Allen Bradley Guardmaster Fully Flexible Actuator for Use with 440G Safety Switch

Use this metal actuator from Rockwell Automation's Allen Bradley range to complete the 440G safety switch for personnel and machine protection. The actuator keeps the guard door locked when it's closed and isolates power to the machine when it's open, making it a simple safety solution. It's made of robust stainless steel that provides durability and corrosion resistance for a long service life, even when used in tough conditions. A 15° alignment allowance enables flexible entry into the switch, making it a good choice for guard doors that are affected by sagging due to age and wear.

• Fully flexible design for ease of switch access
• Screw-type mounting eliminates the need for specialised installation tools
• Compact dimensions of 3.54 (length) x 0.94 (width) x 2.95in (depth) to fit into tight spaces

• EN1088, EN 292, EN 60204-01 and EN60947-5-1 (European Norm)
• KC (Korea Certification)

This actuator is used with the Atlas 5 heavy-duty interlock switch to ensure safe-access to machinery and dangerous areas. The Atlas 5 keeps a guard door securely locked until the power supply is removed and isolates the power while the door is open.

• Fully flexible actuator
• Stainless steel designed for superior durability
• For use with 440G Atlas 5 safety switches

This actuator has an IP65 (ingress protection) rating, so it's dust-tight and water-resistant. This makes it a good choice for use in demanding industrial conditions.

Safety Interlock Switches are locking devices which can be used to monitor the position of a guard door and turn off the power supply when the safety barrier is released. They can also be used to keep a guard securely locked when machinery is running. This helps to prevent personnel from accessing a hazardous area where machinery may be in motion and minimises risk of injury or equipment damage. Interlock switches are often used for industrial applications and are ideal for hinged, sliding, and lift-off guard doors.

The actuator is a separate component which is usually inserted into the switch to enable the locking mechanism to work. It forms a key part of the overall safety interlock unit. Different types include: 90º, Flat, Standard, Semi-Flexible, Fully Flexible, and Specialty.

Rockwell Automation is a global leader in industrial automation and digital transformation, and brings smart manufacturing to life. With a long legacy of creating Allen-Bradley® integrated control and information solutions, we help make you as productive as possible. Our portfolio of sensing, safety and motor control products can support your move towards smart machine applications. Allen-Bradley® IO-Link sensors are data-enabled and communicate with all field buses, providing diagnostic and health information about the device before a machine stops, and enabling quick production changeovers through fast parameter downloads from PLCs into the device. This reduces machine downtime and increases manufacturing OEE. For safety components, products with built-in diagnostics simplify the set-up of the smart device, and reduce maintenance, leading to a more efficient, machine data-driven approach.
