This coded actuator from Schmersal is used as part of a safety switch to cut power to a machine in the event of a hazardous situation. As it's a magnet-type actuator, it doesn't make physical contact, minimising mechanical wear for reduced maintenance and a long service life. The unit is constructed from V4A stainless steel, which is a chrome-nickel steel alloy with added molybdenum. This means it's resistant to corrosion and has a high degree of strength and vibration resistance for use in heavy-duty environments.

• IP69K (ingress protection) rating ensures the actuator is protected against dust and high-temperature, high-pressure water jets
• Rear-facing concealed threaded holes for protection against contaminants to allow for use in hygienic environments
• Insensitive to transverse misalignment for ease of installation

• Food packaging
• Beverage manufacturing
• Biotechnology plants
• Pharmaceutical factories
• Chemical industry

This coded actuator has compact dimensions of 14.5 (length) x 88 (width) x 27mm (height), making it a good choice for installation in areas where space is limited.
