PSC286OF024-F1 IMO Safety Door Interlock 24VAC/DC Solenoid Operated,90 Deg, Act.

Why Choose the IMO PSC286OF024-F1 Solenoid Door Interlock Switch?

The IMO PSC286OF024-F1 is a robust solenoid-operated safety door interlock switch designed for guarding machinery and industrial automation equipment. As part of the IMO PS series of safety switches, it combines mechanical guard locking with safety contacts to help prevent access to hazardous machine areas until the equipment has reached a safe condition.

This safety interlock uses an on-to-release operating principle, meaning the actuator remains mechanically locked while the solenoid is de-energised and is released when power is applied to the solenoid. This principle is particularly suitable for machinery where guard locking needs to be maintained during a power interruption or while hazardous movement is slowing to a stop.

With a 24 V AC/DC solenoid supply, 90° actuator and IP67 protection rating, the PSC286OF024-F1 is designed for demanding industrial safety applications. Its contact arrangement provides monitoring of both the actuator and locking mechanism, enabling integration into machine safety and control circuits.

Key Advantages

• Robust solenoid-operated safety door interlock for industrial machinery.
• 24 V AC/DC solenoid suitable for common industrial control systems.
• Power-to-unlock operation keeps the actuator locked with the solenoid de-energised.
• 90° actuator provides a practical solution for machine guard installations.
• IP67 protection for use in demanding industrial environments.
• Separate monitoring contacts help supervise the guard position and locking status.

Key Features

• IMO PS series safety interlock switch.
• 24 V AC/DC solenoid operating voltage.
• 90° actuator configuration.
• On-to-release / power-to-unlock operating principle.
• Actuator is locked when the solenoid is de-energised.
• Safety contact arrangement for guard and lock monitoring.
• IP67 rated enclosure protection.
• Designed for industrial machine guarding and automation safety systems.

Reliable Guard Locking for Industrial Machinery

Solenoid safety interlock switches are used where a machine guard must remain closed and locked while hazardous movement or processes are taking place. The IMO PSC286OF024-F1 monitors the position of the actuator while also providing electrical monitoring of the locking mechanism, allowing the machine control or safety system to determine whether the guard is correctly closed and secured.

The PSC286OF024-F1 uses a power-to-unlock principle. With the solenoid de-energised, the inserted actuator remains locked. Applying power to the solenoid releases the locking mechanism so that the guard can be opened once the machine control system determines that conditions are safe.

Typical Applications

• Machine safety doors and access guards.
• Industrial production machinery.
• Conveyor and material handling systems.
• Packaging and processing equipment.
• Automated manufacturing cells.
• Machinery with run-down time before safe access is possible.
