Description
These safety switches are ideal to control gates, sliding doors and other guards protecting dangerous parts of machine. The stainless steel actuator is fastened to the moving part of the guard, so it is removed from the switch on every opening of the guard. The switch mechanism guarantees that removing the actuator forces the positive opening of the electrical contacts. Easy to install, these switches can be applied to any kind of protection (with hinge, sliding and removable ones). Besides, the possibility to actuate the switch only with its actuator guarantees that the machine can be restarted only when the guard has been closed. Made of rugged materials and with oversized thickness, these switches are designed for the use on heavy guards.
Rotating Heads
Removing the two fastening screws, in all switches, the head can be rotated in 90° steps.
Actuator regulation zone
This switch has a wide backlash of the actuator into the head (4.5 mm) for an easier installation. With closed door, check that the actuator doesn’t knock straight against the head of the switch; it must be in the adjustment zone (0.5…5 mm)
Limits of utilization
Do not use where dust and dirt may penetrate in any way into the head and deposit there, in particular where metal dust, concrete or chemicals are spread. Do not use where explosive or inflammable gas is present. Use Atex products in environments with explosion hazard
