Pull wire switch RS65

2-polerobustIP67

The Schmersal Group introduces a new HDS switchgear series for the heavy industry. The modular series unites a range of functions into a single platform for the first time, making it suitable for an extremely wide range of applications. The basis of the new platform is the standardised enclosure concept, which is available in two versions: plastic (Duroplast) and grey cast iron. The plastic version is resistant to aggressive media and especially suitable in port logistics applications and loading and unloading operations, as well as in the agricultural industry in the processing of fertilisers, minerals and phosphates, plus a wide range of other applications. The robust grey cast iron version is suitable for industries such as mining or bulk materials and extraction. The function range is also divided into two basic versions: the emergency-stop, designed as a pull-wire switch, and the position monitoring. The basic switch on the position monitoring version can be flexibly combined with a range of actuation elements. Typical application areas include emergency-stop deactivation, belt misalignment monitoring in the transport of bulk materials, end position monitoring in steel making and level monitoring in material silos. The protection types IP66 and IP67 create the prerequisites for switchgear use in extreme environmental conditions. The modular HDS switchgear platform can be used flexibly over a wide range of applications. In addition, the HDS platform can be used worldwide thanks to its international approvals.
