Want to protect personnel from potentially dangerous equipment? This interlock switch from OMRON is just the tool for the job. It features a roller plunger actuator that's on hand to control the state of the contacts. When an object touches this plunger, it causes the contacts to switch, making or breaking the circuit. With a speed range of 1mm/s to 0.5m/s, it changes the contact position in a jiffy. An operating frequency of 30 operations/minute means this durable unit can stand up to the rigours of constant use.

• Reliable performance in a wide operating temperature range between -30°C and +70°C
• Mechanical life of 15 million cycles for lasting operation
• Direct opening mechanism of switch enables operation with contact deposit
• Resists shock and vibration to withstand harsh conditions
• Lead, cadmium and hexavalent chrome-free for reduced environmental impact

• Consumer appliances
• Oil and gas industry
• Printing presses
• Assembly plants

As the plunger dips in response to physical contact, it's best suited for use in machine components with limited mounting space or where brief, controlled movements are necessary.
