Use this safety switch from Schmersal to ensure equipment isn't inadvertently opened in dangerous operating conditions. It fits to the hinge of a panel or door and breaks the power supply to a component when it's opened. The reliable safety device works automatically, so there's no need for manual operation. It's compatible with both left and right-hinged doors and can be mounted inside or outside a safety guard for added versatility. It also features an adjustable switching angle, so it can be customised to meet the demands of your application.
