Schmersal 101152887 AZ 16 ZVK-M16 – Safety Door Switch with Separate Actuator
The Schmersal 101152887 (AZ 16 ZVK-M16) is an electromechanical safety switch with a separate actuator, from the Schmersal AZ 16 series. It monitors the position of hinged, sliding and removable safety guards. When the guard is opened and the actuator is withdrawn, the positive-break NC contact opens.
The housing is compact, 52 × 90 × 30 mm, and made of double-insulated thermoplastic rated IP67. It has three M16 cable entries, universal coding and a design that is insensitive to soiling, which makes it a robust and economical choice for guard monitoring in industrial machinery.
