Pilz: PSENslock / PSENslock 2 Safety Locking Device

February 1, 2024

Need safety gate monitoring with process guarding for your movable guard? With the electromechanical safety locking device PSENslock / PSENslock 2, you can safeguard both swing gates and sliding gates, as well as covers and flaps efficiently, up to the highest category PL e, Cat. 4 of EN ISO 13849. Manipulation protection on the RFID safety switch offers reliable process protection for maximum productivity.

Electromechanical safety locking device PSENslock 2 – The new generation

The safety locking device PSENslock is already tried and tested for process protection on plant and machinery. Based on this, the new generation PSENslock 2 brings a whole host of new features – for efficient process guarding, even in rugged environmental conditions.

The safety locking device PSENslock 2 offers a maximum holding force of either 1000 or 2000 N. With protection type IP67 / IP6K9K, PSENslock 2 is insensitive to dust and water. The more hygienic design prevents dust and dirt deposits. Special versions with stainless steel components are also available for more hygiene-critical applications in the packaging industry.

Can be used for personnel protection

For applications that require safe guard locking for personnel protection, there is also a version available that safely monitors the holding force. Usable up to PL c, Cat. 2, this version enables a holding force of 1000 N.

Safety gate guarding with PSENslock 2

Whether separately or in series, PSENslock 2 can be used universally for safety gate guarding. PSENslock 2 offers reliable protection for hygiene-critical applications such as those in the packaging industry, food and beverage or pharmaceutical industry, for example. Extended diagnostic options are available in combination with the intelligent diagnostic system SDD, allowing availability to be increased even further.
