<p>The Eaton E48 Safety Key Interlock Limit Switch is designed to be used with movable guards or covers which must be closed for operational safety. It is a mechanical switch with a rotating head and 4 positions. The Eaton Interlock Limit Switch has an IP67 enclosure rating and is constructed with aluminum die cast.</p><p>Three simultaneous mechanical actions occur when the key is inserted into the operating head to make it difficult to defeat with common tools. This switches four unique head mounting positions and rugged cast aluminum body help it stand up to harsh industrial environments. Three actuating key styles for mounting flexibility including a self-aligning version and operating head and switch body interlock for strength and a sure fit. All models meet UL, CSA, European and International requirements.</p><p>The key portion of the Eaton E48 Safety Key Interlock Limit Switch is affixed to the movable door, cover, or other such guard. The switch itself is mounted to a rigid portion of the machine. When the guard is opened, the key is removed from the switch, thereby positively breaking the normally closed contacts. This interrupts the control circuit, stopping machine operation. Locking models secure the key in the switch until current is applied and energizes a solenoid.</p>
