Schmersal AZM161STS30-01 Interlock Door Handle

The Schmersal AZM161STS30-01 is a safety door-handle interlock for hinged guards, part of the AZM 161 STS30 family, delivering a rated shear force of 15,000 N to resist forced door opening. This internally mounted, right-hinged actuator weighs around 1,950 g and is rated for continuous operation up to 110°C, suitable for demanding industrial environments. It is designed for emergency interlock applications and is specifically appropriate for installations using a panic handle, with Schmersal noting that a solenoid interlock with escape release is required in such configurations. The STS30-based solution provides robust lockout for guard doors, ensuring safe access control to hazardous machine areas.
