Allen Bradley Guardmaster 440K-A27010 Fully-Flexible Actuator and Alignment Guide

Complete your safety interlock switch with the 440K-A27010 Fully-Flexible Actuator and Alignment Guide by Allen Bradley Guardmaster. This actuator is suitable for use with Trojan T15, 5 & 6 safety interlock switches. It is made of stainless-steel to ensure greater reliability and durability.

Flexible actuators are ideal in applications where guard alignment is difficult to maintain, such as areas with heavy vibration or doors which are affected by sagging. This type of actuator allows slight movement within a 15° angle to enable entry into the switch. It should be permanently fixed to the guard door.

This actuator is used with a safety interlock switch to provide safe-access to machinery and dangerous areas, offering dependable protection for personnel and equipment.

Features and Benefits:

• Fully-Flexible Actuator with alignment guide
• For use with Trojan T15, 5 & 6 switches
• Made of stainless-steel

What are Safety Interlock Switches?

Safety Interlock Switches are locking devices which can be used to monitor the position of a machine 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.

What is a Safety Interlock Actuator?

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.
