GP Design Type 2 Safety Switches

EUCHNER Design Type 2 Safety Switches are used to protect personnel by monitoring and interrupting the safety circuit depending on the position of the machine guard. To meet current worldwide standards, safety interlock components cannot be easily bypassed. These switches have positive opening contacts (in accordance to NFPA 79) and redundancy to guarantee that they fail to a safe state. The GP switch has a narrow plastic housing and variety of actuators makes this series ideal for today's installations.

Note: Design type 2 safety switch has an actuator that is separate from the switch body. The two must be combined or separated for switch operation.
