safety solutions. Our products are designed to meet all applicable OSHA and
ANSI standards.
Refer to pages 6 and 7 for more information about degrees of protection and
electrical ratings.
Protective Guarding
Protective guarding around a dangerous machine can be achieved with
tamper-resistant safety switches. Safety switches incorporate positive opening
operation such that even a welded contact will be mechanically broken and a
stop signaled. These switches monitor the position of moveable guards and
doors, which are used to safeguard access to equipment and provide
protection from ejected pieces, chips, projectiles or oil. These safeguards
require a relatively low investment and provide reliable protection if they are
regularly checked and maintained.
Cable Pull Switches
Cable-pull limit switches serve as a readily accessible means of emergency
stop for applications. These cable-pull devices are visible, accessible and easy
to use and they immediately open the emergency stop circuit when activated.
