Machine safety switch
Honeywell's electromechanical safety switches comprise a wide range of series designed in accordance with EN50041 or 50047 standards. The red housing color makes them easy to identify as safety switches. In addition, the switches have been approved for safety functions up to a safety integrity level (SIL) of SIL3 in accordance with the requirements of IEC 61508-2:2010.
Description
These switches are specially designed for safety applications. They shut down machines when a hazard is detected and prevent the machine from starting up while the hazard persists. They are crucial for protecting operators and preventing accidents, and feature additional safety features such as locking mechanisms and redundant contacts to ensure that they always function safely.
