Schmersal Actuator for Use with AZ Safety Switch AZ 15/16-B3

Schmersal AZ 15/16-B3 actuator is a precision component designed for use with the AZ Safety Switch to provide safety interlock functionality. This actuator is engineered with an angled, flexible design, allowing it to be installed easily in hard-to-reach locations and small spaces due to its minimum radius of 32 mm. It is specifically produced for hinged safety guards, enabling its application across various protective guarding needs.

The actuator can be firmly fixed using one-way screws to prevent tampering. When welding or riveting the actuator, care must be taken to maintain the insertion depth to guarantee proper switch operation. This ensures reliable monitoring of safety doors or guards, preventing machinery operation if guards are open.

Typical applications include mining and quarrying industries, rail and transport sectors, and factory automation environments where workplace safety is paramount. The actuator forms part of the safety interlock system which cuts power to hazardous equipment when the guarding is not securely closed, enhancing protection for operators and machinery alike.

This actuator is angled and flexible for straightforward installation in limited spaces. Minimum radius of 32 mm enables use in small installation areas. Compatible with hinged safety guards for versatile safety solutions.

Secure mounting with one-way screws prevents tampering and ensures stability. Installation by welding or riveting requires maintaining insertion depth for safety functionality. Suitably designed for demanding industrial applications including mining and transportation.

Critical for interlock safety systems to protect operators and machinery.
