Z-Range Hinge Safety Switches with OSSD Outputs

Z-Range Hinge Safety Switches with OSSD Outputs

  • Maintains PLe safety level even when connected in series.
  • LED diagnostic functions and auxiliary outputs for extra diagnostic signals to PLCs.
  • A maximum of 30 switches can be connected in series.
  • HS-SS-Z’s hygienic design is perfect for high pressure washdowns with detergents.
  • Uses rotating action of an enclosed cam profile and sensing components to operate.
  • Can be adjusted upon installation to provide guard-open output signal anywhere between 0 to 10 degrees.
  • 800N Axial holding force

The HS-Z have been designed to be mounted for interlock position sensing of hinged moving guards. They are fitted to the hinged axis of machine guard doors to provide a robust hinge function in addition to interlock position sensing.

All HS-Z switches are factory set to provide the guard open output signal at 3 degrees. Once set during installation the HS-Z is permanently pinned in order to provide a fully tamper-resistant switching point.
