Use this actuator from Schmersal to control the operation of hinged safety guards. It's compatible with an AZM 161 safety switch to provide highly accurate control monitoring of hazardous locations in factories. The actuator is made from high-strength stainless steel, which stands up extremely well to mechanical stress without damage. Stainless steel is also corrosion-resistant so you can use this device in moist environments without worrying about rust. This actuator includes a centring guide to help ensure proper alignment of the component.

• Small actuating radius that's suitable to use in areas where space is restricted
• Can be moved into any desired position by simply adjusting the set screw

• Assembly lines
• Factory automation
• Mining and quarrying industries
• Rail and transportation applications

Hinged safety guards are widely used across industry. You'll find them on windows and equipment such as lathe machines where they're used to protect operators from flying chips, coolant and the rotating chuck.

Response times are almost instantaneous to provide optimal safety in dangerous work locations.
