Schmersal Product Ranges

 

Schmersal Solenoid Interlock Switches: The AZM Range

The Schmersal AZM range has been designed to prevent the opening of safety guards like fences, flaps and doors until all hazardous conditions are eliminated. The solenoid interlocks of the AZM series works alongside the control part of the machine like the Schmersal Fail-Safe Delay Timers or the Schmersal Fail-Safe Standstill Monitors. The solenoid interlocks AZM 161, 170, 190 and 415 are fitted with protection against incorrect locking. Individual coding of the actuator on certain units is possible.

The Schmersal solenoid interlocks AZM range can mount in any position required by your system. Protection class of the solenoid interlocks is IP 54, IP 65 or IP 67. The AZM range comes in double insulated thermoplastic enclosures.

Equipped with an emergency exit/release suitable for retrofitting and a sensor technology allowing an offset between actuator and interlock of ± 5 mm vertically and ± 3 mm horizontally. Allows manual release.
 

Schmersal Magnetic Safety Sensors: The BNS Series

The BNS series magnetic safety sensors are used to monitor the position of sliding, hinged or removable safety guard. The advantages of magnetic safety sensors are more apparent in cases of extreme rough condition with a requirement for high hygienic standards to be maintained. This is provided by the simplicity of cleaning of the devices.

The BNS series is popular in applications where larger tolerances are required. These devices comprise a multi-channel magnetic safety sensor and an actuating magnet. All magnetic safety sensors are in thermoplastic enclosures and protected to protection class IP 67 or 65. Some of these sensors are extremely popular in the food processing industry like the Schmersal BNS 16, BNS 33.
