Safety Switch Description
Safety switch with separate actuator. Housing made of glass fibre reinforced technopolymer, self-extinguishing, shock-proof and with double insulation. This safety lock comprises one threaded PG 13,5 conduit entry, 2NC, slow action contact blocks, a head with separate actuator and positive opening. Protection degree: IP67 acc. to EN 60529 with cable gland presenting same or higher protection degree.
This safety switch is ideal for controlling gates, sliding doors and other guards which protect dangerous parts of machines without inertia. The stainless steel actuator is fastened to the moving part of the guard in such a way that it is separated from the switch each time the guard is opened. A special mechanism ensures that removing the actuator forces the positive opening of the electrical contacts. Easy to install, these switches can be used with all types of guards (with hinge as well as sliding and removable types). The possibility to actuate the switch only with a specific actuator guarantees that the machine can be restarted only after the guard has been closed.
Head with variable orientation
For all switches, the head can be adjusted in 90° steps after removing the two fastening screws. In this way it is possible to actuate the switch from 5 different directions.
Wide-ranging actuator travel
The actuation head of this switch features a wide range of travel. In this way the guard can oscillate along the direction of insertion (4 mm) without causing unwanted machine shutdowns. This wide range of travel is available in all actuators in order to ensure maximum device reliability.
Not detachable head
To make head adjustment safer and smoother, these switches are equipped with a special head to body coupling system. This system makes it impossible to remove the head from the device even during adjustment, thus rendering the use of one-way screws unnecessary for locking the head in position once adjustment is complete.
