Access Interlock Salus

The latest innovation in trapped key access inteinterlocks.

It is a single-key access-interlock ideal for use on hinged and sliding doors. The interlock is manufactured in stainless steel, making it ideal for use in harsh or corrosive environments and heavy use.

Salus is a genuine innovation in trapped key safety interlocking technology thanks to its unique and patent protected high integrity locking mechanism.

Going back to the drawing board to create Salus has allowed for enhanced features to be built into the lock. These include an integrated lock cover, an ergonomic housing to reduce dirt traps and, through the lock mechanism, the ability to close gates or doors despite them being misaligned. The lock housing and mechanism are constructed from stainless steel, which means that the lock is suitable for wash down enviroments.

The interlock also benefits from the recently implemented end coding technology which expands the lock’s flexibility while keeping it fully compatible with existing systems. Further flexibility derives from Salus being DIN railmountable. Although physically smaller than previous Castell access interlocks, Salus can also be mounted to any existing fixing holes.

Benefits and Applications

Salus is part of the Castell FS range of locks and can be combined with Key switches, exchange boxes and access interlocks to create a safety system.

The key benefits of Salus are:

• Stainless steel construction, suitable for wash down environments such as food, beverage and corrosive atmospheres
• Robust design for heavy industry and harsh environments
• Sliding or hinged door for machine guarding applications
• Surface or DIN rail mount
• Ergonomic construction with integral cover reduces dirt trap
• Contains the recently launched end coded system for coding flexibility
• Increased tolerance for misaligned doors
• Quick close and release system increasing machine efficiency
