Safety Products

• Non-Contact Magnetic Safety Switches

• Safety Interlock Switches

• Available in industry standard style plastic and stainless steel housings
• Styles: Non-contact magnetic and non-contact coded magnetic
• Wide (>10mm) sensing distance
• High tolerance to misalignment after sensing
• Enclosure protections: IP67, IP69K
• All Models: cULus, RoHS, CE approvals

Non-Contact Coded Magnetic Safety Switches
Coded non-contact safety switches use coded magnets to close the circuits, thereby offering even more protection. The safety switch and actuator work together in such a way that the enable condition from the safety device is only triggered if the actuating element is within the switch's response range and the code on the actuator matches that of the switch. 

Non-Contact Magnetic Safety Switches
These are simple magnetic reed switches and are designed to conform to IEC 60947-5-3 and be used as directed by EN1088, EN ISO12100 and EN 60204-1.
