Safety Sensors and Switches
What are you looking for in Safety Sensors and Switches?  

Emergency Stop Switches (100 companies)
Emergency stop switches are devices that users manipulate to initiate the complete shutdown of a machine, system, or process.
Search by Specification | Learn more about Emergency Stop Switches

Interlocks and Tag Out Devices (58 companies)
Interlocks and tag out devices "lock out" valves, electrical switches or other components. These devices are used typically during service or maintenance of machinery or process equipment. Learn more about Interlocks and Tag Out Devices

Intrinsic Safety Barriers (63 companies)
Intrinsic safety (IS) barriers are devices that limit the current, voltage, and total energy delivered to a sensor in a hazardous area or flammable environment in order to prevent an explosion.
Search by Specification | Learn more about Intrinsic Safety Barriers

Light Curtains (158 companies)
Light curtains are photoelectric transmitters that project an array of synchronized,parallel infrared light beams to a receiver unit. When an opaque object interrupts one or more beams, the light curtain controller sends a stop signal to the guarded machine. Light curtains are used as personal safety devices around hazardous machinery or for permiter guarding.

Machine Safeguarding and Presence Sensing Devices (109 companies)
Machine safeguarding and presence sensing devices control machine operations and protect personnel by detecting the presence of objects that could interfere with or be harmed by machinery.
Search by Specification | Learn more about Machine Safeguarding and Presence Sensing Devices

Mechanical Safety Interlock Switches (95 companies)
Mechanical safety interlock switches couple a moveable guard door with the power source of the hazard. When the guard door is opened, the power is isolated, ensuring that the machine does not pose a hazard while an operator requires access.

Noncontact Safety Interlock Switches (73 companies)
Noncontact safety interlock switches couple a moveable guard door with the power source of the hazard. For noncontact actuating interlock switches, the guard door is linked to the control circuit contacts via a magnetic or electronic field.

Perimeter Guards (35 companies)
Perimeter guards are guardrails and security fences as well as safety devices that produce sound waves when a given perimeter is breached. Learn more about Perimeter Guards

Photoelectric Safety Sensors (53 companies)
Photoelectric safety sensors detect objects by using the properties of light sensitive elements. Learn more about Photoelectric Safety Sensors

Pressure Sensitive Safety Edges and Safety Bumpers (37 companies)
Pressure-sensitive safety edges and safety bumpers are machine safeguarding devices that sense changes in pressure.
Search by Specification | Learn more about Pressure Sensitive Safety Edges and Safety Bumpers

RF Safeguarding Devices (8 companies)
RF safeguarding devices are used to control machine operations by detecting changes in the RF field. Learn more about RF Safeguarding Devices

Safety Blocks (22 companies)
Safety blocks prevent damage to equipment or personnel by stopping the ram and die of a press from closing whenever dies are being repaired or adjusted. Learn more about Safety Blocks

Safety Laser Scanners (12 companies)
Safety laser scanners are used to monitor activity within a dangerous work area. They can be used in stationary or mobile applications. Learn more about Safety Laser Scanners

Safety Mats (124 companies)
Safety mats are presence-sensing devices used to guard a floor area around a machine or robot.
Search by Specification | Learn more about Safety Mats

Safety Mat Controllers (40 companies)
Safety mat controllers monitor areas where injury is possible due to moving mechanical parts or other similar hazards. When pressure is detected on a mat, a stop signal is sent to the surrounded machine.
Search by Specification | Learn more about Safety Mat Controllers

Safety Monitoring Systems (30 companies)
Safety monitoring systems monitor and collect information from machines and operations. If a safety fault occurs, they can signal an operator to take appropriate action, or perform the action automatically. Learn more about Safety Monitoring Systems

Safety Sensor Switches (77 companies)
Safety sensor switches are placed in enclosures to prevent accidental contact with live electrical connections. Learn more about Safety Sensor Switches

Safety Sensors (333 companies)
Safety sensors are used for machine safeguarding. Types of safety sensors are break-a-beam switches, interlocks and tag out devices, perimeter guards, photoelectric safety sensors, safety blocks, safety interlock switches, and safety sensor switches. Learn more about Safety Sensors

Specialty Safety Switches (39 companies)
Specialty or proprietary products and accessories related to safety sensors and switches. Learn more about Specialty Safety Switches

Two Hand Safety Modules (23 companies)
Two hand safety modules help prevent injury to machine operators by keeping their limbs away from dangerous machine movement. Learn more about Two Hand Safety Modules
