The Schmersal Group presents its new HDS switchgear series for heavy industry. The modular series is the first to combine various functions on one platform, making it suitable for a wide variety of applications. The basis of the new platform is the uniform housing concept, which consists of two variants: plastic (thermoset) and cast iron.
The plastic version is resistant to aggressive media and can therefore be used especially in port logistics or in loading and unloading operations, as well as in the agricultural industry, which processes fertilizers, minerals and phosphates - but also in many other areas of application. The robust gray cast iron variant is suitable z. B. for use in mining and in the bulk and conveying industry.
There are also two basic variants for the functions: the emergency stop, designed as a pull-rope emergency stop switch, and position monitoring. The basic switch for position monitoring can be flexibly combined with different actuating elements. Typical areas of application are emergency stop shutdowns, belt misalignment monitoring when conveying bulk materials, end position monitoring in steel production or level measurement in material silos.

The protection classes IP66 and IP67 provide the prerequisite for the use of the switchgear even under extreme environmental conditions.
All basic variants can be optionally connected to the Dupline installation bus or to AS-I-Safety-at-Work so that the switches can be quickly and easily networked, connected in series and diagnostics data can be transmitted better. Central terminals with cage and clamp technology reduce assembly times.
All switching devices meet the requirements for a safety switch. In addition, the HDS platform has extensive international approvals: CE (Europe), UL (US), CCC (China), EAC (Russia), Ex, Iecex (Explosion Protection, International) and Inmetro (Brazil, South America).
