Schmersal Actuator, For Use with AZM 161 Safety Switch - AZM 161 Series - AZM 161-B1E
Prevent accidental access to hazardous areas of a factory with this actuator from Schmersal. It works together with a safety switch to keep sliding safety doors secure. The actuator is made of stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance and strength, and its thermoplastic handle stands up well to wear-and-tear. This means it will last a long time and operate reliably, even in harsh industrial environments. The actuator is supplied with tamper-proof screws to eliminate the risk of removal by unauthorised personnel, ensuring greater workplace safety.
