Euchner said that its ZSM enabling switch features a modern, modular, lightweight and ergonomic design, which makes it suitable for many different control and safety related functions.
Compact dimensions coupled with sturdy die cast zinc housing and robust design ensures it can cope with high mechanical loads.
IP67-rated protection also permits the ESH safety hinge to be deployed in harsh environments.
The new safety hinge can be mounted on 30mm and 45mm wide aluminium profiles, while the switching point is freely adjustable from -10 deg to 180 deg.
ESH possesses two switching elements.
Depending on the model, these may be one positive opening NC contact and one NO contact, or two positive opening NC contacts.
A minimum current of 1mA switches the contacts hence ESH is ideal for use in safe control systems.
The product can also be connected to an evaluation unit via an M12 plug connector.
