MT-GD2 Universal Tongue Switch with Metal Housing
The MT-GD2 is a robust tongue actuated safety interlock switch designed to fit at the opening edge of sliding, hinged or lift-off guards. With its dual entry slots and rotatable head, the MT-GD2 can offer eight different options for actuator entry.
The MT-GD2 features a compact housing of only 117mm x 40mm x 43mm (4.61in x 1.57in x 1.69in) with DIN standard fixing centers and includes forced guided contacts and a tamper-resistent mechanism.
The MT-GD2 is available with 2 N.C. + 1 N.O., contact sets enabling it to be used as part of a system for higher-risk applications. The unit is sealed to IP67 and has 1 conduit entry 1/2in NPT. Operation of the switch is achieved by the insertion of the specially profiled stainless steel actuator which should be permanently fixed to the leading edge of the guard door. An optional flexible actuator allows the MT-GD2 to operate on smaller radii doors (>60mm (2.36in)) and a flat actuator gives additional mounting options.
Features
- Strong and versatile, can be used in most applications
- Self-ejecting tamper resistant actuator, only operates when mounted to the guard
- Four possible actuator entry points, easy to install
