Schmersal AZ17-B6 Flexible Close Radius Actuator

AZ17-B6 is Schmersal’s flexible close-radius actuator for the AZ17 safety-switch family, engineered to actuate the safety switch at very small radii. The 101126060 actuator is designed for use with hinged door guards and supports a minimum closing radius of 50 mm (1.97 in) when paired with the AZ17-B6 actuator key, enabling compact guard configurations in machines where space is tight. This separate, flexible actuator complements safety interlocks by providing actuation without requiring a wide installation footprint and is compatible with standard AZ17 safety switches used on automated equipment. Typical applications include guarding doors on machinery where space around the hinge is restricted; the part is cataloged under the AZ17 family in Schmersal’s official catalogs and distributor listings as a dedicated close-radius option.
