Description
MAGNASAFE MS1 safety switches are magnetically
operated non-contact safety switch for use in machine
guarding applications.
The non-contact operation makes the MS1 easy to install
and tolerant to misalignment, providing a simple and reliable
solution to machine guard interlocking.
The MS1 is manufactured in a robust ABS housing, and both
switch and actuator are fully sealed to IP67 and suitable for
use in wet or dusty environments
With correct installation, the MS1 safety switches comply
with the guidelines given in EN1088.
Operation
When the MS1 safety switch and actuator are within the
specified operating range (See table on page 3 for switching
distances), the Safety Contacts will be closed and the
Auxiliary Contact will be open.
When the actuator moves out of the operating range, the
Safety Contacts will open and the Auxiliary Contact will
close for indication.
The MS1 safety switch and actuator are designed to
approach each other from most angles. When the switch is
closed the targets on the printed face of the switch must be
aligned.
Applications
Machine guards where door locking is not required.
