Safety Switches, Interlocks & E-Stops
Switches that tell a safety circuit if a guard is closed or a pull cord has been tripped. Items include non contact safety switches, solenoid interlock switches, safety interlock switches, door interlock switches, rope pull switches and interlock components. Components for building interlock systems are listed here too, so a guard door can be completed from one page.
They are fitted on machine doors, hatches and long conveyors so that opening a guard or pulling a cord stops the hazard. Consider the actuator type, any need for guard locking, the contact configuration and the housing material.
- Monitoring guard doors on machines
- Locking doors until motion stops
- Emergency stopping along long conveyors
