ELESA

ELESA is an Italian manufacturer of industrial machine components, with a product range that includes position indicators, handwheels, handles, and safety interlock switches. The company, founded in 1941, focuses on standard components for mechanical engineering, with a particular emphasis on ergonomic design and functional reliability. ELESA's product families relevant to industrial equipment include the CFSW Series hinged safety-interlock switches and handle-based safety interlock switches, which are used in applications requiring machine guarding and access control. These switches are designed to meet international safety standards, with contact ratings up to 1.5 A at 120 V AC or 0.75 A at 240 V AC, depending on configuration. The CFSW Series offers multiple output orientations (top, back, bottom) and contact configurations (1NO/3NC or 2NO/2NC), with cable lengths of 2 m or 5 m, and termination via 8-pin connectors. The handle-based safety interlock switches, such as the 260801-C1, feature IP67 and IP69K ingress protection, making them suitable for washdown environments, and are constructed from fiberglass-reinforced polyamide (PA) technopolymer with a UL94 V0 flammability rating. ELESA components are typically used in packaging machinery, food processing equipment, material handling systems, and industrial automation. 3G Electric supplies a range of ELESA safety interlock switches and position indicators, with datasheets and logistics support for global procurement. The product line includes 89 SKUs, covering various actuator types, contact configurations, and cable lengths, allowing engineers to select components that match specific machine safety requirements. ELESA's design philosophy emphasizes modularity and compliance with international norms, such as ISO 13849 for safety-related parts of control systems, though specific certifications should be verified per model. For procurement specialists, ELESA components offer standardized interfaces and predictable performance, reducing integration time in new or retrofit projects.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about ELESA from 3G Electric.

What are the key specifications of the ELESA CFSW Series hinged safety-interlock switches?

The ELESA CFSW Series hinged safety-interlock switches are available with contact configurations of 1NO/3NC or 2NO/2NC, with AC contact ratings of 0.75 A at 240 V or 1.5 A at 120 V, depending on the model. They feature an 8-pin connector termination and are offered with cable lengths of 2 m or 5 m. Output orientations include top, back, and bottom. These switches are designed for use in machine guarding applications where a hinged door or guard must be monitored for position.

What is the IP rating of the ELESA handle-based safety interlock switch (260801-C1)?

The ELESA handle-based safety interlock switch (MPN 260801-C1) has an IP67 and IP69K ingress protection rating. IP67 indicates protection against dust ingress and temporary immersion in water, while IP69K provides protection against high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns, making it suitable for food processing and other sanitary environments. The handle is made from fiberglass-reinforced polyamide (PA) technopolymer with a UL94 V0 flammability rating.

What contact configurations are available for the ELESA CFSW Series switches?

The ELESA CFSW Series hinged safety-interlock switches are available in two contact configurations: 1NO/3NC (one normally open, three normally closed) and 2NO/2NC (two normally open, two normally closed). The 1NO/3NC configuration is typically used for applications requiring a higher number of safety contacts, while the 2NO/2NC configuration provides a balanced set of contacts for monitoring and control. The specific model number indicates the contact arrangement.

What materials are used in ELESA safety interlock switches?

ELESA safety interlock switches, such as the handle-based model 260801-C1, use fiberglass-reinforced polyamide (PA) technopolymer for the handle, which provides mechanical strength and resistance to chemicals. The material has a UL94 V0 flammability rating, indicating it self-extinguishes within 10 seconds after ignition. The CFSW Series switches use a combination of metal and plastic components, with the housing typically made from reinforced technopolymer. Specific material details are provided in the datasheet for each model.

How do I select the correct ELESA safety interlock switch for my application?

Selection depends on the required contact configuration (1NO/3NC or 2NO/2NC), output orientation (top, back, or bottom), cable length (2 m or 5 m), and environmental conditions. For washdown environments, choose a model with IP69K rating, such as the handle-based switch. For standard industrial environments, the CFSW Series with IP67 rating is suitable. Verify the AC contact rating matches your control circuit voltage and current. Datasheets for each SKU are available from 3G Electric to assist with selection.

What is the typical application for ELESA hinged safety-interlock switches?

ELESA hinged safety-interlock switches are used in machine guarding applications where a hinged door, guard, or cover must be monitored for position. They are commonly found on packaging machines, conveyor systems, industrial ovens, and material handling equipment. The switch is mounted on the fixed frame, and the actuator is attached to the moving guard. When the guard is opened, the switch interrupts the safety circuit, stopping the machine or preventing hazardous motion.
