KM

Features

IDEM KM Interlock switches are designed to provide position interlock detection for medium to heavy duty moving guards

 

They have robust die-cast housings and are designed to fit to the leading edge of sliding, hinged or lift off machine guards. They provide a forced disconnect of the safety contacts at the withdrawal of the actuator and have an anti-tamper mechanism

 

The rotatable heads have dual actuator entry positions to give up to 8 different entry positions. For extra durability, Flexible Actuators and Stainless Steel head versions are available

Contact blocks are replaceable with optional explosion proof versions. High holding force versions are available for applications where vibration can be a nuisance
