Refer to pages 6 and 7 for more information about degrees of protection and electrical ratings.

Protective Guarding

Protective guarding around a dangerous machine can be achieved with tamper-resistant safety switches. Safety switches incorporate positive opening operation such that even a welded contact will be mechanically broken and a stop signaled. These switches monitor the position of moveable guards and doors, which are used to safeguard access to equipment and provide protection from ejected pieces, chips, projectiles or oil. These safeguards require a relatively low investment and provide reliable protection if they are regularly checked and maintained.

Cable Pull Switches

Cable-pull limit switches serve as a readily accessible means of emergency stop for applications. These cable-pull devices are visible, accessible and easy to use and they immediately open the emergency stop circuit when activated.
