29mm (2.95 x 0.98 x 1.14in)—making it the smallest interlock
currently available. The Sprite has been designed for smaller
machines such as printing machines, copiers or domestic machinery
which, until now, have been unable use standard safety interlocks
due to space restrictions. Despite its diminutive size the Sprite
includes the necessary safety related functions, such as forced guided
contacts and a tamper resistant mechanism allowing machinery to be
safeguarded in compliance with the machinery directive.
The Sprite’s shaft is connected to the existing hinge pin and the
degree of operation can be adjusted to suit the application via the
adjustable cam in the switch head.
Note:
After adjustment, the cam must be secured in position with the
