The Pilz PSEN CS1.19-OSSD1 1 ACTUATOR (part number 540382) is a precision-engineered safety actuator developed for use with the Pilz PSEN series of safety switches. Acting as the key interface between machine guards and the associated safety switch, it plays a vital role in ensuring reliable monitoring of guard doors, hatches, and other access points in accordance with international safety standards.

One of its most notable qualities is its ability to perform consistently across a wide operating temperature range of –25 °C to +55 °C, making it suitable for use in a diverse range of industrial environments. This characteristic is verified under EN 60068-2-14 standards, ensuring compliance with rigorous temperature testing requirements. Furthermore, the actuator is rated for a maximum ambient temperature of +55 °C at an altitude of up to 2000 m, providing flexibility for applications in elevated installations.

The PSEN CS1.19-OSSD1 1 ACTUATOR is also tested for storage and climatic suitability. Certified under EN 60068-2-1/-2 for storage conditions and EN 60068-2-78 for climatic resistance, it offers durability during both operation and periods of non-use. These standards demonstrate the actuator’s ability to withstand humidity, temperature cycling, and other environmental stresses that are common in demanding industrial settings.

Its compact and robust design allows it to integrate seamlessly with Pilz PSEN safety switches, forming part of a comprehensive safety system. Together with the associated switch, the actuator ensures that machinery cannot be started or operated unless protective guards are correctly positioned. This not only prevents accidental access to hazardous zones but also guarantees compliance with safety regulations such as EN ISO 13849 and IEC 62061.

The actuator’s versatility makes it well-suited for use in industries such as packaging, food and beverage, material handling, robotics, and general machine automation, where operators frequently interact with machine guards. By combining compact dimensions with long-lasting materials, it offers reliability while maintaining minimal impact on machine layout.

In summary, the Pilz PSEN CS1.19-OSSD1 1 ACTUATOR (540382) is a durable, compliant, and highly reliable safety actuator designed for use with PSEN safety switches. With compliance to EN 60068 standards, operating capability from –25 °C to +55 °C, and robust construction, it provides engineers and system integrators with confidence in ensuring consistent guard locking and personnel protection in industrial environments.
