Need to lock a guard or gate while hazardous machinery is running? This actuator from Schmersal can be used with the AZM 300 solenoid interlock safety switch for improved safety in your industrial workspace. The component can be used for either hinged or sliding doors, making it a versatile choice. For greater ease of use, you can also use this actuator with the solenoid interlock switch as an end stop, so there's no need for a separate door stop.

• Designed for symmetrical mounting to eliminate the need for a right-handed or left-handed version
• Locking portion of the actuator offers a wide range of tolerance for ease of installation
• Three LEDs (light-emitting diodes) on the switch clearly indicate operating status

• Workshop machinery
• Sawmills
• Industrial automation

The switch has a coded RFID (radio-frequency identification) sensor for safe identification of the appropriate actuator, reducing the risk of tampering.

Solenoid interlock switches like this one are operated by magnetic force. They use positive opening safety contacts to hold the guard closed until a hazardous machine process is complete.
