Schmersal Fully Flexible Actuator for Use with AZ 17 Safety Switch

This actuator from Schmersal is compatible with an AZ 17 electromechanical safety interlock switch. It's ideal for use on movable machine guards which, when open, expose the operator or maintenance personnel to potentially dangerous parts. The actuator features a geometrically unique design for improved levels of safety. It's flexible and can be easily adjusted into any desired position by using its set screw. An actuator such as this offers reliable and stable performance in demanding applications and is useful for controlling the opening and closing of protective gratings, access doors and hinged covers.

• Made from strong and durable steel for a long service life
• Good anti-corrosion properties to prevent the actuator from rusting quickly
• Very small actuating radius so suitable to use in confined areas
• Extremely lightweight at just 25g

• Rail and transport applications
• Automotive manufacturing
• Medical and pharmaceutical industries
• Power generation

By using a hexagonal wrench key, you can easily adjust the actuating radius of this component. Check to ensure that the axis of the hinge is 11mm above the top edge of the safety switch and in the same plane.
