The compact Series AZ17 is designed for use with movable machine guards/access gates which must be closed for operator safety. Their positive-opening NC contacts provide a significantly higher level of safety than conventional springdriven switches whose contacts can weld or stick shut. And their tamper-resistant design prevents bypassing with simple tools, bent wires or other readily available means. Their IP67 rating makes them ideal for interlocking safety guards in hostile environments.
