The AZM 161SK-12/12K -110/230 is an electromechanical safety switch with a locking function, designed for use in sliding, removable, or rotating safety guards. With a high locking force of 2,000 N in accordance with EN ISO 14119, this switch ensures maximum safety in industrial applications where unauthorized access must be prevented. The switch operates on the closed-circuit principle, meaning the lock is released when power is lost, a critical safety feature in emergency situations.

The durable housing made of glass-fiber reinforced plastic is flame-retardant and resistant to mechanical stress. The AZM 161SK features 4 safety contacts and 2 auxiliary contacts, meeting the requirements of EN ISO 13849-1 up to Performance Level e. The contacts are force-guided, ensuring reliable disconnection of the safety circuit.

With an IP67 protection rating, the switch is both dust-tight and resistant to brief immersion in water, making it suitable for use in demanding environments. The operating temperature ranges from -30°C to +60°C, allowing it to be used in various industrial applications.

A key feature of the AZM 161SK is the manual release, which can be operated using a separately available M5 triangular key. This allows manual unlocking during maintenance or in the event of a power failure.

The safety switch supports screw terminal connections and offers flexible wiring options for different cable types.
