Contact strips resist aggressive chemicals
The safety contact is co-extruded as an integral part of the profile, eliminating the need to 'fish' the safety contact into the profile, significantly reduced assembly time.
Both are quick and easy to install, and can be mounted on square tubing as small as 1in width.
These switches are available in solid or hollow shaft versions and provide force guided contacts with tamper-resistant operation.
A NEMA 6 enclosure enables them to withstand water washdown cleaning while providing a minimum of four million actuations on small swinging guard doors.
Each features a 360-degree rotating head that rotates in 90-degree increments to give four possible shaft operating positions.
HP2008 and HP2011 hinge-operated safety interlocks conform to European safety standards, carry the CE mark, are UL and C-UL listed, and BG approved.
