GKMD06 Honeywell

Honeywell GKM Series - MICRO SWITCH Key-Operated Safety Interlock Switches: MICRO SWITCH GKM Series Miniature Key Operated Safety Switch, 2NC Direct Opening, Slow Action, 3 m Bottom Exit Cable, Plastic Housing, Silver-Nickel Contacts. The GKM Series Global Miniature Safety Key Interlock Switch is designed for use on machinery where key removal brings the machine to an immediate safe condition. The GKM Series provides enhanced operator safety when added to hinged or sliding guard doors, screens and protective covers on enclosures. Key sold separately. UL, CE, SIL 3 capable. When the application requires a miniature key-operated safety interlocking limit switch for machine guarding, Honeywell provides the GKM Series. The compact housing size of 34 mm L x 16 mm W x 70 mm H is optimal where there is limited space available on machinery. The double-insulated plastic housing and rugged stainless steel actuator key are better suited for demanding environments. The unique design of the switch allows the actuator key to be inserted from the top or the side. The switch can be mounted from the front or back as required. As with the Honeywell safety limit switches, all normally closed contacts are positive opening . Direct mechanical linkage within the switch force the normally closed contacts open when the actuator key is removed from the switch, opening the circuit. The switches are available with either a cable connection or an integral four-pin M12 connector. Features:
