Schmersal Actuator for AZ Safety Switch, Small Radius B2 - AZ15/16-B2


This actuator from Schmersal is designed to be used with an AZ safety switch. It's responsible for opening or closing the electrical circuit of the switch and is suited to controlling the operation of machine guards. The angled actuator has a small actuating radius of 45mm which makes it useful in confined areas. Safety switches with separate actuators are a particularly good choice for sliding, hinged and removable safety guards, which need to be closed to ensure the necessary operational security. They can also be fitted on profile sections and existing equipment.

Features and Benefits


• Strong and durable metal actuator that won't easily rust
• Plastic handle for ease of use and to improve operator comfort

Application Information


• Mining industry
• Hydrocarbons and minerals
• Industrial automation
• Automotive industry

What's meant by 'machine guarding'?


A machine guard is a shield or device that's used to prevent operators from coming into bodily contact with hazardous areas of machinery. It's the first line of defence against injuries caused by machine operation.

How does a safety switch work with a separate actuator?


On actuation, the switching element and actuator are brought together or separated. When the actuator is withdrawn, the positive-opening NC (normally closed) contact is always open.
