Magnetically Actuated Switches
These switches actuate when a magnet comes within sensing distance, and reset when the magnet moves away. They’re often used to detect when a door or window opens. Mount the switch in a stationary position, such as a door frame, and mount the magnet to a movable object, such as the door. They do not include a safety relay and cannot be used with safety-guard doors found on machinery.
Switches with a plug connect to cables with a socket (sold separately), allowing you to quickly connect and disconnect the switch.
Switches with an LED status indicator let you visually confirm that it’s connected and whether it’s actuated.
IP65 rated switches protect against rinsing and dust. IP67 rated switches protect against temporary submersion, as well as dust and dirt. IP68 rated switches protect against washdowns and continuous submersion. Use IP69K rated switches in demanding environments, such as roadways.

RFID Safety Switches

The convenient, modern alternative to mechanical safety switches. These RFID switches are easier to install, fit a wider range of access points, and can mount horizontally. Since they don't need a traditional key to actuate, they work even if the switch and actuator are slightly misaligned. Also known as interlock switches, they shut off power to equipment as soon as you open the barrier, which disconnects the RFID signal. These switches are often used with small machines. Find them anywhere from a CNC machine’s window to a packaging machine’s service panel. Mount the switch on the frame and the actuator on the barrier. Rated IP67 and IP69K, these switches are protected against temporary submersion and high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns.
The number of safety outputs, also known as output signal switching devices (OSSDs), tells you how many machines you can control. Each output has a pair of signals that shut down a single machine—if one signal fails, the other takes over as a failsafe.
Switches with a magnetic latch help prevent a barrier from opening by accident, such as from light bumps and low vibrations. The magnet keeps the actuator and switch from separating.
Micro M12 cords (sold separately) connect switches to your system’s circuits.

Tamper-Resistant RFID Safety Switches

Block access to machinery while it's running. These safety switches cut power when their signal disconnects, shutting off equipment as you open machine guards. They link to a single actuator, so no other RFID tag or card can interfere. The unique RFID code means that once the power is cut, no one can bypass the switch and restart equipment while the guard is open.
These switches are often used with small machines where there’s no risk of the barrier closing on its own. Find them anywhere from a CNC machine’s window to a machine-operated saw’s service panel. Mount the switch on the frame and the actuator on the barrier. They're also known as interlock switches. Rated IP67 and IP69K, these switches are protected against temporary submersion and high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns.
The number of safety outputs, also known as output signal switching devices (OSSDs), tells you how many machines you can control. Each output has a pair of signals that shut down a single machine—if one signal fails, the other takes over as a failsafe.

Electronic Status-Indicating Slotted-Drive Cam Locks

Trigger a light, alarm, or other device to signal your door is unlocked. These locks have a magnet on the cam that is detected by a sensor (required, sold separately). When you unlock the door, the magnet moves out of the sensing range, activating a switch that turns your device on or off. Lock the door to reset the switch. When choosing a lock, consider the magnet location that works best for your setup. Install your sensor next to the side of the cam where the magnet is located. You cannot use these locks near existing magnetic fields, since they could interfere with the sensor.
These locks open with a slotted screwdriver (not included) for a simple keying system. Also known as quarter-turn locks, they have a cam that rotates 90° to close enclosure doors. You can adjust the cam’s latching distance, so these locks are best for jobs when precise distances are unknown. Adjust the position of the cam before installing.
A gasket stops dust and water from getting into your sealed enclosure through the lock. This helps you maintain the enclosure’s IP65 and NEMA 4 ratings.
Sensors with a light illuminate when the latch is open, so you can see the inside of your enclosure when you swing open the door.
Single pole, double throw (SPDT) sensors can be set to turn a device from off to on (normally open) or from on to off (normally closed).
