Safety Interlock Switches
Safety door switches and safety interlock switches are safety components that can be installed on safety gates and doors to detect entry. This lineup includes models that use the power-to-release and power-to-lock methods. Non-contact types are also available that eliminate issues traditionally caused by dust, debris, and long term wear and tear.
Products Lineup
Safety interlock switches are safety devices used for checking whether movable guards such as safety fence doors and covers are opened or closed. KEYENCE’s GS-M Series safety interlock switch uses an electromagnetic locking principle and flexible actuator to prevent door rattling and misalignment for easy locking. The ultra-compact design can be used with any kind of door and can be installed anywhere. The GS-M Series offers superior safety in addition to the usability and reliability required for manufacturing sites without hindering productivity.
Features
Introducing KEYENCE'S New Hybrid Door Interlock.
With the hybrid technology of the GS-M Series, one unit can act as either a locking type or non-contact type interlock. It also features a built-in magnetic latch that can hold the door closed, even when the lock is not activated.
Easy to Use
Alignment is no longer an issue with the GS-M Series.
It's keyless design does not require any insertion to lock, eliminating misalignment caused by improper positioning. The built-in spring and magnetic latch eliminate gaps between the sensor and actuator, significantly increasing alignment forgiveness.
Conventional
The key cannot be inserted if the door is misaligned, preventing it from being closed.
GS-M Series
Because locking is possible without inserting the key, the door can be closed at any time.
