The Schmersal AZM170 series solenoid interlock is engineered for machine safety applications requiring very small actuating radii. This robust interlock features a power-to-unlock mechanism with a manual release option, ensuring operational flexibility. It accommodates two actuating directions and is equipped with two safety contacts but does not include auxiliary contacts. The device connects via an M12 4-pole connector plug, suitable for both A-coding and B-coding, and functions as a normally closed (NC) opener. With a thermal test current of 6A, it operates on a rated control voltage of 24 VAC/DC. The interlock meets utilisation categories AC-15 at 230 VAC, 4 A and DC-13 at 24 VDC, 4 A, making it a reliable choice for various industrial safety circuits.
