Overview

ABB MKey mechanical safety switches provide reliable interlocking for doors, hatches, and protective guards in industrial machinery. These switches prevent machine operation when guards are open, ensuring personnel safety and compliance with safety standards. The MKey series features RFID technology for enhanced security, OSSD outputs for seamless integration with safety control systems, and a 24V solenoid with power-to-unlock functionality. Available in multiple configurations to meet diverse application needs, including die-cast and plastic bodies, stainless steel heads, and M20 or M12-8 Quick Connect (QC) cable entries. Models like MKEY10RF (die-cast body, stainless steel head, M20 entry) and MKEY9RFQC (plastic body, M12-8 QC) offer flexibility for installation and environmental conditions. The MKEY8ZRF provides full stainless steel construction for corrosive or demanding environments. All models deliver up to Performance Level e (PL e) and IP67 protection, ensuring durability and reliability in harsh industrial settings. Ideal for manufacturing, automation, and machinery protection, ABB MKey switches are designed for robust performance and compliance with safety standards.
