Schmersal AZ16-12ZVRK-M16 Safety Interlock

Schmersal AZ16-12ZVRK-M16 is a safety interlock with a separate actuator designed to secure access to hazardous machinery. Built in a thermoplastic enclosure with double insulation, it offers three cable entries M16 x 1.5 and a generous wiring compartment, with overall dimensions of 52 mm x 90 mm x 30 mm. The unit provides 1 normally open (NO) and 2 normally closed (NC) contacts for safety-latching logic and is universally codable to fit various safety circuits. It supports long service life with high contact reliability at low voltages and currents and is insensitive to soiling, making it well-suited for dirty industrial environments. The housing is rated IP67, offering robust protection against dust and immersion in liquids, while mounting is facilitated by slotted holes for adjustment and circular holes for precise positioning. Applications include machine guarding where a separate actuator is required, ensuring safe, failsafe door interlock operation in press brakes, conveyors, and other automated equipment.
