Use this magnetic safety switch from Schmersal's BNS33 series on machine guards in hazardous industrial environments. It has a safe switch-on distance of 5 mm and switch-off distance of 15 mm, so it doesn't need direct contact to be activated. The switch is housed in a reinforced glass-fibre thermoplastic enclosure to protect it from mechanical wear.

• Compact dimensions of x 88.5 (length) x 25 (width) x 13 mm (height) for use in tight spaces
• IP67 (ingress protection) rated enclosure that's protected from dust and submersion for up to 30 minutes in 1 m of water, for industrial settings
• Concealed mounting possible for discreet installation

• Industrial machinery
• Electrical control systems
• Assembly lines

Magnetic non-contact safety switches are used in settings where contamination must be kept to a minimum, as they're easily cleaned and meet the highest hygiene standards. They're also suitable for applications where precise guidance of the protective device is difficult, for example on a production line.
