Magnet Schultz launch ATEX Shotbolt lock
Following on from the very successful launch of its new industrial ATEX solenoid earlier this year, Magnet Schultz has launched a new Shotbolt lock which is ATEX approved to II 2G EEx m II T4
Incorporating a pull and push function and suitable for either body or flange mounting, the GTCE provides high performance, a stroke of up to 40mm and a holding force of up to 549N.
The Emessem Solenoid industrial ATEX solenoids are designed for use as an actuator to provide mechanical movement in equipment.
It is also suitable for use as a door lock when combined with an appropriate shotbolt or latch mechanism from Emessem, to secure covers, hatches or for guards on plant or for fail-safe valve closure.
The high performance solenoid can also be combined with suitable mechanisms supplied by Emessem Solenoid to provide companies with ready-to-use solutions.
The GTCE series is suitable for a wide range of applications in a cross section of industries requiring high performance ATEX rated solenoids.
These will include chemical, oil and gas plants, the paper industry, food processing, woodworking and recycling as well as designers, engineers, factory managers and maintenance staff using electrical equipment in hazardous environments.
This is a further innovation from Emessem Solenoid, a leading solenoid specialist in the UK since 1967.
Working closely with its parent company in Germany and five manufacturing plants throughout Europe and the United States, Emessem has developed a reputation for technical know-how and expertise.
Using solenoid technology, the company focuses on providing top quality engineering solutions for a spectrum of applications.
It aims to provide the highest possible level of technical performance, whether supplying a bare solenoid or manufacturing a complex assembly.
