<p>The AZ 16 series is a robust and reliable choice for industrial and commercial applications where safety and performance are paramount. Designed to meet stringent standards, this product offers dependable operation across a variety of environments.</p><p>Operating at a rated voltage of 230 VAC with a current rating of 4 A, the AZ 16 is built to handle demanding tasks efficiently. Its contact configuration features one normally open (1NO) and two normally closed (2NC) contacts, providing flexibility in control circuit design. The slow action mechanism with positive break NC contact ensures reliable disconnection under fault conditions, enhancing operational safety.</p><p>With an impressive mechanical life of up to one million cycles, the AZ 16 promises longevity even in high-frequency operations, rated at up to 4000 operations per hour. This makes it an ideal solution for facilities requiring consistent performance over extended periods.</p><p>The switch is housed in glass fibre reinforced thermoplastic plastic, combining durability with lightweight properties—it weighs just 120 grams. The housing material contributes to its excellent degree of protection rated at IP67, making it dust-tight and resistant to water immersion up to certain depths. This level of protection guarantees that the switch can withstand harsh environments without compromising functionality.</p><p>Designed for versatility in installation, the AZ 16 employs screw mounting which simplifies the setup process while ensuring secure attachment. It operates effectively within a wide temperature range from -30&#176;C to +80&#176;C, accommodating various climatic conditions typical in Australian settings.</p><p>For those concerned about compliance and safety standards, the AZ 16 meets multiple international approvals including CCC, cULus certifications as well as conformity with EN IEC 60947-5-1, EN ISO 13849-1, and EN ISO 14119 standards. This assures users that they are investing in equipment that adheres to globally recognized quality benchmarks.</p><p>Additionally, its compact sensor size—measuring just 30 mm by length by 52 mm width by height—ensures it fits seamlessly into existing systems without requiring significant modifications or space adjustments.</p><p>The actuating speed reaches up to two meters per second which facilitates prompt response times essential for dynamic industrial processes. The use of silver as contact material further enhances electrical conductivity reducing wear over time thereby extending service life.</p><p>In summary if you’re seeking a dependable mid-life cycle component designed with precision engineering suitable for demanding applications look no further than this model part number: AZ16</p>
