Protect your operators from dangerous machine processes with this solenoid interlock switch from Schmersal. Its electromagnetic locking mechanism prevents your machine guards from accidentally opening during operation to minimise process disruption. The switch's NC safety contacts keep your guards locked in the event of a sudden power failure, preventing injuries from hardware that remains dangerous after deactivation. As it locks when energised, the switch activates alongside your machinery for enhanced efficiency.

• IP67 rating means it's dust-tight and protected against submersion in 1m of water for up to 30 minutes
• Strong clamping force of 1000N to ensure guards and gates remain locked during machine operation
• IDC termination method for quick and simple electrical connections
• Compact dimensions of 30 (length) x 90 (width) x 84mm (height) to minimise bulk in your setup

• Hazardous areas
• Woodworking industry
• Automated assembly lines

This interlock switch doesn't come with an actuator, meaning you can install the type of actuator that's best suited to the demands of your application.
