Key-operated safety switches

Protection against third-party intrusion

Key-operated safety switches are a variation of safety switches. They consist of an activator (key) and an actuator. The pulling out of the actuator depends on the authorization, that is, the application of voltage to the coil. Powering the coil releases the deadbolt. They are most often used in doors, windows, flaps or movable guards.

What is a key-operated safety switch and why is it used?

Systemy bezpieczeństwa maszynowegosystemy bezpieczeństwa maszynowego preventa safety telemechanique schneider electric

A key-operated switch is a safety element equipped with a locking function, which distinguishes it from classic safety switches. This function means that the pulling out of the actuator depends on the authorization, that is, the application of voltage to the coil. This state does not activate the security system, it only allows the activator to be pulled out. Only the activator causes a reaction. Key-operated switchs are most often used in areas that need to be physically locked to prevent trespassers from entering a dangerous sector.

Types of key-operated safety switches

Without locking of actuating key

  • Classic in a metal case - for use on machines with low inertia and operating in normal conditions (no vibration or shock and guard mounted vertically, without risk of rebound on closing)
  • Classic in plastic case - for use on light machines with lowinertia and operating in normal conditions. For use in arduous conditions where the guard could open unintentionally, a guard retaining device is available as an accessory.

With interlocking of actuating key

  • With manual unlocking - in a metal case for use on heavy machines with low inertia, operating in harsh environments where the guard could accidentally open. Key-operated or push-button lock.
  • With interlocking by solenoid - in a metal or plastic case for use in high inertia machines with controlled opening of the protective guard. Locking of the moving guard can either be on de-energization or energization of the solenoid. The switches incorporate 2 LEDs to indicate the status of the guard.

With emergency unlocking with mushroom button

The mushroom button is mounted on the back of the safety switch. It is used to unlock the machine guard from inside the protected area. This type of manual unlocking is useful during maintenance of a machine or set of machines or when stationary with the guard closed. This increases the safety of maintenance personnel. Unlocking by means of the mushroom button takes precedence over other actions and allows the user to leave the hazardous area if necessary.
