Stainless steel interlock switches for high purity applications

15 February 2016

Fortress Interlocks has launched a range of rugged stainless steel interlock switches for high purity applications such as food, beverage, pharmaceutical and chemical processing. The switches are also suitable for outdoor use.

Manufactured from 316 stainless steel and modular in design, the amGardS40 range can be configured to suit many industrial applications. Configurations include: 

  • Solenoid locking safety switches
  • Non-solenoid tongue switches
  • Mechanical trapped key interlocks
  • Machine control stations

Switches are supplied in enclosures sealed to IP69K, allowing them to be pressure-washed at high temperatures; they also have a retention force of 10,000N, so are suitable for ensuring guard doors are held closed until machines and/or processes are in a safe condition. Each module is just 40mm wide, so can be fitted easily to 40mm guarding sections or other areas where space is limited.
