The Pilz PSEN ma1.4-10mm 1actuator (506301) is a non-contact safety switch designed to deliver reliable, standards-compliant monitoring of safety gates, access points, and protective covers. Developed by Pilz, a leader in industrial automation and safety technology, this switch ensures maximum protection for both operators and machinery while maintaining flexibility for integration across varied applications.

Engineered to perform under a wide range of environmental conditions, the PSEN ma1.4 functions in ambient temperatures between -10 °C and +55 °C and can be deployed in installations up to 4000 metres above sea level. This makes it suitable not only for factory floor environments but also for applications at higher altitudes, such as rail systems, wind energy installations, and elevated production facilities.

Compliance with EN 60947-5-3 (electromagnetic compatibility) ensures that the switch maintains reliable functionality even in areas with high levels of electromagnetic interference, such as facilities with heavy machinery, welding systems, or motor-driven equipment. This guarantees uninterrupted safety monitoring, preventing false signals or system malfunctions.

The PSEN ma1.4 is also tested to EN 60947-5-2 vibration standards, ensuring resistance to mechanical stress and shock. This feature is critical for industries where vibration is inherent to the process, such as automotive manufacturing, heavy-duty machining, or packaging lines. Operators can trust that the switch will continue to perform reliably under continuous mechanical load.

Designed with a 10 mm actuation range, the PSEN ma1.4 allows for precise yet forgiving installation tolerances. Its non-contact switching principle minimises mechanical wear, reducing maintenance requirements and extending the product’s service life. The switch is built to withstand repeated operation in demanding safety applications without performance degradation.

As part of Pilz’s PSEN family of safety switches, the PSEN ma1.4 integrates seamlessly into safety-related control systems. It can be combined with Pilz evaluation devices and safety relays to create a complete safety circuit that complies with international standards such as EN ISO 13849-1 and IEC 62061.

Typical applications include safety gate monitoring, cover protection on hazardous machinery, and safeguarding of access points in industries such as metalworking, packaging, materials handling, and general automation. Its rugged construction and compliance with international standards ensure long-term safety performance and dependable machine uptime.

In summary, the Pilz PSEN ma1.4-10mm 1actuator (506301) is a robust, vibration-resistant, and EMC-compliant non-contact safety switch. With its extended actuation range, environmental resilience, and seamless integration into safety architectures, it offers a trusted solution for industries requiring reliable and standards-compliant machine safety.
