Overview
The Telemecanique XCSZ12 is a safety switch XCS actuator with wide fixing, length 40 mm, for plastic switch. This operating key component is a critical element in safety interlock systems, preventing unauthorized or unsafe machine operation by physically blocking equipment startup when the key is removed or out of position.
Key Features
- Wide fixing design for Telemecanique safety switches
- 40mm length—standard sizing for most XCS series applications
- IP67 ingress protection rating for dust and water immersion resistance up to 1 meter
- Designed for plastic guard switch mounting on industrial equipment
- Enables fail-safe machine control when integrated with XCS series interlock switches
Technical Specifications
The XCSZ12 meets industrial safety standards for use across demanding environments:
- Actuator type: Operating key (mechanical)
- Fixing style: Wide mounting configuration
- Length: 40 mm
