Bernstein AG offers a comprehensive range of industrial safety products including mechanical and electronic safety switches, sensors, and safety relays designed to secure machinery and protect personnel. Their solutions are standard-compliant up to Performance Level e (PL e).
Safety Switches and Sensors
Bernstein AG provides a variety of switches and sensors to monitor access points like doors, flaps, and hoods.
- Mechanical Safety Switches: These switches use a physical actuator (like a key or plunger) to detect whether an access point is open or closed, providing direct and reliable feedback. Examples: The Bernstein AG I88 SU/U Safety Switch with Spindle Actuator (IP65 rated, fiberglass housing) and the Bernstein AG SKT Safety Interlock Switch (IP65 rated, glass fibre reinforced thermoplastic housing).
- Non-Contact Safety Sensors: Operating without mechanical wear, these sensors (using RFID, magnetic, or inductive technology) are suitable for demanding environments with vibration, dirt, or moisture. Examples: The Bernstein AG SRF safety sensors can be connected in series for safeguarding multiple guards.
- Safety Switches with Guard Locking: These devices lock access points until a hazard (e.g., rotating machinery) has completely stopped, ensuring safety during rundown times.
Bernstein AG also manufactures other safety-related products:
- Emergency stop devices
- Rope pull switches for securing long distances along conveyor systems
- Foot switches
- Safety hinge switches that combine a hinge and safety switch in one unit
