Cable Pull Switches

The Schmersal TQ215/TQ315 and ZQ215/ZQ315 series are cable-pull switches designed for cramped areas. Their dimensions conform to the standards for position switches (EN 50047 and EN 50041), and the metal enclosure with IP67 protection makes them perfect for demanding environments such as mining, heavy industry, and raw materials processing. The ZQ215/ZQ315 pull-wire emergency stop switches include an unlocking function that must be actively reset before the next actuation, supporting ISO 13850 emergency stop requirements.

Applications

  • Emergency stop safeguarding along conveyors, transfer lines, and large machines.
  • Hazardous area protection in mining, heavy industry, and raw materials processing.
  • Outdoor installations requiring IP67 weatherproof protection.
  • Signal transmitter applications where a switching command must be accessible anywhere along a wire run.
  • Space-constrained installations where a compact switch body is required.

Key Features

  • Compact body dimensioned to EN 50047 (TQ215/ZQ215) and EN 50041 (TQ315/ZQ315) position switch standards.
  • Robust metal enclosure rated IP67 for wet, dusty, and outdoor environments.
  • Modular design — configurable with up to three switching contacts, various connection options, and LED status indicators.
  • LED status indicators for rapid identification of an actuated device, reducing downtime during reset.
  • ZQ215/ZQ315 emergency versions require active reset before re-actuation (ISO 13850 compliant).
  • Wire lengths up to 25 m per device; TQ and ZQ available in two body sizes.
