Pull-wire, emergency-stop switches
Pull-wire, emergency-stop switches and wire-tensioning devices for safety-oriented applications make up the new range from Schmersal.
The double-gate lifts are very large, long lifts used to move supplies around the ship from one deck to another.
Solenoid locking switches are used as there isn't the space in the lift area to activate the locks in the normal way.
Explaining the reasons for specifying Schmersal's double solenoid locking switches, Mike Millen, IMLS's managing director says: "We needed a switch with the usual lock contacts as well as a positive lock and a solenoid device that could un-latch the gate.
The switch also needed to be small enough and slim enough for use in the restricted space and Schmersal's AZM was the only one that could do the job." Commenting for Schmersal, managing director Terry Hayward says: "This application demonstrates that with such a wide and innovative range, you can find a Schmersal switch to suit virtually any application." IMLS has been servicing the marine lift and escalator industry for over ten years, with clients including Cunard QE2, P and O Stena, Princess Cruises and Royal Fleet Auxiliary ships for the Ministry of Defence (MOD).
