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.
