Schmersal BNS16 Series Magnetic Non-Contact Safety Switch, 100V ac/dc, Plastic Housing, M12

This Schmersal non-contact safety switch rapidly cuts power to your circuit to prevent injuries when the safety guard on your machine is removed. Thanks to its magnetic mechanism, it doesn’t make physical contact with your machinery. This reduces this risk of mechanical wear and minimises maintenance downtime. The switch is insensitive to transverse misalignment for ease of installation. It's compatible with the BPS 16 actuating magnet (617-5346), making it simple to create a complete safety switch system.

• Glass fibre-reinforced thermoplastic material is self-extinguishing for safety in the event of a fire
• Wide operating temperature range of -25°C to +70°C for use in cold or hot environments
• IP67 (ingress protection) rating means it's dustproof and can withstand submersion in 1m of water for up to 30 minutes
• Maximum switching current of 400mA for energy efficiency

• Printing presses
• Articulated robotics
• Factory automation
• Packaging conveyors
• Laboratory equipment

Yes, thanks to its non-contact operation, it won't contaminate food or beverage products.
