Product Description

1. ​Hygienic Safety Actuator Overview

The Schmersal AZM 161 B-ST1-AS-RA is a ​stainless steel actuator​ engineered for precision alignment with magnetic safety switches in extreme washdown environments. Featuring a ​16mm tongue length (ST1 profile)​​ and ​​±3mm lateral tolerance, this IP69K-rated device enables reliable non-contact guard monitoring. Constructed from ​electropolished AISI 316L stainless steel (RA suffix)​, it withstands high-pressure cleaning (100 bar @ 80°C), chemicals (pH 1-14), and temperatures from ​​-30°C to +85°C. The "AS" designation provides ​adjustable mounting slots​ for simplified installation, while integrated ​128-bit encrypted magnetic coding​ prevents tampering. Compliant with EHEDG and 3-A sanitary standards, its crevice-free surfaces (Ra ≤0.8μm) and self-draining design make it ideal for food processing, pharmaceutical, and chemical applications requiring bacterial growth prevention.

2. ​Key Technical Parameters

  • Mechanical Specifications:
    • Tongue Length: 16mm ±0.2mm
    • Engagement Depth: 8mm ±0.3mm
    • Lateral Adjustment: ±3mm
  • Material Composition:
    • Body: AISI 316L stainless steel (electropolished)
    • Magnet: Epoxy-encapsulated ferrite (50N holding force)
  • Environmental Resilience:
    • IP69K (IEC 60529)
    • Chemical Resistance: Resists acids, caustics, solvents
  • Mounting:
    • Slotted holes for ±2mm vertical adjustment
    • M5 stainless steel mounting hardware included
  • Certifications:
    • 3-A 08-19
    • EHEDG Type EL-A1
    • ATEX/IECEx Zone 22

3. ​Targeted Industrial Applications

This actuator enables safety interlocking in corrosive/sterile environments:

  • Pharmaceutical Isolators: RABS door interlocks requiring GMP compliance
  • Dairy Processing: CIP-cleaned valve manifold guards
  • Beverage Canning: Filler line access hatches with caustic washdown
  • Chemical Sampling Ports: Solvent-resistant access covers
  • Biotech Fermenters: Sterile reactor lid monitoring
  • Meat Processing: Bone saw guard interlocks with daily sanitation
  • Cosmetics Mixing: Nano-emulsion reactor access security
  • Marine Equipment: Saltwater-resistant safety gates
    Its compact design integrates with Schmersal BNS 16 series safety switches to monitor guard positions while withstanding >10,000 autoclave cycles (135°C steam sterilization).

4. ​Functional Advantages

  • Corrosion Defense:
    • Passivated SS316L resists chloride-induced pitting
    • Hermetic magnet encapsulation prevents fluid ingress
  • Hygienic Optimization:
    • 0° drainage angle (EN 1672-2 compliant)
    • Validated cleanability per EHEDG test method
  • Installation Precision:
    • Laser-etched alignment marks (±0.3mm accuracy)
    • Tool-free lateral adjustment (±3mm)
  • Tamper Resistance:
    • Unique magnetic coding prevents substitution
    • Torque-controlled security screws (4Nm)
  • Maintenance Efficiency:

    5 million operation cycles
    30-second replacement without tools

  • Safety Compliance:
    • Pre-validated for ISO 14119 Type 4
    • SIL 2 compatible with safety switches

5. ​Safety Integration & Operation

Interlock Sequence:

  1. Guard Closure:
    • Actuator inserts into switch within 16mm → magnetic field closes contacts
  2. Position Verification:
    • Hall sensors detect tongue position (±0.2mm)
    • Switch LED confirms alignment
  3. Fault Detection:
    • 1mm displacement triggers contact opening

    • Diagnostic LED indicates misalignment
  4. Security Features:
    • Rotational blocking prevents actuator removal when guarded
    • Shielded magnetic field defeats external bypass attempts

Certifications: IECEx Ex tc IIIC T80°C Dc, DNV-GL Marine
MTTFd: 75 years (ISO 13849-1 calculation)
Compatibility: Schmersal BNS 16-B series safety switches
