Reach your destination safely with our escalator product selection
Did you know that the longest escalator in Western Europe is 82 metres long? Visitors are transported up it to a height of almost 37 metres. For this, it is of course essential that the escalator technology functions absolutely safely and reliably. We support you in this with our safety switches and sensors. Find the right solution for your system in our product selection for escalators.
Safety on the run
Today, we take the escalator for granted. To ensure that it remains operational for many years, it is regularly maintained and updated to the latest technical standards.
BERNSTEIN switches and sensors are used in a wide variety of escalator applications, usually for position detection of coverings and components, but also to detect the speed of the handrail. Find the right product in the escalator technology section.
