This Schmersal safety switch is ideal for monitoring hinged guards for signs of hazardous conditions in machine operations. Its operating shaft is fixed to the hinge bolt so that the shaft will rotate when the guard opens and break the NC (normally closed) contact. A rotation as small as 2° will create a positive break with the contact, making it a highly reliable choice for improving machine safety. The strong aluminium housing is corrosion-resistant for long-lasting performance, while its IP67 (ingress protection) rating means it's dust-tight and water-resistant for use in harsh environments.

• Compact dimensions of 65.3 (length) x 40.5 (width) x 107mm (height) for use in tight spaces
• Maximum voltage of 230V AC or 24V DC for use in a variety of applications
• Wide operating temperature range of -25°C to +70°C for use in harsh environments
• Screw connection for simple, secure installation

• Industrial processing
• Pharmaceutical manufacturing
• Robotics

The switch has a mechanical lifespan of over 1,000,000 operations, so it will last a long time and won't need frequent replacement.
