Purchase now: Schmersal 103001435 AZM 300 Solenoid Interlock
Purchase now: Atlantech Drives provides you the Schmersal 103001435 (Model: AZM 300Z-ST-1P2P), a game-changing Solenoid Interlock Switch that combines the highest safety standards with a unique, hygiene-compliant mechanical design. Unlike conventional interlocks that use a rigid entry slot, the AZM 300 features a patented Rotating Maltese Cross actuator shaft. This allows the switch to be actuated from three different sides, providing unparalleled flexibility for mounting on sliding or hinged doors, even where misalignment is common.
Technical Specifications and RFID Technology
The AZM 300Z-ST-1P2P utilizes RFID Technology (Standard Coding) to achieve PLe / SIL 3 safety ratings according to ISO 13849-1. It offers a Holding Force of 1,150 N, making it suitable for securing light to medium-weight safety guards. The «ST» designation indicates an integrated M12, 8-pole connector for quick installation. With an enclosure rating of IP 69K, this unit is specifically engineered for the Food & Beverage and Pharmaceutical industries, capable of withstanding high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns without water ingress.

Expert Installation Advice: Adjustable Latching Force
One of the most innovative, yet overlooked features of the AZM 300 is the adjustable latching force. Expert Tip: When the door is unlocked, you still want it to stay closed against vibrations. The AZM 300 allows you to set this latching force to either 25 N or 50 N simply by rotating the cross-stile 180° before mounting. If you have a heavier door or strong air drafts, select the 50N position to prevent the door from «chattering» or drifting open, which would cause nuisance machine stops.
Maintenance and Hygiene Tips
Designed for «Clean Design» principles, the AZM 300 has no cavities where dirt can accumulate. Maintenance Advice: In washdown environments, avoid directing the high-pressure jet continuously at the shaft seal for prolonged periods, although it is IP69K. The rotating cross mechanism is self-cleaning to an extent, but ensure that sticky residues (like sugar syrup) do not harden and block the rotation. The RFID technology means there are no mechanical contacts to wear out, significantly extending the service life compared to electromechanical switches.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Does this switch fit on standard aluminum profiles?
A: Yes, the housing width is optimized for mounting directly onto 40mm or 45mm aluminum extrusion profiles without overhanging, ensuring a flush and safe installation.
Q: Is the actuator included?
A: No, the actuator (Actuator AZ/AZM 300-B1) must be ordered separately. It is a simple bar design that engages with the rotating cross.
