Schmersal Actuator for AZM 161 Safety Switch, Straight - AZM 161-B1


Use this actuator from Schmersal to open or close the circuit of an AZM 161 solenoid interlocking safety switch. On actuation, the switching element and actuator are either brought together or separated to automatically control access to dangerous areas in a factory. This straight actuator is particularly well-suited to sliding doors used as access control points in industrial settings. The device is supplied with tamper-proof screws that stop unauthorised personnel from removing the actuator or interfering with the function of the safety switch.

Features and Benefits


• Made from tough and corrosion-resistant stainless steel
• Durable plastic handle for a long working life
• Strong interlocking system for maximum actuator holding force

Application Information


• Power generation
• Automotive manufacturing
• Printing industry
• Textile manufacturing

What triggers a safety switch?


The safety switch is triggered when it detects a change in the flow of electricity through the circuit it's connected to, such as when a machine starts up. The switch then automatically carries out a safety function, like closing a gate, to ensure no operators enter the area.

How does an actuator work?


An actuator responds to an electrical current control signal from a safety switch and converts this into a mechanical motion.
