SIRIUS detection devices are paying attention!

Short-stroke switches:accurate and compatible Exact switching is required when monitoring doors and access flaps. No problem for our position switches with short-stroke switching element. Siemens also offers a wide range of mechanical sensors in addition to the non-contact proximity switches of the SIMATIC Sensors range. The new SIRIUS spectrum of detection devices ranges from position switches in different versions, through hinge switches to magnetically operated switches. Position switch with separate actuator:proven and safe With their largely standardized housings and operating mech-anism types, our standard position switches have been tried and tested in the monitoring of protection doors.An alternative is to use a position switch with a separate actu-ator. It has multiple mechanical coding to prevent easy manip-ulation and thus overriding of safety equipment. The switch-ing unit is fixed to the door frame and the actuator to the protection door. In the safe state, i.e. with the protection door closed, the operating mechanism is seated snugly in the oper-ating head of the switch and actuates the contacts, which open with positive action when the door is opened. Standard position switches:reliable and conforming to standards With a wide range of new features, this new generation of po-sition switches is successfully used in virtually all applications:

·

Detection of hazardous movements of machine parts

·

Monitoring of protection equipment with rotary joints, such as swiveling doors, access flaps, lids, etc.

·

Monitoring of lateral-motion protection equipment, such as sliding doors, guards, etc.The dimensions, fixing points and characteristics of our position switches largely comply with EN 50041 or EN 50047. Whether in plastic or metal enclosures: we have the right switch for your specific requirements. Reduced installation time and increased flexibility can be archieved through modular construction of in- dividual components and simple connection for plastic housing. 26
