Schmersal 101152094 AZ 16 ZVRK-M16 – Safety Door Switch with Separate Actuator and Latching
The Schmersal 101152094 (AZ 16 ZVRK-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 When the guard is opened and the actuator is withdrawn, the positive-break NC contact opens.
This version has an increased latching force of 30 N, which holds the guard in the closed position against vibration or light rebound. It has three M16 cable entries and a compact double-insulated IP67 thermoplastic housing measuring 52 × 90 × 30 mm.
