Safety switch assembly

Abstract

The invention relates to a safety switch assembly (100) having a switch installation (120) having at least one switching member (12) and at least one actuation installation (110) having at least one assigned actuator (13, 13′, 13″, 14), wherein a transmission installation (130) having at least one transmission member (135) which is coupleable or coupled to the switching member (12, 12a), on the one hand, and to the at least one actuator (13, 13′, 13″, 14), on the other hand is provided between the actuation installation (110) and the switch installation (120). In order to have available a safety switch assembly (100) in which a mechanical fault does not lead to a failure of that functionality that optionally permits the integration of a diagnostic function in order for the system in the case of a fault being detected to be able to be brought back to a safe state and that permits a transfer of mechanical as well as of electrical/electronic functions across the entire system, it is provided that the transmission installation (120) is provided with a plurality of separate transmission members (135) which in the actuation of the at least one actuator (13, 13′, 13″, 14) of the actuation installation (110) are drivable or driven in a synchronous and mutually independent manner, and that each of the transmission members (135) by way of a rotary movement is permitted to convert an actuation movement of the at least one actuator (13, 13′, 13″, 14) to a translatory movement of in each case one separate switching member (12, 12a) of the switch installation (120).
