Key Features

• Integrated Rotacam Design: Mounts directly into the hinge, offering a compact and highly tamper-resistant safety solution, eliminating external brackets or actuators.
• Dual Normally Closed (N.C.) Safety Contacts: Provides a redundant safety circuit, guaranteeing immediate and reliable interruption of power when the guard is opened, enhancing operator protection.
• Single Normally Open (N.O.) Auxiliary Contact: Supplies a crucial signal for status monitoring, diagnostic feedback, or integration into complex control systems, improving operational awareness.
• Break-Before-Make (BBM) Contact Timing: Ensures that safety contacts open before auxiliary contacts close during actuation, preventing hazardous momentary overlaps and enhancing system integrity.
• Robust 85mm Long, 12.7mm Diameter Solid Actuator Shaft: Constructed for durability and precise engagement, providing a secure and reliable connection to the hinged guard even in rigorous industrial settings.
• Standard M20 Conduit Entry: Facilitates straightforward and secure integration into existing electrical systems, simplifying wiring and ensuring compliance with industrial cabling standards.
• High-Durability Construction: Built to withstand harsh industrial environments, ensuring a long operational life and consistent performance, reducing maintenance and replacement costs.
