SCHMERSAL AZM300 RFID Safety Interlock

The innovative, patented operating principle with rotating shaft and star handle is one of the unique features of the AZ/AZM 300. The advantage is that the safety door, when in a close position can be pulled-to and held with practically no free-play. The solenoid interlock is therefore used as a door stop, which eliminates the need for the use of a separate door stop. The integrated locking ensures that the door remains in the locked position after the interlock is released and does not pop open on its own. The latching force can be increased from 25 N to 50 N simply by turning the star handle 180°. For safe identification of the actuator an RFID sensor is used, featuring three different coding levels thus providing protection against tampering. For applications that do not require a solenoid interlock, the structurally identical safety switch AZ300 is available.
