Comitronic BTI Supermagnet electromagnetic safety lock

Comitronic BTI has developed a range of interlocking devices suitable for hostile environments, especially in the food processing industry. The Comitronic BTI Supermagnet is an electromagnetic safety lock for machine protection which holds the doors or casing closed in harsh environments.

One of the features that distinguish the Supermagnet lock from other interlocking devices is the fact that it locks without power, providing permanent safety. If there is a power cut or a cable cut, the Supermagnet will still keep the door closed.

Supermagnet is available in two versions: the ‘with power’ version or the ‘without power’ version that works when the power supply is switched off. The second version consumes only 40 mA, even when it is closed.

If used with a safety module, the Supermagnet can attain a performance level up to Category 4 PLe. Supermagnet’s magnetic holding force of 20-100 kg protects users from accidental opening which would stop production and thus lead to loss of time. The magnetic holding is strengthened by Supermagnet’s floating 360° counter-plate, which ensures good contact with the magnets even if the door is loose.

The Supermagnet’s casing is available in polycarbonate or in stainless steel. The stainless steel version is mirror polished to IP68.

Another feature of all Supermagnet versions is a 50 cm pigtail cable, which allows users to place the M12 connector in a protected position. The Supermagnet is laser etched and mechanically stamped, ensuring that all product and traceability information is permanently available.
