MECHANICAL BOLT INTERLOCKS Bolt Interlocks are widely used for the interlocking of switchgears. The bolt is often used for the physical blocking of levers or rotary switches via a cam mechanism. K Single Key Bolt Interlock The K Single Key Bolt Interlock is designed for switchgear and valve interlocking applications. The unit comprises a heavy-duty lock body, a lock center and a locking bolt. Under normal operating conditions, the key is free and the bolt is extended to lock or release a cam or lever associated with the safe operation of switchgear isolators or valve assemblies. Inserting and...

KEY SWITCH INTERLOCKS Key switches provide power isolation ranging from 20A safety circuits through disconnects up to 250A. The direct rotation of the key changes the positive break contacts of the switch, thus isolating they system. This allows the key to be freed, allowing access to the once hazardous areas. Solenoid Controlled Key Switch Interlocks trap the key until a signal is received, often from a PLC. Once this signal is received, the solenoid is energized and unblocks the key mechanism, which allows the key to be released. KS Powersafe Electrical Switch The KS is a key driven electrical...

ACCESS INTERLOCKS Access Interlocks provide a trapped key method for obtaining access to numerous types of doors, hatches and panels. The door can only be accessed when a key is present. While the door is open, the key remains trapped in the lock so that the system cannot be re-energized until the door is closed and the key is returned to the power isolation source. AI Single Key Access Interlock The AI is a single key access interlock suitable for use on both hinged and sliding doors. The interlock has an open cavity design and is manufactured in a durable stainless steel or brass making it...

While the door is open, the key remains trapped in the lock so that the system cannot be re-energized until the door is closed and the key is returned to the power isolation source. KE Sliding Door Interlock The KE Lock is a sliding door access interlock comprised of a main body and sliding bolt. The lock is designed to suit sliding doors of various sizes and thicknesses. The KE is typically used in the following...

KEYS AND CAPS The following is a selection of keys and dust caps for different applications, functions and environments. Flip Cap Protective Flip Caps A selection of protective caps is available to suit a range of applications. Caps are available in both basic plastic push-on as well as stainless steel. Suitable for use on both the figure and Q lock portions. FKW6-S** Sealed Stainless Steel Key The FKW6 is supplied with a fitted neoprene seal and flange to prevent ingress into the lock portion. This stainless steel version is suitable for harsh environments. FKW6-NI Sealed Nickel Plated Key**...

KEY EXCHANGE UNITS Key Exchange units provide additional keys for when there are a greater number of access locks than number of keys from power isolation. X Sequential Key Exchange The X type key exchange unit is designed to form part of an integrated safety system linking machine control and access interlocks. The key exchange is configured to trap and release keys in a pre-determined sequence, depending on the operating requirements of the safety interlocking system. The X box can have multiple key entering and/or withdrawing. The box can be supplied in numerous key configurations: one key...

TIME DELAY INTERLOCKS Motor driven machinery and other systems with run-down times do not provide a safe area at the instant of power isolation. Therefore, a predetermined or monitored delay is required before entry is permitted. Standstill Monitoring Interlocks provide greater production efficiency when systems have variable run-down times since access is granted at the instant that a drive has come to a full stop, rather than waiting for a time delay to elapse. BEMF Movement Sensing Interlock Both the BEMF and the MSI units are designed to control access to machinery that has a run-down time,...

SALVO Salvo is a set of dock products that works as a system to promote safety at the loading docks and to prevent unscheduled truck departure. Salvo prevents the unauthorized movement of a truck's trailer during the loading or unloading process at the loading dock. Salvo Glad Hand Lock The Salvo Glad Hand Lock can be attached to the emergency glad hand fitting of the truck trailer. Once attached, the trapped key is released and can be inserted into the Salvo Manual Door Lock or Salvo Control Panel. The Salvo Glad Hand Lock helps ensure loading dock safety. After the operator has unhooked the...
