SCHMERSAL TA471-02/02Y-H-840 Heavy Position Switch – TA400 Series
Imagine a high-speed automated production line where a guard door is opened without warning during a machine cycle. Without a reliable heavy-duty position switch, the machine controller receives no signal, safety interlocks fail to trigger, and the result can be catastrophic — equipment damage, production downtime, or worse, personnel injury. The SCHMERSAL TA471-02/02Y-H-840 is engineered precisely to eliminate this risk, delivering robust, repeatable position detection in the harshest industrial environments where standard switches simply cannot survive.
Within the SCHMERSAL TA400 series — one of the most trusted families of heavy-duty position switches in global industrial safety — the TA471-02/02Y-H-840 occupies a critical role. Its dual-circuit contact configuration (2NC + 2NO) and reinforced actuator mechanism make it the preferred choice for OEMs and system integrators across automotive, heavy machinery, food processing, and logistics automation worldwide. SCHMERSAL’s TA series is IEC/EN 60947-5-1 compliant and widely specified in CE-marked machinery across Europe, Asia, and the Americas.

Key Features & Benefits
- Dual-circuit safety contacts (2NC + 2NO): Enables redundant safety monitoring and direct integration with safety relays and PLCs without additional wiring complexity.
- Heavy-duty die-cast zinc housing: Withstands mechanical shock, vibration, and chemical exposure typical of industrial shop floors and outdoor installations.
- IP67 ingress protection: Fully sealed against dust and temporary water immersion — ideal for washdown environments in food & beverage and pharmaceutical plants.
- Positive-opening contacts: Mechanically forced contact separation ensures fail-safe operation even if contact welding occurs.
- Wide operating temperature range: Reliable performance from -25°C to +80°C, covering cold storage to high-temperature process environments.
- Flexible cable entry (840): Supports multiple conduit and cable gland configurations for easy panel and field installation.
Industry & Equipment Applications
- Automotive manufacturing: Guard door interlocking on robotic welding cells, stamping presses, and paint booths.
- Heavy machinery & metalworking: End-of-travel detection on CNC machining centers, hydraulic presses, and milling machines.
- Food & beverage processing: Washdown-rated position sensing on conveyor gates, filling stations, and packaging lines.
- Logistics & material handling: Pallet conveyor diverters, automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), and dock levelers.
- Energy & utilities: Valve position feedback on water treatment, power generation, and oil & gas installations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the TA471-02/02Y-H-840 suitable for safety category 4 / PLe applications?
A: The TA471 series features positive-opening contacts per IEC 60947-5-1 Annex K, which is a prerequisite for use in high-category safety circuits. Final safety integrity level depends on the complete system architecture, including the safety relay or PLC used. Consult your safety engineer for a full risk assessment.
Q: What is the difference between the -840 and -024 suffix?
A: The -840 suffix refers to the cable entry/conduit configuration without an integrated indicator light. The -024 suffix variants include a 24V DC LED status indicator. Choose -840 for standard installations where visual indication is not required at the switch body.
Q: Can I get a sample or small quantity for testing?
A: Yes. We support sample orders for qualified buyers. Please contact us with your company details and application requirements, and our team will advise on minimum order quantities and lead times.
Q: Do you provide the original SCHMERSAL datasheet?
A: Yes. The official SCHMERSAL datasheet and CE declaration of conformity are provided with every shipment and can also be sent in advance upon request.
Q: What is the typical lead time for this part?
A: Lead time varies by stock availability. In-stock items typically ship within 3–5 business days. For larger quantities or out-of-stock items, lead time is 2–4 weeks. Contact us for a real-time availability check.
