Safety switchgear for explosive atmospheres
22 January 2014
For applications that demand mechanical safety and explosion protection, steute's Extreme range encompasses a wide range of electromechanical and non-contact safety switchgear.

The electromechanical product range has been expanded to include new variants of the Ex AZ 16 safety switch with separate actuator, which in its basic design (without explosion protection), has already become an established product when it comes to machine safety.
The Ex-variant has the same dimensions as the original version, so that the switches are 1:1 compatible for assembly purposes. Like the original product, the Extreme device also provides high levels of reliability and durability.
In order to meet the demands of explosion protection, a separate terminal box is stipulated for the cable connection; the Ex AZ 16 is optionally available with customised cable lengths. Users have the choice between versions with two or three contacts; a new addition to the range is the switching insert variant with two NCC and one NOC.
