PSENmag switches can be used for applications in which the risk analysis specifies a high category, where there is heavy soiling or where strict hygiene regulations need to be met. For applications in which it is difficult to align the gates accurately, where machine gates are subject to a high level of vibration and where large tolerances are required on start up, PSENmag switches are the right choice. As the process is running, they ensure that the machine operates provided the safety gate is closed. If the movable guard is opened, they work in conjunction with Pilz evaluation devices to ensure that the machine is shut down quickly. Together they provide a complete solution that's safe and approved, all from one source.

• Mechanically Non-Wearing - Long Service Life
• Insensitive to Shock and Vibration

• Mechanical Operation
• Radius or Standard Actuators
• Guard Locking Types Available
• IP65/IP67 Protection
• UL; cUL Approvals

PSENmech mechanical safety switches are suitable for safe monitoring of a movable guard. They are triggered if the guards are opened, and the hazardous machine movement is stopped via a Pilz evaluation device. Using increased extraction force on the actuator, PSENmech safety switches prevent the safety gate from being opened unintentionally. They comply with the standard EN 1088 (protection against defeat) due to their coded actuators. PSENmech safety switches with guard locking ensure that the safety gate is interlocked (guard locking) until the hazardous production process is complete. They can also prevent production from being interrupted as a result of unauthorized access.

• Robust Design for Long Service Life
• Suitable for a Variety of Applications

• Non-Contact Coded Operation
• Highest Degree of Manipulation Protection
• Environmental Protection from IP65 to IP69k
• UL and cUL Approvals
• Optional ATEX approval

PSENcode safety switches offer a complete, co-ordinated solution that's economical and safe. The safety switch and actuator work together in such a way that the enable condition from the safety device is only triggered if the actuating element is within the switch's response range and the code number on the actuator matches that of the switch. Connecting several PSENcode switches in series, up to Category 4. Two versions of this key lock principle are available: one for use with any actuator or one with an actuator that is uniquely assigned to the PSEncode.

• Mechanically Non-Wearing - Long Service Life
• Insensitive to Shock and Vibration

• Electrical or Mechanical Guard Locking
• Optional Escape Release from the Rear
• Contacts Monitor both Door Position and Locking State
• Adjustable Actuator Head for Multiple Approach Directions
• Protection Ratings IP65 or IP67

Due to its die-cast aluminum housing and the high degree of protection, the TP Series safety switch can withstand even extreme ambient conditions. Like the switches TP and STP, the safety switch STA also has guard locking and guard lock monitoring. The TP Series has a narrow profile thermoplastic housing with many variations to meet a variety of different needs.
Thanks to their slim design, series TP safety switches are ideal for universal mounting on profile rails.

The PSENslock non-contact safety gate system from Pilz offers a safe alternative to existing mechanical technology. PSENslock combines secure safety gate monitoring and a non-contact magnetic interlock within one unit. With this combination of safe position monitoring and process guard locking, PSENslock can be used universally for right or left-hinged swing gates and sliding gates, and is particularly suitable for use on movable guards. With an electromagnetic holding force of 500 or 1000 Newtons, the PSENslock prevents swing gates and sliding gates from being opened unintentionally. The actuator is manipulation-proof, providing added safety. With its compact design, the process guard-locking device is extremely suitable for mounting on to standard 45 mm profiles.
PSENslock is designed for applications up to SIL 3 in accordance with IEC 62061, Category 4 in accordance with EN 954-1 and protection type IP67. In terms of a complete solution, PSENslock can be connected to all Pilz evaluation devices.
