Banner introduces SI-HG63 Series Hinge Safety Interlock Switches for safeguarding of hazards. SI-HG63 hinge switches are used in place of the standard hinges on swinging guards, gates or doors. When the hinge switch is activated, these normally closed safety contacts are forced open by a nonresilient mechanical means (not reliant on springs), interrupting the electrical circuit and sending a stop signal to the machine control. Banners SI-HG63 hinge switches are built to withstand harsh plant environments, with each safety switch body integrated into a highly robust PBT housing. They are rated IEC IP67 and deliver superior performance and improved protection against defeat over actuator-style safety switches.
