Product catalog summary
Overview
The amGardS40 is a modular range of stainless steel gate switches by Fortress Interlocks, designed for industrial applications. These switches are made from 316 stainless steel and offer configurations such as solenoid locking safety switches, non-solenoid tongue switches, mechanical trapped key interlocks, and machine control stations.
Specifications
The switches are housed in IP69K sealed enclosures, suitable for high-temperature pressure washing, with a retention force of 10,000N. The slim 40mm design allows for installation in tight spaces. They conform to DIN VDE 0060 Part 206 & IEC 947-5-1 standards, with a mechanical life of over 1,000,000 cycles and a performance level of PLe. They operate in ambient temperatures from -5°C to 80°C and are suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments.
Applications
The S40 range is ideal for industries such as Food & Beverage, Pharmaceutical, Chemical, and Construction Materials due to its rugged design and strength.
Components and Modules
  • Actuators: S40 Slidebar and S40 Hinged Handle for small radius hinged doors.
  • Head Modules: S40 Cap and S40 AT Slimline Head & Tongue Actuator with heavy-duty tongue units.
  • Adaptors: S40 Lock Adaptor and S40 E Extracted Key Adaptor for key control functionality.
  • Electrical Switching/Locking: S40 Stop and S40 Lok with solenoid control and IP69K protection.
Technical Specifications
  • Materials: Stainless Steel to BS3146
  • Retention Force: 10,000N
  • Mechanical Life: Over 1,000,000 switching cycles
  • Performance Level: PLe
  • Ambient Temperature: -5°C to 80°C (23°F to 176°F)
  • Environment: Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use
Safety and Compliance
Compliance with GS ET 19 standards is emphasized, recommending the use of guard locks with additional removable keys if there is a risk of personnel being enclosed within a danger zone.
Procedures
