New safety switch with rotating actuator head
Schmersal is set to launch four new electromechanical safety switches with separate actuator : the AZ215 / AZ216 and AZ315 / AZ316 switches handle safety guard position monitoring of sideways or rotating guard doors . Their stand-out feature is the rotating actuator head made from diecast zinc , which can be easily rotated in 90 ° increments before installation . This allows the head to be approached from the side from four different directions , as well as from above . With this versatile approach position and possibility of combination with different actuators , the AZ series offers maximum flexibility in installation , as well as a range of universal usage options to the user . The designer can use the AZ switch both for right-hand and

left-hand design on rotating and sliding guard doors .
The plastic or metal switch housing is consistent in design and size with the PS 215 / 216 and PS 315 / 316 series position switches , giving the AZ switches an equally compact design and easy integration into the surrounding construction . The small AZ215 and AZ216 switches are consistent with standard EN
50047 , while the larger AZ315 and AZ316 switches satisfy standard EN 50041 .
In addition to the standard version with M20 cable entry and connection terminals , versions with 4 or 8-pin M12 connector are also available , depending on the number of contacts . With the inbuilt 8-pin connector , AZ switches can be connected to the SFB Safety Fieldbox . Device versions with three contacts in a wide range of combinations can also assume a signalling role in addition to their safety function . The connection terminals on the switch elements , which are rotated by 45 °, enable quick and easy wiring .
