Non-contact magnetic interlock MZM 100 with adjustable latching force
The MZM 100 is a solenoid interlock with non-contact operating principle, in which the locking force of 500 N is electromagnetically generated. The absence of a mechanical locking offers for instance the advantage that the magnetic interlock can be smoothly integrated in the surrounding construction and that no annoying rattling is produced on vibrating machines. For the non safety-related latching, which is required to keep the door closed, this electromagnet is used as well.

Ever since its introduction on the market, the MZM 100 has proven successful in many fields of application. The practice however has revealed that the users prefer variable latching forces depending upon the size and weight of the safety guard.

In order to enable a smooth and individual adaptation of the latching force, the Schmersal Group now has implemented an innovative idea. Through a small “target”, the user or the service staff can adjust the latching force of the fitted device in eight steps from approximately 30 to 170 N upon the start-up of the machine.

In this way, the latching force can be smoothly adjusted to the individual requirements. As one target is suitable for all components of this type, the service staff only needs one target in its bunch of keys or in its toolbox to individually set all MZM 100 “R” in the area concerned.
