Interlock Switches
Trojan 5 Universal Tongue Switch
The Trojan 5 is a universal tongue (or key) actuated safety interlock switch designed to fit at the leading edge of sliding, hinged or lift-off guards. The dual key entry slots and rotatable head, movable only by releasing the cover screws, allow four actuator entry options. The Trojan 5 contains all of the safety related functions — i.e., forced guided contacts, tamper resistant mechanism — allowing the machine to be safeguarded in compliance with the machine directive.
Operation of the switch is achieved through the insertion of a specially profiled stainless steel key that is permanently mounted to the leading edge of the guard door. The Trojan 5 actuator includes a self-ejecting mechanism that prevents operation of the switch if the actuator is not mounted to the guard door (e.g., if the operator uses a spare key).
The Trojan 5 has 2 N.C. safety contacts and 1 N.O. auxiliary contact enabling it to be used as part of a system for higher risk applications. The unit is sealed to IP67 and has three conduit entries available. An optional semi-flexible actuator allows the Trojan 5 to operate on smaller radii doors (>60mm). A catch mechanism is also available as an option for use on vibrating machinery.
EX and Pneumatic versions of the Trojan are also available.
