One N/O and one N/C or two N/C contact configurations are available to satisfy dual channel safety monitoring requirements.
The new T2011 universal tongue-operated safety interlock switch is just slightly longer at 25mm wide and 113mm long, but includes two N/C and one N/O or three N/C contact configurations to support dual channel safety monitoring and status monitoring.
It is small, yet extremely versatile with a glass-filled thermoplastic housing allowing the T2011 to be used in most applications while providing a minimum of two million actuations.
Both switches feature NEMA6/IP67 enclosures to ensure rugged, reliable operation in water washdown environments, as well as a rotatable head that provides eight possible actuator entry points for versatile installation and use.
An optional yellow slide bolt with integral handle and metal construction helps facilitate quick installation, easy recognition and long life on machine guards in the most demanding applications.
An optional stainless steel alignment guide aids actuator entry.
