Hinged machinery guards and covers as well as safety fence professional doors may be found in every type of industry. The Bernstein safety hinge switch SHS represents the integration of a protective switch in a load-bearing hinge for industrial applications.
The slim profile of the SHS allows the hinge to be readily mounted where space is constrained.
The operating angle is a full 180°, the switching point can be set between 0° and 180°.
The SHS hinge switch opens new doors with the safety contact mounted internally, inaccessible to the user and therefore providing excellent tamper protection.
2 SHS each with a forced disconnect safety contact allow safety category 4 systems to be configured subject to the required risk analysis and safety contact monitoring.
One or more SHS may be used dependent on the category of safety protection required.
Matching professional hinges without safety contacts are also available, allowing the style to be standardised for general use.
Connectors specification as well as fixed cable versions with axial and radial (rear) mounting are available.
An IP67 protection rating is sufficient for nearly all machine environments.
