About Safety Handles for safety switches
Safety Handles
Safety handles for use on the dangerous machinery safety gates. The ComepiAAAAAAs handles can be used combined with other Comepi products in order to create easy interlocking solutions ready to be used.
Engineered for Durability and SafetyConstructed from high-impact thermoplastic and polycarbonate, these handles offer exceptional resilience to environmental conditions and mechanical stress. Their IP65/IP67 ratings, achieved with correct installation, provide reliable dust and water resistance, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Each handle is UV resistant and compliant with international standards, ensuring long-lasting and safe operation.
Versatility for Various ApplicationsWith compatibility across isolators, disconnect switches, and safety switches, our handles come in a range of sizes (standard and compact) and support single or double modules. The fitting solutions accommodate mounting requirements for both 22mm and 30mm panels, making them suitable for diverse configurations in industrial, commercial, and export settings.
FAQ's of Safety Handles for safety switches:
Q: How do I select the appropriate rotary angle for my safety handle?
A: You should choose the rotary angle-90, 180, or 240-based on your specific application and the model of your safety switch. Refer to the switch manufacturer's guidelines to ensure the selected handle delivers optimal actuation and user ergonomics.
Q: What benefits does UV resistance provide for these safety handles?
A: UV resistance protects the handle from degradation or discoloration when exposed to sunlight or harsh conditions, prolonging service life and maintaining reliable safety performance outdoors or in well-lit industrial areas.
Q: Where can these safety handles be installed?
A: These safety handles are designed for panel or front mounting and fit standard 22mm or 30mm holes found on isolators, disconnect switches, and safety switches. With proper mounting, they achieve IP65/IP67 protection, making them suitable for demanding environments.
Q: What is the process for padlocking the safety handle in the OFF position?
A: To padlock the handle in the OFF position, rotate it to the OFF state, then apply your compatible padlock through the designated slot. This feature enables safe lockout/tagout procedures during maintenance and ensures unauthorized activation is prevented.
Q: When should I consider using a handle with a higher current rating?
A: Select a higher current rating (10A, 16A, or 20A) when your electrical circuit or switch equipment demands greater power handling. Check both the handle and switch specifications to ensure compatibility with your load requirements.
Q: What is the recommended usage temperature range for these safety handles?
A: These handles are engineered to operate reliably in temperatures ranging from -25C to +70C, accommodating a wide array of climatic and operating settings in industrial applications.
Q: What advantages do these handles offer in terms of mechanical durability?
A: With a mechanical life exceeding 1,000,000 operations and high resistance to vibration and shock, these handles deliver long-term durability and minimize the need for frequent replacement, reducing maintenance costs and downtime.
