for safe operation
Operator must use two hands to operate the pendant, increasing risk during load movement
Control panel runs at 500VAC and a standard low-voltage control would require an external relay
No mechanical interlock causes accidental simultaneous operation of conflicting motions
Pendant unit fails in dusty or wet environments due to inadequate protection

Manufacturing Process

How This Unit Is Made

Step 1

Raw materials inspected before production begins

Step 2

Buttons and contacts assembled with mechanical interlock to prevent conflicting operations

Step 3

Housing molded and fitted with internal wiring and terminal blocks

Step 4

Each unit tested for contact continuity, button function, and emergency stop response

Step 5

Final inspection includes visual check, IP54 test, and shock resistance verification

Quality Control

What Is Checked Before It Ships

Each pendant tested under load for contact performance and button response
Emergency stop and interlock function verified on every unit
IP54 protection confirmed via dust and splash test
12-month warranty from delivery date

Comparison

How It Compares With The Alternatives

Wired pendant control with no interlock	Mechanical interlock prevents conflicting motions; a non-interlocked pendant risks accidental contactor overlap
F24 series radio remote control	Pendant offers direct physical feedback and no battery replacement; radio adds range but requires receiver and pairing
XAC series with single speed buttons	Double speed allows faster travel and precise positioning; single speed is slower for large movements

Use Guide

Getting It Onto The Machine

Confirm the control voltage and contactor rating on the crane panel before ordering
Select the button count based on the number of motions required, with one spare for future needs
Mount the pendant securely on the crane or equipment with the 1 m cable routed safely
Test the emergency stop and interlock function before first use
Record the model number and S/N for future replacement orders
