DESCRIPTION: The SCHMERSAL Positive-Break Hinged Safety Interlock Series are designed for use with hinged movable machine guards. Their tamper-resistant design and positive-opening NC and/or NO contacts provide a significantly higher level of safety than conventional, spring-driven limit switches often used to monitor hinged-guard position. Their IP67 rating make them ideal for interlocking safety guards in hostile environments.

APPLICATIONS: The Hinged Safety Interlock Switches are intended for use as a safety interlock switch on hinged, movable machine guards which, when open, expose operator/maintenance personnel to machine hazards. Their sealed design (IP67) and oil-tolerant seals make them ideal for use in hostile environments.
