Schmersal Magnetic Non-Contact Safety Switch, M20, 100V AC/DC Voltage Rating - BNS16 Series - BNS 16-12ZL


Prevent unsafe access to running equipment with this non-contact safety switch from Schmersal. This sensor is designed to stop your machine once a guard door is opened, helping to prevent injury and machine damage. Its glass fibre-reinforced thermoplastic housing material provides resistance to impact and abrasion, so you can use it in harsh conditions. This material is also a good insulator to help protect you against electric shock. Thanks to its maximum switching current of 400mA, it's an energy-efficient choice.

Features & Benefits


• IP67 rating indicates that it's dust-tight and protected against immersion in up to 1m of water for 30 minutes
• Broad operating temperature range of -25°C to +70ºC for use in demanding environments
• Adheres to IEC 60947-5-3 standards for fault performance of proximity sensors
• Non-contact design minimises wear for an enhanced service life

Applications


• Material handling equipment
• Chemical processing plants
• Marine industry

Is this switch flame-resistant?


This switch's glass fibre-reinforced thermoplastic body is self-extinguishing, so it helps to prevent the spread of flames in the event of a fire for increased safety.
