Product Description

Product Overview

The EX-AZ 3350-12ZUEK-3D is a safety switch equipped with an independent actuator, specifically engineered for deployment in hazardous dust environments classified as Ex-Zone 22.

Core Positioning & Function

Designed to monitor movable mechanical guards (such as doors or hatches) and access points. When guards are opened or removed, the switch immediately halts equipment operation or prevents activation, supporting rigorous functional safety protocols. The independent actuator design isolates the switch body from the trigger component for highly flexible integration options.

Explosion-Proof Zone Compliance

Compliant with ATEX/IECEx standards for Ex-Zone 22 environments where combustible dust (such as flour, metal powder, or plastic granules) may be present intermittently. The dust-tight enclosure and specialized interior components mitigate ignition risks in challenging zones common to food processing, pharmaceuticals, and metalworking.

Mechanical Properties

Housing Material: Impact-resistant, dust-proof, industrial-grade corrosion-resistant light alloy die-casting for robust durability.

Dimensions & Features: Compact footprint (40.5 x 114 x 38 mm) ideal for tighter environments. Includes a secure locking handle to prevent accidental disengagement, an M20x1.5 cable entry for secure wiring, and an optional positioning device to ensure correct actuator alignment.

Electrical & Safety Enhancements

Contact Reliability: Built to maintain precise electrical contact under low-voltage and low-current conditions, ensuring critical safety interlocks trigger flawlessly.

Lockout/Tagout (LOTO): Fully compatible with SZ 415 lockout tags, enabling staff to physically lock the switch in the open position during standard maintenance procedures to prevent accidental start-up.

Typical Applications
  • Dust-hazardous areas: Grain mills, plastic extrusion lines, and metal powder manufacturing facilities.
  • General machinery: Conveyor systems, packaging machinery, and robotic safety enclosures requiring guard monitoring.
  • Tight clearances: Equipment requiring precise centering and actuator alignment for functional safety.
