For safety gate
and position monitoring
According to the standard
EN 1088, hazardous machine
movements must be stopped
when a guard is opened and
a restart must be prevented.
It must not be possible to either
defeat (VDE 060) or manipulate
(EN 1088) these guards.
PSEN safety switches are
particularly effective and economical in meeting these requirements. They are available with
various designs and operating
principles, can be used under
diffi cult environmental conditions
and can be connected in series.
Choose the appropriate mechanical, magnetic or coded safety
switch from Pilz!
For each application …
Mechanical safety switches are
particularly suitable for applications in which the safety gate
should not be opened unintentionally. More from page 12.

Selection guide for safety gate applications and position detection
PSENmag non-contact, magnetic
safety switches can be used
when the risk analysis specifi es
a high category, where there is
heavy soiling or where strict
hygiene regulations need to be
met. More from page 16.
The highest level of protection
against manipulation can
be achieved using the noncontact, coded safety switches
PSENcode; the enable is
triggered when the actuating
element is within the switch‘s
response range and the code
on the actuator matches that
of the switch (key lock principle).

PSENbolt safety bolts are used
in conjunction with safety switches and offer the best protection
for safety gates that are diffi cult
to adjust or in areas where safety
gates are opened and closed
frequently. More from page 24.

Safety switches for every environment and
Why not fi t Pilz safety switches!
They are suitable for applications
in classic mechanical engineering
as well as sectors with rigorous
hygiene requirements, such as
the food, packaging or pharmaceutical industry.
Enduring in use,
proven many times over
The PSEN housing is made from
silicone-free PBT plastic, which is
insensitive to dirt. It has a smooth
surface with laser inscription and
the housing material is resistant
to many chemicals; also, PSEN
safety switches are dust-tight
and waterproof to comply with
protection type IP69k.
Guard locking until
the risk is averted
PSENmech mechanical safety
switches with guard locking
ensure that guards remain in
the closed position until the
hazardous movement, e.g. a
main spindle overrun, has been
brought to a standstill. In this way
you can prevent the safety device
from being opened inadvertently
while a process is running.
Transponder technology
for metal processing
plant and machinery
Thanks to the use of non-magnetic technology, PSENcode
non-contact, coded safety
switches are ideal for metal
processing plant and machinery.

application
Using the PSENcode
to monitor a swing gate
with large tolerances.
High level of safety – even
in potentially explosive areas
PSENmag and PSENcode safety
switches can also be used for
applications in which potentially
explosive atmospheres may arise
due to gases or dust.
Still functional –
even when concealed
The installation of the safety
switches PSENmag and
PSENcode can be concealed.
The PSENmag remains functional
even when covered by nonmagnetic materials.
