Tongue Switches

Trojan T15

Description

The Trojan T15 is a compact universal tongue actuated safety

interlock switch designed to fit at the opening edge of sliding, hinged

or lift-off guards. With its dual entry slots and rotatable head,

movable only by releasing the cover screws, the Trojan T15 can offer

four different options for actuator entry.

The Trojan T15 features a compact housing, only 75 x 52 x 32mm

(2.95 x 2.04 x 1.25in) and includes direct opening action contacts and a

tamper-resistant mechanism. The Trojan T15 has 2 N.C. safety

contacts or 1 N.C. safety contact and 1 N.O. auxiliary contact. The

unit is sealed to IP67 and has three M20 conduit entries.

Operation of the switch is achieved by the insertion of the specially

profiled stainless steel actuator which should be permanently fixed

to the leading edge of the guard door. The standard T15

incorporates actuator retention force of 30N. An optional catch

mechanism helps keep doors shut on vibrating machinery.

Features

• Compact size, 75 x 52 x 32mm (2.95 x 2.05 x 1.26in) case

• 30N actuator retention force

• Strong and versatile, can be used in most applications

• Contacts: 2 N.C. safety or 1 N.C. safety & 1 N.O. auxiliary

• GD2 style available for demanding applications

Applications

Note: Lift-off guards require good alignment when using

tongue actuated interlock switches.

IMPORTANT: It must not be possible to lift the guard

without actuating the interlock. An interlock on either

side may be required.
