Product Details
Idem guard locking switches are engineered for robust position interlock detection in moving guards, featuring a locking mechanism that secures the guard until hazards are eliminated. These tongue-operated switches are designed for installation on the leading edge of sliding or hinged machine guards, ensuring positively operated switching contacts and a tamper-resistant key mechanism that is difficult to defeat. They can function independently to provide positively operated contacts compliant with EN60947-5-1 or in conjunction with dual-channel safety monitoring relays to achieve up to Ple category 4 per ISO13849-1 or SIL3 per EN62061, depending on risk assessments. The switches come in various materials and housing styles, offering flexibility for diverse applications. Options include different contact blocks, LED diagnostics, and various actuators to facilitate installation while ensuring durability in demanding environments such as factory automation, packaging, food processing, pharmaceuticals, and petrochemical industries. Key features include eight actuator entry positions with a rotatable head, two lock monitoring safety contacts, a high holding force of 2000N, LED indicators for solenoid power and guard lock status, two emergency manual release points, an IP67 rating, and dimensions of 46mm wide, 176mm long, and 30mm for fixing.
