Machine safety

Automation technology

Schmersal has developed an extensive range of safety switchgears for position detection in automation technology.  Many solutions of our extensive program are “custom-made”, i.e. they were developed in accordance with the specifications and wishes of our customers.  Apart from position switches, the product portfolio also includes, amongst others, pull-wire switches, foot switches, micro-switches, magnetic Reed switches and proximity switches. more

Explosion protection

Not only chemical companies and refineries are concerned by the explosion protection theme. Many dusts in the foodstuff industry (from flour and pudding powder to cacao and coffee) are explosive, as are the grinding dusts from light metals such as aluminium and magnesium, when mixed with air.

For this complex and critical field of application, the Schmersal Group offers (safety) switchgear, which where developed and manufactured in accordance with the ATEX Directives as well as other, non-European regulations regarding explosion protection. The centre of competence for Ex switchgear within the Schmersal Group is Elan Schaltelemente GmbH&Co.KG, located at Wettenberg. In April 2008, the production of this subsidiary was certified according to the ATEX Directives. more
