Georg SCHLEGEL GmbH & Co. KG expands its SHORTRON connect series with a 3-position enabling switch, being in accordance with standard IEC/EN 60947-5-8. The series-specific M12 connector has 4 poles and is A coded.
The elegant rubber cap protects the switch against dust and water, ensuring an IP rate of IP65 from the front side. Being typical for this series, the IP rate on the rear side is IP65/67.
The operating principle of the enabling switch is off-on-off. Pushing the switch to the midway position, the wanted function is enabled and the machine is turned on. In a panic situation, the operator either releases the button or pushes it through. In either case, the enabling function is deactivated immediately and the machine stops.
The options for the front bezel of the 3-position enabling switch are: silver-coloured, black, stainless steel.
The SHORTRON connect series includes numerous pushbuttons and switches like pilot lamps, pushbuttons, selector/key switches and emergency-stops for a mounting diameter of 22.3 mm. Its characteristics are a small and compact design, it is efficient and thanks to the integrated M12 plug it is also easy to mount - true to the motto "Plug & Work".
