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 SGP twin safety switch is installed where in the past two safety switches were necessary. The double head enables two safety guards to be protected using only one switch.
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.
