Electromagnetic RFID safety switches are used for the safe locking and monitoring of machine guard doors and access gates in applications where both non‑contact detection and magnetic guard locking are required. These solutions combine RFID‑coded sensing with electromagnetic locking, meaning that both principles must be satisfied for safe operation. This design provides a high level of tamper resistance and reliable safety performance in demanding industrial environments.
Our product range includes electromagnetic RFID safety switches from IDEM Safety, such as the MGL series, designed for locking sliding and hinged guard doors. The switches are available with different holding force levels (typically up to 1000–1500 N depending on the model) and are offered in polymer, die‑cast metal, and 316 stainless steel housings. Stainless steel versions with IP69K protection are particularly suitable for hygiene‑critical applications and CIP/SIP washdown processes.
Electromagnetic RFID safety switches are compatible with commonly used safety relays and safety controllers and can achieve up to PLe / Category 4 functional safety levels depending on the system architecture. The non‑contact design ensures long mechanical service life and good tolerance to misalignment. Integrated LED status indication simplifies installation, diagnostics, and maintenance. These solutions are widely used in food and pharmaceutical manufacturing, packaging machinery, automation cells, and heavy industrial applications where reliable, hygienic, and tamper‑resistant guard locking is required. Our strong product expertise helps ensure that the correct electromagnetic RFID safety switch is selected for each application as part of a standards‑compliant and dependable machine safety system.
