The E48 Safety Key Interlock Limit Switch is designed to be used with movable guards or covers which must be closed for operational safety. The key portion of the switch is affixed to the movable door, cover or other such guard. The switch itself is mounted to a rigid portion of the machine. When the guard is opened, the key is removed from the switch, thereby positively breaking the normally closed contacts. This interrupts the control circuit, stopping machine operation.
NEMA Standard Key Interlock Switch
Three simultaneous mechanical actions occur when the key is inserted into the operating head to make it difficult to defeat with common tools
Rugged cast aluminum body stands up to harsh industrial environments
Three actuating key styles for mounting flexibility including a self-aligning version
Choose from 1N.O.-1N.C. or 2N.C. DPDB contacts
Operating head and switch body interlock for strength and a sure fit
Four unique head mounting positions
1/2 – 14 NPT conduit entrance or pin connector versions
All models meet UL, CSA, European and International requirements
