Use this two-hand control switch from ABB to ensure user safety when operating hazardous equipment. The product lets you operate machinery efficiently while, at the same time, keeping your hands away from danger. It consists of two Safeballs with a 2NO/2NC contact configuration, one on either end of an aluminium profile. Unless you push the buttons on each switch at the same time or 0.5 seconds apart, the unit won't actuate the attached machinery. Since both hands must be on the controllers, this switch prevents exposure to dangerous moving parts.

• Wide operating temperature range of 0°C to +55°C for use in hazardous environments
• IP65 rating indicates it's resistant to dust and water projected from a nozzle
• Polypropylene covers on the Safeballs are resistant to moisture and chemical damage

• Metalwork
• Printing industry
• Stamping units
• Powder metallurgy industry

Each Safeball is designed to switch DC loads of up to 30V and 2A. When used as an emergency stop, this device has a maximum AC switching capacity of 240V and 3A.

The port used to connect it has an M12 5-pole male configuration for versatility.
